If any of the above problems occur, please Contact Us.
In addition, the Tsuchiya Kaban Global Online Store is located in Japan, so after customers order from Japan through the website, the products will be shipped from Japan.
Thus, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges for personal reasons after delivery, and the appreciation period is not applicable after receipt of goods.
About exchanges
The products will be subject to strict quality inspection before shipment. If there is any natural damage to the product, if there is any defect in the product, or if the product is wrong, we will exchange the product.

Notes for returning exchange items
- Leather products are very delicate, so please be careful not to allow nails, sharp objects, water, or sweat to cause stains.
In addition, the way the leather is stored may also cause marks or blemishes on the leather, so please pay attention to this when sending it back. - When you send it back, please return the packaging box, accessories (brushes, keys, etc.), material-related labels, and non-woven fabric to the original condition in which they were delivered.
- All items to be exchanged must be new and unused and must be returned with all original packaging, accessories, receipts, etc.
Whether or not an item can be exchanged depends on the condition of the product at the time of purchase.
