Frequently Asked Questions

  • Vegetable-tanned leather is made using a traditional tanning process that relies on plant-based tannins instead of synthetic chemicals. The result is leather with natural depth, subtle variation, and plenty of personality. It ages well, which is more than most of us can promise.

  • Yes, BED|STÜ does offer repairs for eligible shoes and bags. Please contact customer service or submit a repair request so our team can review your piece and share the available options.

  • We use plant-based dyes because they align with how we believe leather should be finished: with respect for the material, the maker, and the person who wears it. While plant-based dyes can be less predictable, that is exactly why we like them. Mixed in our own factory, they help us create rich, dimensional color while allowing the leather’s natural grain and markings to show through.

  • Because real leather should look and feel real. Every BED|STÜ piece is made with 100% vegetable-tanned leather, our own plant-based dyes, traditional construction techniques, and artisan hands, which means natural marks, color variation, and texture are not flaws. They are proof of the process.

    We choose the best materials and make things the harder way because we believe leather goods should have depth, soul, and a story that gets better with wear. Genuine, Unique, Imperfect is not just what we say. It is what happens when real things are made the right way.

Reviews

Was this bag used?

"The bag I received appears to possibly be used and returned, it arrived with a huge scratch on the front and small brown smudges all over it. I have bought many items from Bed Stu and am normally very happy, but I’m pretty disappointed on this."

— Question (1/5)

Awful chemical smell

"I wanted this pink bag for a long time and finally bought it when it went on sale. It has such a strong chemical smell that I can't even bring it in the house. It has been airing out in the garage for several days, and you can still smell it in the house. It's not a leather smell. It's a chemical smell that will make you sick. I'm very disappointed because my other Bedstu purchases never smelled like this. I will be returning this purse."

Beautiful lightweight bag!

"Seriously this is a beautiful bag. So lightweight you dont know you have it on. Love the minimalist unstructured simplicity of the design. Nice summer bag. Color was hard to tell from photos but its a pastel yellow. But not too pastel. I buy too many bags and dont use them because there’s always something i find that I dont like, but this one is a keeper."
