Every Bowman Leather product is handcrafted.
Because leather is a natural material, slight variations in colour, grain, markings and finish are normal and form part of the character of each item. Product photographs are intended as a guide only and may differ slightly from the product you receive due to natural variation, lighting and screen settings.

However, we reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions without prior notice.
We may update or discontinue products at any time.

Prices may change without notice but will not affect orders that have already been accepted.
