Frequently Asked Questions
Orders and Shipping
We provide free UPS/DHL Worldwide Express Delivery to most countries, including the EU, UK, Singapore, Canada, and Australia. If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible for free shipping, you can check during checkout for confirmation.
Please note that in some regions, you may still be responsible for any applicable duty and tariff charges upon the arrival of your package.
Average delivery times with DHL/UPS Express are 3 to 7 working days. We will keep you informed of your package's status through email notifications once it has been dispatched. However, please note that actual delivery times may vary due to factors such as weather conditions, customs clearance procedures, and the distance of addresses from airports. For specific transit times for each country, please refer to the DHL/UPS website.
In the event of a late delivery, AUPEN will do all it can to get your package delivered to you as quickly as possible. However, we cannot accept responsibility or offer refunds for delays in shipments that are the result of delays that are the fault of our couriers (DHL & UPS) or a result of customs clearance delays.

Product Information
All of our bags are made from high-quality calfksin leather.
At AUPEN, we use calfskin leather, an organic and delicate material that improves with age.
Calfskin leather showcases natural features like wrinkles, veins, and pores. These characteristics are not imperfections, but rather indicators of the calf leather's quality and transparency, underscoring its durability.
Product Care
Calf leather is sensitive to environmental factors. It should be protected from water, extreme heat, direct sunlight, and high or low humidity, as these can alter its appearance and color. If your AUPEN creation is in contact with water, gently wipe it with a soft cloth to prevent stains or bubbles from forming as it dries.
Substances like ink, lipstick, or fragrances can leave permanent marks. Additionally, repeated contact with raw or dark-colored fabrics can discolor lighter calf leather. To maintain the shape of your item, avoid overfilling it or inserting bulky, unsuitable contents.
To maintain its sheen, your AUPEN creation needs periods of rest.
When not in use, we recommend storing it in a warm, dry place away from light, preferably in its box or protective cover.
