Genuine leather is crafted from animal hide and develops character over time. It's more durable, aging beautifully while becoming more supple with use. Genuine leather typically lasts 5-10+ years with proper care. Faux leather (synthetic or pebbled) is cruelty-free, resists water and stains better, and requires minimal maintenance. Faux leather won't crack like lower-quality materials but may show wear differently than genuine leather. Both materials are durable when quality-constructed.
Vegan leather is a plant-based or synthetic alternative that's cruelty-free and environmentally conscious. Compared to genuine leather, vegan options are typically more affordable, water-resistant, and easier to clean. Genuine leather develops a unique patina and feels more premium, while vegan leather maintains a consistent appearance. Both can last years when properly maintained. Belt N Bags offers both options so you can choose based on your values and lifestyle.
Quality indicators include: uniform stitching without loose threads, solid hardware that doesn't loosen easily, smooth or intentional textured leather finishes, finished edges (painted or bound), and proper weight. Our genuine leather accessories use full-grain or top-grain leather with reinforced construction. Faux leather should feel durable without peeling or cracking. When purchasing, check product descriptions for material specifications and construction details.
Our products are manufactured both locally and globally. We carefully select our manufacturing partners to ensure our products are high quality and a fair value.
Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
Add 2 inches to your pant waist size for the correct belt size. For example, 34" pants = 36" belt. Our size guide shows measurements from buckle to middle hole only—not total belt length. All belts have 5-6 inches of overhang beyond the middle hole for adjustment. When trying a belt, it should fasten comfortably at the middle hole, allowing adjustment in either direction.
Consider your daily essentials. A small bag (20-25cm width) holds phone, wallet, keys, and cosmetics. Medium bags (26-30cm) accommodate laptops or books. Large bags (30cm+) handle full workday essentials. Our product descriptions include dimensions so you can compare to items you already own. Most handbags transition between shoulder and crossbody carry options for versatility.
We offer a fast and easy exchange program within 30 days of purchase. Fill out our returns form specifying the size you'd like to exchange to. You'll receive email instructions for return shipping (your responsibility he unless titem is faulty). Once we receive your parcel, we'll send your requested size promptly. This process typically takes 7-10 business days total.
Refunds are available within 30 days of the original purchase date. Return shipping costs are your responsibility unless the item arrived damaged or faulty. For faulty items, we cover return shipping—simply send photos and your order number to info@beltnbags.com.au and we'll arrange collection or reimbursement.
Clean weekly with a soft, dry cloth. Apply leather conditioner every 3-4 months to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness. Store hanging or laid flat in a dust bag. Avoid water exposure and extreme heat. Minor scuffs develop natural patina that adds character. For stains, use leather cleaner designed for your leather type. Proper care extends lifespan to 10+ years.
Wipe weekly with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Use faux or vegan leather cleaner for stains—avoid regular leather conditioners. Store in dust bags away from direct sunlight and heat. These materials resist cracking and peeling better than genuine leather, making them low-maintenance. Clean spills immediately before staining sets in. Proper storage prevents permanent creasing.
Avoid submerging in water, exposing to extreme heat, or storing in humid environments. Don't fold belts tightly at the same point repeatedly—this creates permanent creases. Avoid placing heavy items on bags that could distort shape. Store away from direct sunlight which can fade colors. Rotate between multiple accessories if you own several to prevent overuse of a single piece.
Replace when leather develops deep cracks beyond repair, buckles won't stay tight, belt holes become stretched or torn, or bag seams split with regular use. Minor surface scratches and scuffs are normal aging. If an item can no longer function reliably or looks worn beyond character development, replacement may be necessary. Quality accessories typically last 3-10+ years depending on use and care.
