Last Updated: January 1, 2026

Please read these terms carefully before using our website or purchasing our products.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the St.David's Leather World website, purchases from our workshop, and participation in our Leather Academy. By accessing our website or purchasing our products, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity.

1. General Terms

By accessing or using the St.David's Leather World website (stdavidsshoes.com) and our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

We reserve the right to update, modify, or replace any part of these terms at any time without prior notice. Changes are effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of our website constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. St.David's Leather World is a Nigerian-based leather workshop operating from 28, Barikisu Iyede Street, Yaba, Lagos.

2. Products & Pricing

For custom orders, a 50% deposit is required, with the balance due upon completion. Order Confirmation: You will receive an order confirmation email immediately after placing your order. This is not an acceptance of your order — it is confirmation that we have received it.

4. Shipping & Delivery

• Shipping timelines are estimates, not guarantees. We are not liable for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs, or circumstances beyond our control. • Risk of loss and title for purchased items pass to you upon delivery to the shipping carrier for shipped orders, or upon pickup for workshop collections. • We ship to all Nigerian states. Currently, we do not ship internationally. • Workshop pickup is available at our Yaba location during business hours. • You are responsible for providing accurate shipping information.
