Frequently asked questions
What are your services?
I am a one-woman business. I make handmade bags, coin purses and bowties inspired by food. If you want to get a better view on how I make my bags please follow me on Instagram and watch my stories: @ROMMYDEBOMMY or my TikTok: @ROMMYDEBOMMY
Can I pay in my own currency?
On my webshop the currency is in EUROS, when you make the payment for the product it will automatically change in your own currency. If you want to check beforehand how much it is gonna cost check out this currency website: https://www.xe.com
*Please be aware of that in most European countries, a comma is used to separate the integral part of a number from decimal part. This means, for example, that three hundred euros and ten cents is written as 300,10- with comma as a decimal marker. €365 is $477
Which countries do you ship to?
I ship worldwide, that means every country in the whole wide world.
How long does the shipment take?
Depends where you live:
Europe: 2 – 3 days
Outside Europe: 4 – 30 days.
Are your bags functional?
I wouldn’t call it a bag if it wasn’t a bag. They are definitely functional, it depends on which bag (you can find this information in the details of the product). Most of my bags have space inside for a phone, keys, small card wallet and some make-up. Please be aware that the coin purses don’t have enough space for a phone.
Are the bags durable?
Yes they are! Every single piece is handmade, which means you should be really careful with it. If you drop it on the ground it will be definitely ok, but don’t let your dog play with it. Just make sure to love and care for the bag, then it can be forever! Here are some tips to take care of your wearable art:
– Try to keep away from too much from extremely hot temperatures;
– Please do not wear them on extremely rainy days;
– Keep away from children, pets and hungry people;
– Do not put heavy stuff inside;
– Hang it on the wall or if you only want to wear it as a bag you can put it in a dust bag;
– For cleaning please only use a cloth or damp cloth.
What material do you use?
I work with different sorts of clay that I mix myself and little bit of magic…
Are you bags heavy?
No, they are super light weight. The chain what is hanging on the bag is normally heavier than the bag itself.
How long does the processing take?
Depends on which one, because I have limited editions available who are already made and ready to ship within a week. For custom made and not limited edition purses the processing time can take between 2 – 4 months.
Do you make custom made orders?
Yes I do! Here you can fill in your custom made order: https://rommydebommy.com/contact/
Why are your purses so expensive?
It is a one-woman business, it takes weeks to create these wearable art pieces. All my purses are handmade, every single detail is handmade.
Do you have a discount code?
No, I don’t work with discount codes. Please don’t ask me about any discounts because this will break my heart. My products are too exclusive to sell for less.

Because of the the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst) I need to document all of incoming orders. My accountant ensures that I pay the correct amount of taxes.
