Bought a number of these in different colours. Beautifully made and really useful
Excellent service from DD Practical. Earrings are beautiful, I love them. The colour is perfect, matches the car!! Thank you Dani.
Bought on impulse and put the bag in my car. The smell of leather is lovely.
Really lovely fine leather bracelet in a gorgeous teal/green shade, lovely to wear with multiple bracelets!
Just love it. The colour (lime green), the beautiful soft leather and the amazing quality.
Got it as a present for my sister. She loves it, it's high quality and very well made.
Gave this to my hubby for Christmas and he was delighted with it. He keeps his watch and jewellery in it. So well made using gorgeous leather. I had his initials put on it too, really lovely to personalise it! Will be ordering one for my Dad’s birthday!
This is such a useful product. I now know my phone is safe when I’m out and about which is great given recent stories about phone theft. Also it looks great and is beautifully made.
Repair made to a handle support strap on leather luggage bag. Great service, and the finished repair was exactly what I wanted - unable to distinguish from original! In fact, of the four handle support strap locations, I can no longer remember which one had failed and was repaired. The bag was used recently on a long weekend away in the Cotswolds and performed perfectly, thank you Dani for a great job - worthy of Repair Shop status!
Purchased a double braided bracelet custom, the measurements were spot on, bracelet looks great and is very comfortable. This was my 3rd purchase and I will probably purchase more. They are extremely helpful if you have a question and great communication regarding order.
