Customer & Product Information
I. Order & Production
- The production of dB pieces takes place in Argentina in specialized, traditional leather studios.
- If your model/color is on stock, we can deliver within 10 days.
- dB's management is German. The European base is in Düsseldorf.
- For customization the standard production time is 6 weeks. The standard DHL delivery time from Argentina abroad is about one week, when we face no delay at the customs.
- dB is a traditional manufacturing company that does not place large orders or special requests in less than 3 months due to our painstaking process of obtaining the highest grade leathers and customizing those pieces ( e.g. specially requested colors).
- Orders have to be placed before mid-October to secure deliveries in time. During high polo season (Nov/Dec), quick productions are extremely difficult and we cannot guarantee those.
- Argentina’s summer break is in January. Productions are then postponed to February. So, to make it short> Don’t order between November & January , if u are in a rush!

III. Personalization and refund policy

V. Maintenance
- dB polo travel bags are made out of natural vegetal leather, which gives the special patina desired by most of our clients. For those who want to avoid usage marks (i.g. water stains from rain), we recommend to protect (impregnate) the leather with leather oil (pomade) or spray. For a charge of 10 Euros, each saddler can do this. This process should be renewed every year.
- Every open thread can be easily repaired by any saddler or shoe maker in your home town.
