Dispatch and Delivery
Every article, save for a belt, leaves us within 48 hours. A belt we hold only long enough to be sure of your size, reaching you by message, email or telephone; hearing nothing, we trust the size you chose and it too travels within 48 hours.
From our hands it passes into the care of the courier. Most orders find their way to homes across India within a week; now and then the roads run slower, and for that we ask only your patience. We write to you the moment your piece begins its journey, with the means to follow it to your door.
Beyond India
For delivery beyond India, write to us at info@jamesaston.in and we will arrange it personally.
For the one who backs their own judgement, and carries it well.
The Risk-Taker is for the one who backs themselves. Not the reckless, but the considered, the person who weighs it, decides, and makes the move while others are still thinking it over.
It is a slim canvas briefcase built to go where that person goes. The body is cotton canvas, light and hard wearing, worked with Spanish full grain pebbled leather at the points that take the most use, the trims, the handles and the base. The pullers are cut from Spanish full grain leather. The canvas softens and the leather darkens with use, so the bag comes to carry the marks of the days you spent making things happen. In khaki beige, it is warm, quiet and sure of itself.
Everything that fastens or carries has been considered. The shoulder strap is canvas and Spanish leather together, hung on imported metalware in a brushed nickel finish with snap hooks and D-rings. The zip is YKK, the lock is metalware in the same finish, and studs along the base lift the bag clear of the ground so the canvas stays clean. A James Aston plate sits on the front, and inside the bag is lined in the James Aston Jacquard.
Inside, it is arranged for real work. A laptop pocket takes a sixteen inch laptop, three card slots and a mobile holder sit where you reach for them, and two pen holders hold the one you actually use. A side pocket closes on a chain for the things you would rather keep secure.
A slim working bag made properly, in honest canvas and Spanish leather, and meant to be kept. Crafted once, and carried for a lifetime.
Lifetime Warranty against faults in materials and making.

Service & Care
Complimentary shipping across India. Each piece is dispatched in James Aston packaging.
Exchanges are accommodated within the stated period from delivery, with the piece unused and in its original condition.
The James Aston Lifetime Warranty covers any defect in material or craftsmanship, unconditionally and without expiry. A piece made once, to be carried for a lifetime.
Keep it away from prolonged damp and direct heat. Brush the canvas clean and wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth, feeding the leather occasionally with a neutral conditioner. Both canvas and leather will soften and settle with use, which is proper to honest materials.
