Custom Commissions Policy

Custom Commissions Policy

Custom belts and commissioned pieces are created specifically for you — this means clear steps, a booked timeline, and a deposit to protect both your spot and my work time.

How Commissions Work

  1. Inquiry submitted: You share your idea, sizing, timeline, and any reference images.

  2. Quote & timeline: I confirm details, provide a quote, and estimate turnaround.

  3. Deposit to book: A deposit is required to reserve your spot in my schedule.

  4. Design confirmation: We confirm design details before I begin final work.

  5. Creation & updates: I may share progress updates when possible.

  6. Final payment: Remaining balance is due before shipping or pickup.

Deposit

A 50% deposit is required to book your commission.
Deposits are non-refundable once work has begun (materials purchased, design started, or carving/painting begun).

Turnaround Time

Typical turnaround is 2-4 weeks, depending on complexity and current queue. If you have a deadline, include it in your inquiry — not all dates can be guaranteed.

Changes & Revisions

Small adjustments are welcome during the planning/design stage. Major changes after design approval may require:

  • an updated quote, and/or

  • additional time.

Handmade Variation

Each piece is handmade. Natural leather markings, dye variation, and slight differences are normal and part of the handmade process.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel, contact me as soon as possible. Work completed and materials already purchased may be deducted from any eligible refund (if applicable). Deposits remain non-refundable once work has begun.
