Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for my baggage?

Great question. Emotional Baggage deserves TLC.

Full-grain leather bags: Wipe gently with a cloth and show it some love with leather cream every now and then.

Reverse-suede bags: Only the good stuff — use leather cleaner. No shortcuts. No weird DIY Pinterest hacks.

Basically, treat your baggage the way you wish your ex treated you: gently and with respect.

How long does delivery take?

From order confirmation to your doorstep, your Emotional Baggage arrives in 3 to 5 working days in South Africa.

International orders take a little longer, usually 4 to 6 days from the moment we send your bag on its way.

We cannot promise emotional healing in that time, but your new favourite bag is absolutely guaranteed.

Do you accept returns?

Absolutely. We’ll happily take back your Emotional Baggage within 30 days of purchase. Just make sure it's unused, in its original packaging, and hasn’t picked up any extra drama.

We’ll initiate the courier collection process and then deduct the shipping fees from your refund... because closure isn’t always free.

Pro tip: It will go quicker if you have your order number handy. (It's on the order confirmation email we sent you)

Are your bags sustainable?

Yes. Like guilt, they last forever.

You’re buying one really good bag for your entire adult life (because who has the energy to keep replacing things?). And when you're done with it, you can pass it down to your teenage daughter who resents you or that bestie who has been eyeing it since day one. Full circle.

By the way, they're also handmade in Cape Town, with care, intention, and zero emotional shortcuts.
