Will I receive order and shipping confirmation emails?

Returns & Exchanges
What is your return policy?

Items purchased on americandarling.com can be returned within 30 days of purchase. Items must be unused, in new condition, with original tags attached. Gift items are not eligible for return.

A Return Authorization Number (RMA) is required — items returned without one will not be accepted. Email sales@americandarling.com to request yours. Please allow up to two business weeks for your refund to be issued to the original payment method.

Do you offer exchanges?

Yes. Email sales@americandarling.com with the product IDs of the items you'd like to exchange. We'll issue a return label and RMA number. Items must be shipped back within 7 business days of RMA issuance.

If there's a price difference we'll let you know before processing. Note: clearance items and free-shipping promotions are excluded from price adjustments.

What if I received a damaged or defective item?

Contact us immediately at sales@americandarling.com. Please retain all original packing materials and the carton for carrier inspection. Damage must be reported within 7 days of delivery.

We will replace the item with an identical or similar item of equal value, or apply a credit toward your next order.

Does American Darling offer a product guarantee?

Yes — our guarantee covers manufacturing defects for items purchased directly from americandarling.com. Proof of purchase is required. The guarantee does not cover general wear and tear, misuse, third-party alterations, or airline/carrier damage.

Note: natural markings in leather are not considered defects — they are a sign of genuine, premium hide.

Products & Leather Care
Are American Darling bags made from genuine leather?

Yes. Every piece is crafted from genuine leather hand-selected from premier tanneries worldwide — including vegetable-tanned hides from Brazil and Argentina — proprietary finished at our Texas facility before any bag ships.

Where are American Darling bags made?

Our bags are handcrafted by skilled artisans using proprietary finishing techniques, then inspected at our warehouse in Rosenberg, Texas before shipment. Leather is globally sourced from the finest tanneries.

How do I care for my leather bag?

Daily: Wipe with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and moisture.

Conditioning: Apply leather conditioner every 3–6 months. Avoid petroleum-based products.

Avoid: Direct sunlight, heavy rain, extreme heat, and submerging in water.

Storage: Stuff with tissue paper; store in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place.

Our vegetable-tanned leathers develop a rich patina with age — a mark of genuine quality.

Are the natural markings on my bag a defect?

Not at all — natural grain variations, subtle colour differences, and small markings are characteristics of genuine full-grain leather. No two hides are identical, which makes every American Darling bag truly one of a kind.
