The Artisan Grade Difference - Exeter's Standard for Quality
We understand Exeter customers expect exceptional quality. That’s why each Picotin inspired bag undergoes rigorous craftsmanship:
Material Selection
We source only premium Italian leathers – Clemence for its soft drape, Taurillon for durability, and exotic skins from ethical suppliers. Each hide is hand-selected for grain consistency.
Construction
Traditional saddle-stitching techniques ensure longevity, with 8 stitches per inch – the same standard as luxury ateliers. Edges are painted by hand in 6-step process for flawless finish.
Hardware
Our hardware is cast from 316L surgical steel with thick gold or palladium plating that resists tarnishing. Each piece has satisfying heft and precise engraving.
Quality Control
Every bag undergoes our 23-point inspection before shipping from our Exeter distribution center, including weight measurement, stitch count, and hardware function tests.
Customer Care
Exeter customers receive priority support with 2-year craftsmanship warranty and complimentary leather care guide tailored to New England’s climate.
