FAQs
Can I really make this bag myself?
Yes! More than 10,000 makers worldwide have chosen Babylon Leather kits to create their own leather projects. The leather pieces are pre-cut and pre-punched, and the step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the entire process. If you need help along the way, our team is always happy to support you.
What if I make a mistake?
Don’t worry. Many steps can be adjusted or redone. Check the tutorial again or send us a photo, and Lloyd will help you with the next step.
My kit is missing hardware or leather pieces. What should I do?
No worries! First, check all packaging—tiny parts can be tucked away or accidentally discarded. Then take clear photos of everything you received and email them to customer service. We’ll work with Lloyd to ship any missing parts as quickly as possible.
Can I get a replacement if something is damaged or lost?
If the item is missing or has a manufacturing defect, we’ll replace it as soon as you contact us. If it’s damaged or lost after delivery, a small fee for the item and shipping may apply according to our standard rates.
Can I buy extra thread or replacement parts?
Absolutely! To make sure everything fits perfectly, we recommend checking with Lloyd first. He’ll guide you to the right parts and the best solution for your kit. You can reach him at support@babylonleather.com.
I received fewer piping strips than expected. Is my kit missing pieces?
No, your kit likely includes the correct number of piping strips for your version. Round-hole kits (such as Lindy, Picotin, or Birkin bags) only require one strip per outside edge, so you may see fewer strips than tutorials for oblique-hole versions, which use more.
Important: Before starting, please make sure the tutorial title and content exactly match your kit’s version. This ensures that the piping length and placement are correct. If you’ve already followed an oblique-hole tutorial and cut the piping for the bottom edge, you can contact us to purchase extra piping strips for a small additional charge. If you haven’t cut the piping yet, simply unsew and adjust according to the correct round-hole tutorial.
What's the difference between Round Hole and Oblique Hole kits?
The main difference is the shape and visibility of the stitching holes, which affects both the sewing experience and the final look of your stitches.
- Round Hole: Features larger, clearly visible holes, making it easy to see where to stitch. Ideal for beginners who want a straightforward, stress-free sewing experience.
- Oblique Hole: Features professionally marked, angled stitching holes created using the Pricking Iron, a specialized leathercraft tool used to achieve evenly spaced, precise stitch marks. This traditional technique creates the elegant, slanted saddle-stitch look, with holes that are more subtle and less visible. Sewing can be more challenging, so good eyesight and patience are helpful. If you're up for the challenge, our customer support team is always here to guide you throughout the process.
Both options are designed for hand sewing. Choose the style you love most!
