Introduction / Purpose
Not all products are exactly identical. This article explains why dimensions can vary per product and what this means for hand-made items.
Core Information
Almost all our items are hand-made in batches. This means that products are not produced completely mechanically and uniformly.
Hand-made means that:
each product is manufactured individually
small variations in dimensions are possible
finishing and details may vary slightly
Additionally, we often work with natural materials such as leather, wood or horn. These materials naturally have variation in structure and thickness, which can affect the final sizing.
Because products are made in limited batches:
stock is often limited
it's not always known when an item will be available again
a new batch may show small differences compared to a previous delivery
Practical Tips / Application
Use the specified dimensions as an indication, not as an exact size.
Be prepared to make adjustments yourself when combining with other parts.
If you're unsure about fit or compatibility, it's wise to check the product details.Use our Tips & Tricks to modify items to your liking.

Conclusion
Variations in dimensions are a normal result of craftsmanship and the use of natural materials. This variation is part of the character of hand-made products and does not diminish the quality.
