Frequently Asked Questions
Transparency is one of our core values, this includes transparent pricing.
Compared to retailers margin of 5-7x the production costs, we only work with a multiple of 2-3 to cover our internal costs. This gives us the chance to offer you a very high quality bag that is produced in Italy under fair working conditions. If you want to know more about it, make sure to discover our transparent pricing page.
If you plan to store your CENTRAL bag for a longer time, consider filling it with a pillow or blanket to help maintain its shape.
To protect it further, avoid direct sunlight by placing your CENTRAL in our dust bag, ensuring the handles stand upright, even if they extend outside the dust bag. Store it on a shelf in a low-light environment to prevent any marks from forming over time.
Lastly, it's best to keep the clutch inside the CENTRAL bag while in storage.
