Can I customize the finish or design?

Troubleshooting
Box lid does not close properly
Check if contents inside are preventing the lid from seating correctly. Ensure the box is on a level surface.
Brass fittings appear loose
Gently try to tighten the screws or rivets securing the fittings. If they are significantly loose, professional repair might be needed.
Finish appears uneven or chipped
This is intentional as part of the aged, vintage aesthetic. If excessive damage is present, contact customer service.
Leather handles show signs of wear
Use a leather conditioner to restore suppleness. Minor wear is expected for the vintage look.
