How do I pay by invoice?
How do I pay by invoice?
Klarna Bank AB (publ) handles the payment processing for Gusti Leder GmbH for all "Payment on account" purchases. You will receive the invoice with your item(s). You have 14 days to pay the invoice from the date on which your order is dispatched. Purchase on account via Klarna is available in Great Britain, Sweden, and Denmark.
This payment method works as follows: Once you have placed your item(s) in your shopping cart and entered your address, you'll be taken to the next step of the payment process. Select "Purchase on account" and accept the Terms and Conditions. If this payment method does not work for you, there could be a couple of reasons why. When you place an order using "Purchase on account", Klara carries out an identity and credit check. Three pieces of information are verified during these checks: Your previous orders via Klarna, the cost of your current order, and information available from credit agencies. If the results of this check do not comply with Klarna's internal standards, you cannot use this method of payment. This, along with a combination of other factors, may result in you being unable to complete your order. If you are unable to complete your order using this payment method, we recommend selecting an alternative method of payment. If you have any questions regarding payment via Klarna, we invite you to contact Klarna customer support or read their FAQs: Klarna FAQs

Leather care
Frequently asked questions in leather care
How do I stop my item smelling?
How do I stop my item smelling?
All of our Gusti Leather nature products are tanned and oiled using plant-based materials. We recommend using your new product as much as possible to reduce the leather smell. The smell of the leather should go away within 14 days of using your item.
You could apply a beeswax-based product to the leather's surface as a short-term solution. We also recommend putting an anti-smell odor cushion in your new bag.
You can find more information on our blog: Get rid of leather smell

How can I protect my leather products from rain?
How can I protect my leather products from rain?
Rain doesn’t usually have a negative effect on our leather products. However, we suggest protecting the bag from any unnecessary rainfall or moisture and treating it with a care product suited to the leather type.
How can I look after my Gusti Leder nature product?
How can I look after my Gusti Leder nature product?
Your Gusti Leather nature product can be treated using beeswax or sunflower oil. Ensure that you apply a light, even coat and rub it in well. Test it on the corner of your item first, as it can darken the leather.

Why does my leather product look different from the website images (appearance, colour, shape)?
Why does my leather product look different from the website images (appearance, colour, shape)?
We work with different producers and small family-run businesses. This can lead to variations in colour, tone, stitching, and inner lining. Each product is one-of-a-kind and any differences will be noted in the product description. Some of our products are also naturally dyed using poppy, saffron, and indigo which can also lead to slight variations in colour. Our products are then greased with vegetable oils. We do not use chromium and similar toxic additives in the tanning or dyeing process. The traditional, vegetable tanning and dyeing processes that we use give our items a unique and lively vintage flair in terms of their colour and texture, which means that the items are never exactly the same colour and each product looks (slightly) different from the next.
What are the white marks on the surface of my leather product?
What are the white marks on the surface of my leather product?
You may occasionally notice small white spots or marks on your new Gusti Leder nature product. These tallow marks come from ghee, which is used in the manufacturing process. They are easy to remove. We recommend slowly heating the leather and wiping it using a clean, dry cloth so that the leather absorbs the ghee better. You can then treat your Gusti Leder nature product with a leather protection product.
Why does my product have holes or scratches?
Why does my product have holes or scratches?
We use hides from free-range animals to create our Gusti Leder nature products. This means that the leather may have small scratches from the trees or bushes where the animals were raised, proving how natural our products are. During the tanning process, small holes or irregularities may appear in these areas. We therefore consider inconspicuous, small holes in the leather as a natural and acceptable flaw. We have no influence on the selection of items that are chosen for shipping, as we work with external shipping service providers. We therefore advise against returns due to this defect.
