    I have just received my iPhone genuine leather, hand stitched phone wallet. It is better than the photo, and exactly what I wanted. The stitching and general leather craftsmanship is outstanding. If this is how all D & M leatherwork is, on all products, then I can highly recommend their work. I definitely will shop here again!

    I am thrilled to recommend this company – their design and workmanship (in my case it was workwomanship), their customer service and code of conduct in making sure that I was completely satisfied with my agenda. The agenda I purchased turned out to be bigger than I’d expected. When I wrote to the company, they immediately offered to make me a new one to my specifications . . . and to just keep the larger one. They sent me the new, smaller one quickly and I am still stunned. They responded immediately to my questions. I measured my previous agenda, paper size, ring size. It is just right. It looks like I’ve had it and cared for lovingly for years. The leather is exquisite.
