There are a few ways we can work together on a piece. The easiest place to start is an email to info@tspleatherworks.com. Tell me which item you have in mind and I’ll take it from there.
If color or material needs sorting out, I’ll reach out to you about it. Once we’ve settled the details, I’ll send you a timeline to start, a general due date, and the final price.
Typically when I take on a project, I ask for a refundable deposit of 10%, which counts toward the 50% due at the start. If we both agree on the plan, I collect the rest of that 50% (another 40%) when I start making your piece. While I work, I’ll send you progress pictures. When it’s done, I collect the final 50% and ship it to you.
Up until I start making it, some things can still be changed. Keep in mind that many changes will affect the final price. I retain the right to refuse to make any specific item.
| Stage | When | What happens | Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| First contact | Whenever you’re ready | You email me about the item you want | None |
| Details | After your first email | I contact you about color and material if needed | Refundable 10% deposit |
| Agreement | After we settle the details | I give you a start timeline, a general due date, and the final price | None |
| Start of build | Once we both agree | I begin making your piece. Changes are still possible up to this point, and many affect the price | 40% more (50% total, your 10% deposit counts toward it) |
| During the build | While I work | You get progress pictures | None |
| Finished | When your piece is done | I collect the rest and ship it | Final 50% |
