How do I pay by invoice?
How do I pay by invoice?
Klarna Bank AB (publ) handles payment processing for Gusti Leder GmbH for all purchases made with the "Payment on Invoice" option. You will receive the invoice together with your items. You have 14 days from the date your order is shipped to settle the invoice. Purchase on invoice through Klarna is available in the UK, Sweden, and Denmark.
Here's how this payment method works: After adding your items to your shopping cart and entering your address, you'll proceed to the next step of the payment process. Select "Purchase on account" and accept the terms and conditions. If this payment method isn't available to you, there may be several reasons. When you place an order using "Purchase on account," Klarna conducts an identity and credit check. This check examines three pieces of information: your previous orders with Klarna, the cost of your current order, and information from credit agencies. If the results of this check do not match Klarna's internal standards, you will not be able to use this payment method. This, along with other factors, may prevent you from completing your order.
If you are unable to use this payment method, we recommend choosing an alternative payment method. If you have any questions about paying with Klarna, please contact Klarna's customer service or read their FAQs: Klarna FAQs

Leather care
Frequently asked questions about leather care
What can I do about the smell of my leather item?
What can I do about the smell of my leather item?
We are sorry that you noticed an unpleasant smell on our bag.
All Gusti Leder nature products are purely vegetable-tanned and dyed with oil. The scent is a characteristic of this tanning process.
Regular use of the products will help reduce the odor in the long term. The odor should dissipate within 14 days. A short-term reduction can be achieved by carefully applying beeswax-based leather grease to the outside. For all items, a pleasant solution can be to initially place a scented sachet inside or use a regular perfume.

How can I protect my leather products from rain?
How can I protect my leather products from rain?
Rain usually doesn't affect the appearance or quality of the leather. Products are oiled again before delivery. This is the best protection. However, we advise against exposing bags and leather products to unnecessary moisture.
What can I do to care for my Gusti Leder nature products?
What can I do to care for my Gusti Leder nature products?
Your Gusti Leder nature products can be treated with beeswax or, alternatively, sunflower oil. It's important that all oils are applied evenly and carefully to the leather and then rubbed in thoroughly. We recommend testing each treatment on an inconspicuous area first. Treatment with oils may cause the leather to darken.

Why does the leather product look different than shown in the product images (appearance, color, shape)?
Why does the leather product look different than shown in the product images (appearance, color, shape)?
Our producers are various, small, family-run businesses. This may result in variations in color, shape, rivet arrangement, and inner lining. These are unique, handmade leather products. Additional information will be provided in the product description for these items. Some of our items vary slightly in color because they are traditionally tanned using vegetable tanning methods. When the leather is dyed, it is also done using purely vegetable ingredients, using saffron, poppy, and indigo. The products are then greased with vegetable oils. Chromium and similar toxic additives are avoided during both the tanning and dyeing processes. These traditional, vegetable tanning and dyeing processes give our items a unique and vibrant vintage flair in color and feel. This means that no two items will be exactly the same color, and each product will look (slightly) different from the next.
What is the white substance on the surface of my leather item?
What is the white substance on the surface of my leather item?
In rare cases, white spots may appear on Gusti Leder nature products. This is not mold, but rather tallow (ghee), which the producers use for care. These spots occur because the leather can retain its oiliness. We recommend gently warming the areas and then gently cleaning them with a microfiber cloth. This allows the leather to absorb the oil better. A suitable care product can then be applied.
My product has holes/scratches, why?
My product has holes/scratches, why?
The leather used in Gusti Leder nature products comes from animals raised outdoors. This type of husbandry can lead to the animals occasionally sustaining scratches in their skin caused by bushes or similar. During the tanning process, small holes or bumps may appear in these areas. We therefore consider unobtrusive, small holes in the leather to be a natural and acceptable flaw. We have no influence on the selection of items for shipping, as we work with external shipping providers. We therefore advise against returns due to this defect.
