At Vaja, we do our best to make goods that you can use daily, and that you can also enjoy for a long time. We totally understand that your leather good will be riding with you almost 24/7, jumping from your hands to your pocket or bag, again back to your hands and so on and so forth. And it is because we know that our products have to put up with these daily hazards that we only use the best of the best materials available! We encourage you to take special care of your extraordinary Vaja goods, to treasure them as you do with your best pair of shoes. As you know using the same pair of shoes everyday will wear them down faster, so do show them some love, remember that they may need a small repair or clean now and then.
On the other hand, we are also part human being (Yeap! Bet you didn’t see that coming!), thus we are not entirely perfect. If you are one of those unfortunate ones who received a faulty product with an unintended manufacturing defect, or even if something breaks within an immediate 6 month period after your purchase, please contact us immediately via support@vajacases.com, so we can determine what happened and get back to you with a suitable solution.
We offer warranty repairs on almost all our products. But again, if you are one of the unfortunate who need a small repair in your Vaja goods within the 6 month warranty period, please email us at support@vajacases.com.
Please bear in mind that repairs are carried out at our main factory in Argentina, which means that once we receive the product back from you, it will take something between 2-4 weeks to repair it depending on the issue. Sometimes, it all comes down to a simple stitching repair which can be done at your local leather repair store.
From time to time, we may regret to get back to you explaining that due to the vast color and leather selection offered under our customizable goods section, we might not have the exact same leather/color available to make the repair, and that we may need to use a slightly different color.
If something breaks outside the 6 month warranty period, don’t panic! We also offer repair services. If you think the repair needs our specialists, please contact us at support@vajacases.com with pictures of the problem and we will send you a quote for the estimated repair and shipping cost. Keep in mind that once we receive the product back, it will take around 4-6 weeks to fully repair it, and that in case the product is over 6 months old, we may have to use a different color/leather/thread/material which may not match your original product 100%. We know that it might be pretty hard to survive without your beloved leather good for a few weeks; sometimes all it needs is just a small simple stitching repair which can be done quickly and easily at a local leather repair shop. If you are wavering about what to do, send us a picture and we will gladly let you know how it can be repaired locally or explain you how to send it on a recreation trip to Buenos Aires.
