Q. Where are your handbags made?

Most of our handbags come from India or China.

Q. Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do ship internationally. The international shipping cost for handbags is based on weight. The shopping cart includes a shipping cost calculator (see the first FAQ above).

All international shipments are subject to customs inspection and assessment of duties, taxes, and fees in accordance with your country's national laws. Customs duties and taxes are assessed, generally, if the item sent is dutiable and if the value of the item is above the threshold set by your country's laws. Check the Worlds Customs Organization Web site for general information, or visit the web site of that country's customs service.

It is important to understand that, if duties and taxes are assessed on an item, they are collected from the recipient. Shipping and handling is charged to cover the cost of delivery only, and does not include charges assessed by customs in the destination country. A customs form will be filled out and attached to the outside of the package identifying the contents, cost, and country of origin, and marked as 'Commercial sample,' per USPS customs regulations.

Q. What is the delivery time for international shipping?

According to the USPS, delivery time varies for First Class Mail International. Our customers have provided feedback of delivery within 2 - 3 weeks typically; however, some deliveries are 4 to 8 weeks or longer. There are often unpredictable delays in some countries due to customs processing.
