Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ignoring Hardware

Focusing only on the leather while ignoring buckle or chain quality.

Wrong Size Order

Ordering belts without measuring waist in cm first.

Size & Fit Guide

Belts should be ordered 5-10cm longer than your waist measurement. Bags are generally one-size. Jewelry sizes should match your wrist or neck measurements exactly.

Material Guide

Quality leather goods use full-grain or top-grain leather with consistent dye penetration. Hardware should be brass or stainless steel with thick plating. Jewelry should use hypoallergenic materials.

Accessories FAQ

How do I tell if leather is real?

Real leather has irregular grain patterns and a natural smell. It also absorbs water slightly instead of beading off completely. Synthetic leather has uniform patterns and a plastic smell.

Will replica jewelry tarnish?

Quality-plated jewelry can last 6-12 months with proper care. Avoid water, perfume, and sweat contact. Budget jewelry may tarnish within weeks.
