Aside from the hundreds of five-star reviews we have on Google and Etsy, here's ten reasons why you can trust Pinegrove Leather...
1: 100% No-risk guarantee
We understand that buying something online carries a risk: You don't know what it's really like until you have it in your hands. So we offer a complete no-risk guarantee. If you don't absolutely love your Pinegrove product, send it back and we will even refund your return postage. (Contact us first if you are not in the UK.) You don't even need to give a reason.
We are happy to offer this guarantee, as 99.9% of our customers are over the moon with their new Pinegrove item.
2: A friendly & helpful personal service
Call or write if you need any advice before or after placing an order. We'll respond with a full and supportive answer within 24 hours, usually much sooner.
Rod is a musician too, so you can talk to him about issues such a bad shoulder from a heavy guitar, or banana-shaped harmonicas.
We don't use chatbots or AI. We prefer to give our customers proper, considered answers.
If your order looks like you've accidentally ordered more than you should have, we'll contact you.
3: Free customisation
Let us know if you need a longer strap, non-standard colours, or any other mod. We'll usually do it for free.
We charge for laser-engraved personalisation, but only because it's done by another company. We charge for that at cost.
4: Fast order turnround
If in stock, orders will be sent next working day. If we need to make it, we'll usually do it in less than 3 working days. Our products are hand-built, which is slow, but we don't waste any time.
5: Fast & reliable shipping service
We constantly check that our couriers are providing a reliable and timely service. This is a priority over cost, even if you don't pay for shipping.
6: Re-usable eco packaging
Pinegrove products come in a re-usable cotton bag. Great for storing equipment.
Most products are shipped in bio-degradable packaging.
Pinegrove products are tough, but we want them to arrive with you in perfect condition. We make sure to pack them for shipment so that they aren't damaged on their journey to you.
7: Free after-sales support, for the life of the product
Strap too long or too short? We'll help fix it for free.
Lost a belt loop 5 years after your bought the belt? We'll send another for free.
8: High quality materials & expert crafting
Finest quality leather & premium materials throughout, right down to the rivets.
We have very strict quality assurance. If we put one stitch-hole in the wrong place it can ruin the whole piece. We understand that Pinegrove products are destined to be treasured possessions, so we can't allow that. We just start from scratch again.
9: Hand-built in our own workshop
All Pinegrove products are made in our own small craft workshop in Church Stretton, Shropshire, England.
Designed by musicians for musicians.
No need to worry about factory worker exploitation, it's just partners Rod and Lou! You are welcome to visit, just give Rod a call on 07973 154888 to make sure we'll be in.
10: Value for money
There are plenty of cheap straps and cases around, but they do not compare in quality to Pinegrove. Meanwhile, other makers using leather as good as ours are way more expensive. We can offer fair prices as we have a modest lifestyle and enjoy the simple things in life, like good friends and good music.
Yours, Rod & Lou at the Pinegrove workshop.
