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, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway, 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
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 have noticed a strong smell from your bag. The leather used for the products in this line is treated with vegetable tanning agents and oils during the tanning process. The characteristic natural smell is a direct feature of this specific processing method.
To reduce the smell, regular use in everyday life helps; it usually disappears within 14 days.
A short-term reduction can be achieved by carefully applying a suitable beeswax-based leather grease to the outside.
In addition, you can place a scented sachet inside the bag at the beginning.
You can find further information on our website as well as in our instruction video: Removing leather smell.
How can I protect my leather products from rain?
How can I protect my leather products from rain?
With proper care, moisture does not affect the appearance or quality of the leather.
The products are pre-oiled before delivery. Nevertheless, we recommend not exposing leather items to heavy moisture for prolonged periods.
For protection and additional care, commercially available leather grease or waterproofing spray for smooth leather is suitable.
How do I care for my products made from vegetable-tanned leather?
How do I care for my products made from vegetable-tanned leather?
For care, we recommend a suitable leather grease based on beeswax or special leather care balms.
Apply the care product sparingly and evenly, then rub it in thoroughly.
Note: Always test any care product on a hidden area first. Applying additional nourishment can cause the leather to become darker.
Why does the leather product look different from the product images (appearance, colour, shape)?
Why does the leather product look different from the product images (appearance, colour, shape)?
Our products are made using traditional craftsmanship. As a result, slight variations in colour tone, grain structure or details such as the arrangement of rivets may occur. The traditional vegetable tanning and dyeing process gives each piece its own individual tone and patina. These natural variations make every product unique.
What is the white substance on the surface of my leather item?
What is the white substance on the surface of my leather item?
White deposits on the surface are usually not mould, but rather sebum or grease (ghee), which is used during care in the production facility and can resurface.
You can gently warm the affected areas (e.g. with warm air from your hand) and then carefully polish them with a soft microfibre cloth so that the leather absorbs the grease again.
Why does my product have holes/scratches?
Why does my product have holes/scratches?
The leather used for products in this line comes from animals that are kept in free-range conditions. This type of husbandry can mean that animals occasionally get scratches on their hides caused by bushes or similar. During the tanning process, small holes or uneven areas may develop in these places.
We consider subtle, minor marks in the leather to be natural characteristics of processed genuine leather. However, if an item has damage or does not meet your expectations, you can of course return it to us within your statutory right of withdrawal.
