Frequently asked questions
The Texture & Grain Manifesto
Batch Variations: For our returning patrons: as we work with premium natural hides, please anticipate subtle shifts in texture and tone between different batches. Each creation remains uniquely its own.
Natural Markings: Leather is a living canvas. While we meticulously select the finest sections of each hide to minimize growth marks, they are an inherent part of a high-grade, organic material.
Our Philosophy: In our commitment to sustainability and zero waste, we do not discard leather with minor natural characteristics. If your piece carries a subtle marking, we invite you to embrace it as a unique gift from nature—a testament to its authentic origin.
Final Consideration: If you seek industrial uniformity, our handcrafted artisan pieces may not be the right fit for you. We celebrate the organic; we celebrate the unique.
Production Time
Since every item in our shop is carefully handmade to order, please allow 3–7 business days for production before your order is shipped.
Depending on order volume, item complexity, and quantity, this timeframe may occasionally be extended. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Where is the engraving placed?
The engraving is typically located on the inner side of the collar. The exact placement may vary depending on the collar style. For most designs, it is discreetly placed near the base or along the inner edge to preserve the overall appearance. Rest assured, it will not affect the external look of the collar.
Can I wear my leather piece while showering, swimming, or in the gym?
No. To preserve the integrity and beauty of your handcrafted piece, it must be kept dry at all times. Genuine leather is a natural, porous material. Exposure to water, steam, or excessive sweat can lead to:
- Structural Damage: Water strips away the leather’s natural oils, causing it to become stiff, brittle, or shrink as it dries.
- Aesthetic Changes: Moisture can cause permanent staining, spotting, or loss of the unique "gold-dusted" or "exotic" textures.
- Hardware Corrosion: Chemicals in swimming pools (chlorine) and salt in seawater are highly corrosive and will damage the metal fasteners and pendants.
What should I do if my leather accidentally gets wet?
Act quickly but gently. If exposed to water, immediately pat the surface dry with a soft, absorbent lint-free cloth. Do not use a hairdryer or place it near a heater, as intense heat will crack the leather. Allow it to air-dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area. Once dry, we recommend applying a light layer of natural beeswax to restore its suppleness.
Time sensitive orders/ Do you accept rush orders?
The fulfillment time depends on our current workload.
If your order is time-sensitive, please reach out to us at info@hushcrafts.com to discuss your needs. Kindly note that all orders are processed in the order they are received.
Express shipping only impacts delivery speed and does not affect your position in the production queue.
Can I customize a choker that is uniquely mine?

For materials, you can share your specific preferences with us. We will provide you with a curated selection of our premium leather options for your reference. Once the materials are selected, we will finalize the design together.

This commitment allows for effortless personalization. Simply add your measurements in the 'NECK/COLLAR SIZE' box, or send them to info@hushcrafts.com, and we’ll create something uniquely yours—at no additional cost.
How to take measurements & Choose the size?
Measuring your neck or any part of your body is simple and straight forward. Even if you don’t have a measuring tape, you can use a piece of string or a thin cord to get accurate measurements. For a
detailed guide on how to measure correctly, please see here.
Once you have your measurements, please enter the exact size in the 'NECK/COLLAR SIZE' box. There’s no need to adjust for looseness or tightness, as this may lead to incorrect sizing. For different styles, especially designer pieces, we will tailor the fit based on your measurements to ensure the best wearing experience.
