Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The return process is seamless and fully assisted:

6.4 Can I exchange a size?

We do not offer direct size exchanges: you simply initiate a return for the received piece and place a new order on our website, subject to current collection availability.

6.5 I noticed subtle vein lines or tonal nuances on the leather: is it a defect?

No, quite the contrary: it is the hallmark of genuine authenticity. VESSANO creations are crafted from superior-grade natural genuine leather. As an organic living material, subtle grain variations, natural vein lines, and tonal nuances are not defects, but the authentic organic signature that certifies noble materials, rendering each VESSANO creation unique and exclusive.

7. Legal Warranty

7.1 What warranty applies to VESSANO pieces?

All products are covered by a 24-month legal warranty of conformity under Directive (EU) 2019/771 and Articles 128 et seq. of the Italian Consumer Code. For defects manifesting within the first 12 months of delivery, the law presumes the defect existed prior to delivery.

7.2 What remedies are available in case of a lack of conformity?

In the event of an established conformity defect, you are entitled to have the garment brought into conformity through repair or replacement free of charge (with fully covered DHL Express pickup, transit, and labor). Normal wear and tear, organic aging of leather, or damage caused by improper washing or negligence are strictly excluded.

8. Materials and Garment Care

8.1 What materials do you use for your creations?

We exclusively select noble, top-tier raw materials:

  • Premium natural hides: sourced strictly from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), ensuring the most stringent environmental protocols for water treatment, emissions, and traceability;
  • YKK® sustainable zippers & metal components: engineered for remarkable mechanical durability and manufactured under strict ecological standards;
  • Precious textiles and linings: fibers curated to deliver exceptional skin comfort and structural endurance over time.

8.2 How should I wash and care for VESSANO pieces?

For the proper care, cleaning, and longevity of each piece, it is essential to strictly follow the specific instructions indicated on the respective product page on our website and on the garment's interior care label.

Genuine leather pieces must never be washed with domestic machine cycles, bleached, or subjected to harsh chemical solvents; for periodic maintenance or stain removal, we strongly recommend consulting professional leather cleaning specialists.

8.3 What is VESSANO's commitment to sustainability?

Our commitment is actionable and authentic: we produce exclusively on demand to eliminate overproduction, source LWG-certified hides, utilize low-impact YKK hardware, and apply circularity by repurposing noble offcuts. For a comprehensive overview, visit our Sustainability page.
