How Long Does An Order Take To Arrive?

Domestic orders within North America usually arrive within 1 - 2 weeks. International orders normally arrive within 2-4 weeks of shipping. Please note that these orders need to pass through the customs office in your country before it will be released for final delivery, which can occasionally cause additional delays. Once an order leaves our warehouse, carrier shipping delays may occur due to factors outside our control. We, unfortunately, can’t control how quickly an order arrives once it has left our warehouse. Contacting the carrier is the best way to get more insight into your package’s location and estimated delivery date.

Our Bags & Leather

Where are your bags made?

Every OTTAVIA bag is handmade in Italy—the birthplace of the world’s finest leather. Our story is deeply connected to Italian craftsmanship. We proudly collaborate with artisans to create timeless leather pieces that embody quiet luxury and enduring quality.

What are your bags made from?

Our bags are handcrafted in Italy using premium Italian leather or suede—chosen for its timeless appeal, strength, and longevity.

Do I need to use leather protector?

Caring for your OTTAVIA bag begins with simple, intentional steps. A quality leather protector or conditioner can help preserve its finish and extend its life. For added assurance, we recommend visiting a leather care specialist to find the right product for your piece.

If your bag is suede, a protective spray will help minimise colour transfer and shield it from everyday wear.

Before treating the full bag, always test any product on a hidden area to ensure compatibility. Thoughtful care will keep your OTTAVIA piece looking beautiful for years to come.

How do I protect my suede?

Protect your suede bag with a high-quality suede spray to guard against moisture and colour transfer—always test on a discreet area first. Store it in its dust bag and brush gently to maintain its texture over time.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept payments from PayPal and all major credit card companies including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

Is my payment information safe?

Yes, your payment information is completely secure. OTTAVIA uses Shopify’s encrypted payment platform, which meets the highest industry standards for data protection and security.
