FAQs

Processing & Shipping Time

We typically need 2-3 business days to personalize and prepare your order in our workshop. Once your order is ready, standard shipping usually takes another 3-7 business days, depending on your location and courier speeds.

If you're in a hurry, we offer an option to upgrade to Express (2-day) shipping at checkout. Please note that the "2-day" refers to the transit time and does not include the time it takes to personalize and process your order. Express shipping is available for US customers only.

Delays & Deliveries

Courier delays are outside of our control, but we can help file a claim if possible for the order. If your tracking hasn’t updated in a week, feel free to reach out to our customer service for assistance! 

We recommend checking with USPS first at 1 (800) 275-8777, they may ask for details like your address or delivery obstacles. If your package still doesn’t arrive in 7 business days, let us know, and we’ll start a USPS claim to help locate it. Most packages are found quickly, but if not, we’ll guide you through the next steps (Help Request → Missing Mail Search → Claim, if needed). We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and work on a solution once USPS responds.

Pre-orders

Shipping for pre-orders begins three to six weeks after purchase.

Personalization

At PEGAI, we love to add a personal touch to your leather crafts by offering two personalization options:

TRADITIONAL FIREBRANDING
For a classic touch, you can add fire-branded initials to your product before adding it to your cart. This age-old technique involves heating brass letters and hand-pressing them into the leather, creating a permanent and distinctive indentation. We use the Times New Roman font with the following characters available within the character limit, depending on the space available on your chosen product:

  • Latin Alphabet Letters: Uppercase and lowercase (ABC, abc)
  • Special Characters: , . ! @ # $ % & * ( ) - + ? ♥ “ : | ‘

Please note that we can only offer the characters listed above—no smiley faces or logos. Additionally, due to the delicate nature of Italian leathers and Togo leathers, we do not offer firebranding on these materials to preserve their natural beauty.

LASER ENGRAVING
For padfolios, you can opt for laser engraving to add your logo or artwork to the front. This modern technology etches your design with precision, burning it into the leather permanently. The possibilities are endless with laser engraving. Simply email us your preferred location (centered, bottom right, etc.) for the engraving.

A few reminders for laser-engraved orders:

  • File Formats: Logo/artwork should be finalized and provided in .png, .jpeg, .svg, .ai, .psd, or vector format.
  • Design Preference: Black & white logos/artwork are preferred.
  • Image Quality: High-resolution images work best (at least 500px minimum).
  • Design Work: Please note that we do not offer custom design services.

Leather Imperfections

We embrace the natural beauty of leather, which means our products often showcase unique markings. We use the top 3% of the cleanest hides and apply minimal finishes to highlight the leather’s inherent grain and the imperfect elegance of nature.


Our products are minimally finished, which means they may be prone to scratches with use. Full-grain and distressed leather, such as Crazy Horse leather, naturally includes markings like bug bites, veins, and fence scratches that reflect the animal’s life story. These natural imperfections are part of what makes each piece unique.

 
We respect leather as a living material and avoid concealing these characteristics to honor its authentic beauty. For more details on our leather care, including how to manage these natural markings, please visit our leather care page.     


If you notice scratches, they can often be minimized by gently rubbing them with a soft cloth. For additional guidance, check out these videos created by our founder:
