Looking for customized coasters in bulk or customized leather patch hats in bulk?

We have worked with small boutique stores, restaurants, and beyond. Typically our clients will take advantage of having a custom logo made for corporate gifts or charity events. 

About our private label and corporate engraving:

• We charge an extra fee based on how complex the project is and if you need help editing your image/design. 
• We will not etch licensed images or logos unless you are the copyright holder or represent the business with direct authority to use licensed images and logos.
• Images must be provided in PNG, PDF, PSD, SVG, or AI format. Ideally, the image is vector-based; it must be black and white (not grayscale or color)

Unfortunately we are unable to offer custom colors outside of what is already offered on our website. We do have customers ask for unique combinations of thread and leather, but we sadly cannot customize our products this way.

We’re a small shop and small team and we don’t have the capacity to modify our current lineup of products.

As our company and team grow, and we keep getting custom requests like yours, we might be able to introduce further customization in the future.

Patina is the value that time puts on any object.

Patina is what forms on natural materials such as wood, denim, canvas, metal, and stone. It’s a signature of high-quality items not normally found on their cheaper counterparts (think of big box store jeans VS raw denim).

We believe that things should get better over time, not worse. Which is why we work with traditional methods and high-quality materials.

Read our article: "What is Leather Patina?"

Our full-grain leathers do not require initial treatment. However, we recommend applying leather balm if you plan on exposing our goods to the elements (ie. you like to hike with our book covers). 

All our leathers should be conditioned every 6-12 months with leather balm.

Due to the nature of full-grain leather, every roll absorbs dyes uniquely, which means the color may differ slightly from what is depicted in our images. Additionally, the color representation can vary on different monitors and phone screens, so an exact match cannot be guaranteed.

Finally, this is a handmade piece; expect minor imperfections - this is what makes your product so special. You can read about why full-grain leather can have these variations (and why people love it so much) here: https://www.popovleather.com/blogs/from-the-workshop/the-ultimate-guide-to-leather-grades

These are some examples of products in our shop, note that these are all the same colors but can vary in tone, simply because they are tanned by hand and full-grain leather.

We exclusively work with full-grain leather sourced from renowned tanneries such as Horween Leather Co., Wickett & Craig of America, and Seidel Tanning Corp.

Many people consider the leather/tannery industry to be very bad for the environment with their use of chrome dyes and lots of tanning chemicals. We choose to work only with US-based tanneries that must comply with strict EPA regulations and safe working conditions.

For example, our suppliers voluntarily submit to industry audits that look at many factors, including water and energy usage, traceability, and effluent treatment (the list is pages long). In fact, our tanneries continually improve their waste streams and have full-time chemists that work on this regularly. 

However, the chrome concern is unfounded if the tanning process is completed correctly. 

The issue here is when chrome is not taken up into the leather - this is easy to measure and is done so daily during the tanning process.

Due to the way PayPal and our eCommerce platform integrate, we can only accept PayPal payments in US dollars. If you wish to pay in Canadian dollars, a credit card is the only way possible.

Our full-grain leathers do not require initial treatment. However, we recommend applying leather balm if you plan on exposing our goods to the elements (ie. you like to hike with our book covers). 

All our leathers should be conditioned every 6-12 months with leather balm.

No, we do not allow coupon stacking. Occasionally we might run sales on our websites where coupon codes can be used in addition to already discounted items.

Even as a Canadian e-commerce business, we are obligated to charge, report and remit state-level taxes where our business meets the Economic Nexus threshold. Economic Nexus is based strictly on the sales volume and/or unit count we sell into each US state.

Avalara has a brief article that talks a little more about this here. 

BDO also has a more comprehensive article here.

If you're seeing two of the same charges on your credit card statement, It's likely that the payment for your order was rejected initially (maybe due to insufficient funds or an error with your bank) and so there's a pending charge on your bank statement.

Typically, these pending charges drop off your statement within 24 hours.

Your best bet is to always confirm with your bank or credit card company that this is the case. We do not store or have access to customer credit card information, so we are unable to place charges. They are always initiated and processed by the customer.

Typically after an order is canceled or refunded, your funds will appear in your bank within 3-5 business days. Although this can vary. We always recommend calling your bank to confirm when the funds will be available.

If an order is refunded within 72 hours of the original transaction, it will appear as an adjustment or reversal of the original charge. Not a separate refund.

For a perfect fit, measure the belt you wear now and use our belt sizing chart to help you. If you don't have a belt to measure, use your favorite pair of jeans and add 2" to their waist size. 

We designed our wallets to have tight-fitting pockets for the cards initially, as the leather will stretch with use. 

If the pockets weren’t tight, the cards might fall out. However, it doesn’t take long for the wallet to conform to your cards, with the perfect fit—easy to get at your cards without falling out. 

We recommend using your wallet for a few weeks to see how it feels and to allow the leather to relax.

We sew all our goods by hand, and there are 2 very important reasons why:

• The superior strength and durability
• The beautiful look

Read more about why we hand-sew all our products.

We use full-grain leather which is leather with the complete grain intact. The surface hasn’t been altered except (in almost all cases) the hair has been removed.

This leather can include natural markings such as scarring, blemishes, insect bites, branding, and stretch marks. But these markings are considered the signature of fine leather goods. 

A common misconception is that these types of markings are “defects.” Instead, think of these as proof of natural origin. These markings incorporate the life of the animal. The absence of natural markings often means the leather is of lesser quality. 

We do not consider natural markings a defect and embrace the unique nature of every animal hide we work with. There is a good chance your Popov Leather product will have some form of natural marking. 

Read about the various grades of leather and why full grain is the best.

Please be aware that every roll of leather absorbs dyes differently and coloring may appear slightly different than shown in our pictures. Every monitor or phone screen is calibrated differently, exact color cannot be guaranteed. Our products are shown through images and descriptions as accurately as possible. 

Finally, this is a handmade piece; expect minor imperfections - this is what makes your product so special.

We do not make RFID-blocking wallets, but we offer an RFID-blocking card that fits inside all our products.

Our leather balm is made from triple filtered beeswax, a special formulation of seed oil and naturally occurring lipids. This conditioning compound is made by hand and uses only natural ingredients.

We love hearing about new ideas for products. Please let us know about your great idea here!

No. Our products do not have California warnings. The leather and metal hardware we use do not contain chemicals currently listed under the California Proposition 65 list.

Sometimes the spring bar clip will lose its "spring." 

To troubleshoot this, just twist the top of the click clockwise. That should tighten the spring and fix it.

Natural leather can look dramatically different from one product to the next.

This leather is tanned without dyes or pigments. Since every cow is different, so is their skin. Some are lighter, some are darker, some have marbling (fat lines), some have scarring, etc. It all shows up and and is what makes every hide unique; it tells the story of each cow's life. And it's why we love working with it. Every product we make with it is truly unique.

Overtime this leather will develop patina and darken up dramatically. 

Check out this article we wrote about leather patina to get an idea how your leather will get better over time: https://www.popovleather.com/blogs/from-the-workshop/what-is-leather-patina

You'll see some great examples of before and after pictures of some of our leathers.

When a wallet, belt, or any other leather product goes through the washing machine, it will not damage or ruin the leather. The leather will have its oils washed out and need them replenished. We typically recommend massaging leather balm, neatsfoot oil, or even vegetable oil back into the leather to restore those lost oils.

We often get asked about the natural shaping of our leather belts. Our belts are intended to adapt to your unique body shape, similar to how leather shoes conform to your feet.

This custom fit is something we're proud of. Your leather belt will naturally curve and indent, particularly at the back, reflecting your body's contours, size, and how you wear your trousers. This is not just normal but beneficial, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.

You might notice the belt shaping more around the belt keepers, especially if there's a single keeper at the center back of your trousers. While some people alternate threading their belts in a different direction to balance the shaping, it's not essential. It's just the belt doing its job, conforming to you.

At Popov Leather, we believe in the elegance of minimalist design and letting the quality of our craftsmanship speak for itself. Our founder, Ryan, started this business with a vision to create products that are free from excessive branding, focusing instead on crafting leather goods that are both durable and understated. This approach has set us apart in a market saturated with branded goods.

We've found that our customers appreciate our unique position, and share their love for our products through word-of-mouth which has been far more impactful than any brand stamp could be. 

We take pride in knowing that our handmade, durable, and one-of-a-kind leather goods stand out for their quality and craftsmanship, not for a logo.
