Pre-Orders
WHAT IS A PRE-ORDER AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
At O My Bag we choose to work with smaller factories and tanneries, focusing on quality over quantity. We don’t believe in over production which means we place small orders on a regular basis. With limited orders placed, some of our favorite pieces are often out of stock – until now. By placing a pre-order, you can purchase an item before it’s arrived at the O My Bag warehouse. Once it arrives, we will ship it directly to your door. The added bonus? You won't miss out on your favorite pieces!
WHEN WILL MY PRE-ORDER SHIP?
The estimated arrival date is noted on the product page, the checkout and your order confirmation. Once the product has been received in our warehouse, your order will ship the same day. You will receive a shipping confirmation once your order is on the way.
WHEN WILL I BE CHARGED FOR MY PRE-ORDER?
You will be charged the total value when the order is placed.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I ORDER IN STOCK AND PRE-ORDER ITEMS TOGETHER?
You will receive multiple shipments. The in-stock items will be shipped immediately and the pre-order items will be shipped once they are available.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I ORDER MULTIPLE PRE-ORDER ITEMS?
If you order more than one pre-order with a different shipping date, they will be shipped together at the later shipping date.
WHAT IF I WANT TO CANCEL A PRE-ORDERED ITEM?
You have the opportunity to cancel your order before it has been shipped. Once the pre-order has been shipped, our standard return policy will apply. You can read more about our returns policy here.
MY PRE-ORDER IS TAKING LONGER THAN THE ESTIMATED ARRIVAL DATE, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
We do our best to meet our estimated arrival dates, however due to our eco and fair production process, there can be delays from time to time. If there has been a delay with your pre-order, you can expect an email from our customer service team with an updated delivery date. You can also choose to cancel your order at anytime.
Sustainability
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'ETHICALLY MADE'?
All our items are produced by 4 different partner manufacturers in Kolkata, India. Before we start working with a manufacturer, we carefully select them based on our mission to make a positive difference. All the factories have decent working conditions in place and meet the SA8000 certification standard to ensure that. The EMA (Equitable Marketing Association) factory has a World Fair Trade Certification. Over the years we have built firm relationships with our partners. We talk to our partner producers on a daily basis which helps us to keep direct insights into, and control over, our supply chain. Next to that, we invest in improving working conditions even further, amongst others with our living wages project and several professional training sessions for workers in the factories.
So with every purchase you make, we can contribute to a better world with fairly-paid jobs, safe working environments, equal opportunities and women empowerment.
DO YOU OFFER A VEGAN COLLECTION?
Yes. At O My Bag we continuously evaluate and improve our material use, and as technology develops, so do new possibilities. To accommodate our customers that chose not to purchase animal products, we offer a small selection of bags and accessories made from Vegan Uppeal™. This is a vegan alternative, partly made from residual apple waste.
One of the most responsible things we can do for our planet is to only make high quality products that can be worn and used for years. We make an effort to design timeless pieces that you can carry and cherish for years. We still believe that animal leather is a very sustainable option, however we are very excited to work alongside the the Vegan Uppeal™ factory who have ambitious sustainability goals. Read more about Vegan Uppeal™ here.
HOW IS YOUR LEATHER SUSTAINABLE?
Our premium quality leather is tanned without the use of chromium and it will last a lifetime. We choose to work with naturally tanned leather, not only because of its safety for people and the planet but also because it gives all our products their natural trademark look. To verify the absence of chromium, the leather is tested by independent laboratories. Instead of chromium, vegetable tannins are used in the tanning process.
Research has shown that a significant part of the environmental impact of leather occurs in the manufacturing process. Therefore, it is not only the chemicals used in the tanning process that should determine how sustainable the leather is. Accordingly, water, wastewater, air emissions, and energy use are responsibly managed at our tanneries. To ensure a best practice tannery, we only work with Leather Working Group (LWG) certified tanneries. The skins are a bi-product of the meat and dairy industry and we don't source leather from cows raised purely for their skins.
IS YOUR PACKAGING SUSTAINABLE?
Our packaging is made from recycled materials and is certified by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The cardboard boxes that transport your new O My Bag safely to any place in the world is made from materials that come from local sources in The Netherlands.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR COTTON LINING?
Next to leather, cotton is our second most important material. Since 2021, we source the recycled and organic cotton fabric for our signature striped lining from Dibella India. Dibella India buys all their raw cotton directly from the Fairtrade & organic certified cooperative Chetna Organic. Dibella's team is passionate about guaranteeing sustainable livelihoods for Indian cotton farmers while protecting the soil and our climate. At the same time Dibella is innovating by providing us with 100% recycled, GRS certified cotton lining. Recycled cotton is more sustainable, because avoiding or minimizing the use of virgin fibers will significantly lower a fabric's environmental impact. In particular, using recycled cotton saves a lot of water usage in the cultivation phase of cotton.
WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO WORK WITH INDIA AS PRODUCTION LOCATION?
O My Bag was founded with the purpose of making a positive difference in the world. We aim to provide decent job opportunities in production areas where decent jobs are not the norm. Therefore, we searched for production locations where a lot of people work in the leather industry, but mostly in vulnerable positions or in poor working conditions.

Promos & Stock
HOW DO I RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT PROMOS?
You can sign up for our O My Bag newsletter to stay in-the-know about specials, new collections, great stories and promotions.
DO YOU OFFER SALES?
Every O My Bag is made by hand and in small quantities. We rarely take part in regular sales as we believe every bag has a value, reflected by the craftsmanship of each artisan. However, sometimes we love a design so much that we can get carried away. We’re getting better at predicting demand, but keeping stock in a warehouse is also not a sustainable option. Occasionally we may offer small discounts on samples that haven’t made it into production, pieces with small imperfections, and selected pieces that deserve a new home. Please note that we have a no-return policy on all sale items.
I HAVE A DISCOUNT CODE, CAN I USE IT WITH MY GIFT CARD?
Yes, you can use both your discount code and gift card together in one order. They can be entered at the checkout. However it is not possible to apply two discount codes to one order.
WHAT DO I DO IF THE PRODUCT I LOVE IS SOLD OUT?
You can join our waitlist to be the first one to be notified when your dream product is available again. All you need to do click the ‘join waitlist’ button on the product page.
HOW DO YOU PRICE YOUR PRODUCTS?
On February 1st 2022 we increased the price of some of our products. As a brand, we strive to be more transparent and sustainable over time. This does however bring some challenges.
As we see increasing prices all over the world, we too are facing price increases in our supply chain. Raising some of our prices allows us to continue producing products that are sustainable, fairly made, and of premium quality.
Even a small price increase on several of our products helps us to fully support our partners in India. 🇮🇳 Many of our product prices have stayed the same, only those directly affected by the price increases in our supply chain have changed, such as our Audrey, Beck's and Laura bags.
