FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Please see below for answers to common questions from customers
PERSONALISATION
How does personalisation work?
Choose your preferred initials, letters, numbers or icons on the product page before adding your item to your basket. Each piece is personalised by hand in our North East studio using traditional hot stamping.
How many characters can I add?
Complimentary personalisation includes up to 3 letters, numbers or icons in any combination, unless otherwise stated on the product page.
Is the live preview exactly how my finished product will look?
The live preview is a visual guide only and may not be an exact representation of the finished piece. As each item is personalised by hand, spacing, alignment and placement are carefully adjusted to create the best possible finish.
Can I change my personalisation after ordering?
Please check all details carefully before placing your order. If you spot a mistake, contact us as soon as possible. Once personalisation has begun, we may not be able to make changes.
Can I personalise an item with a full name?
Selected products may allow longer personalisation for an additional charge. Available options will be shown on the individual product page.
OUR PRODUCTS
What is Saffiano leather?
Saffiano leather is known for its distinctive crosshatch texture, durability and resistance to everyday scratches. We use genuine Saffiano leather across our premium collection.
Are all OROVA products genuine leather?
No. Our premium leather collection is crafted from genuine Saffiano leather, while selected products are made using premium vegan leather where this best suits the design. The material is clearly stated on each product page.
Are OROVA products designed in house?
Many of our core products are designed in house by OROVA’s founder, a product designer. Each detail is considered from shape and proportions to functionality and how the product works once personalised.
Why does OROVA use gold hardware?
The name OROVA was inspired by “oro”, the Italian word for gold. Gold hardware has become a signature part of the brand, giving our products a warmer and more distinctive finish in a category traditionally dominated by silver hardware.
Will genuine leather products all look identical?
As leather is a natural material, subtle differences in grain, texture and colour can occur between pieces. These variations are part of the character of genuine leather rather than a fault.
ORDERS & DELIVERY
How quickly will my order be dispatched?
Most personalised orders are completed and dispatched within 3 working days. Processing may take a little longer during busy periods such as Black Friday and Christmas.
What delivery options do you offer?
UK customers can choose between:
Royal Mail Tracked 48 — £3.50
Usually aims to arrive within 2–3 working days from dispatch.
Royal Mail Tracked 24 — £5.00
Usually aims to arrive on the next working day from dispatch.
These are delivery aims rather than guaranteed delivery times.
Can I track my order?
Yes. Once your order has been dispatched, you’ll receive a confirmation email containing your Royal Mail tracking information.
Do you offer local collection?
During selected events, including Newcastle Christmas Market, we may offer complimentary collection at checkout. Where available, your order can usually be collected the following day once you’ve received your Ready to Collect email.
I need my order for a specific date. What should I do?
We always recommend ordering as early as possible. If your order is time sensitive, choose Royal Mail Tracked 24 and allow enough time for personalisation before dispatch.
RETURNS
Can I return a personalised item?
As personalised products are made specifically for you, they cannot normally be returned or exchanged simply because you have changed your mind.
This does not affect your statutory rights if your item is faulty, damaged, not as described or has been personalised incorrectly by OROVA.
Can I return a non-personalised item?
Yes. If your item has not been personalised, you can notify us within 14 days of receiving your order that you wish to return it. The item should be unused and returned in its original condition.
What if OROVA makes a mistake with my personalisation?
If your finished personalisation differs from the details you submitted or approved, please contact us and we’ll work with you to put it right.
LIVE PERSONALISATION & EVENTS
Can I have my OROVA piece personalised while I wait?
Yes. At selected OROVA events, we offer live hot stamping so you can choose your personalisation and watch your piece being finished by hand. During busy times, we may ask you to return at a certain time whilst we hot stamp orders placed before your order.
What can I choose at an event?
Personalisation options vary depending on the event, but typically include a selection of letters, initials and icons in gold, silver, black foil or blind emboss.
Does OROVA offer brand activations?
Yes. OROVA can provide live personalisation for product launches, retail activations, press events, experiential campaigns and other brand experiences.
Do you offer private events?
Yes. Live personalisation can also be booked for selected private events and celebrations.
Do you offer weddings?
Yes. OROVA has a dedicated wedding service offering personalised gifting and live monogramming. Visit our Weddings page for more information.
GIFTING
Do your products come gift ready?
