Fantastic Company

I’ve been a customer for over a decade having bought numerous products from them and they never fail to surpass expectation in quality and customer service. Their 25 year guarantee is an added bonus; only had to use it once and they were fast and efficient in fixing the stitching.

The quality of the leather and the workmanship are excellent. To my delight the actual key hooks are very sturdy as this has proven to be a problem area in the past.
The product is beautiful.

Amazing product so far

Amazing product so far. One note of feedback, the clip that attaches the shoulder strap keeps catching on the side of the bag and is going to slowly destroy the edge of the bag. You can correct the problem by taking the extra care while putting the strap over your shoulder, however an upgraded clip with a lock feature would be the right long term solution. Thank you! Would love to know if my feedback was received.

Thank you for your review, Jordan. We really appreciate all kinds of feedback, as it helps us improve and grow as a business. On this occasion, we would suggest making sure the clips are facing outwards when attaching the strap to the bag, this way, you should not have an issue with them catching on the bag. If you are not sure, please contact our customer services team and we will be able to assist further. Charlotte Forshaw - Customer Services Mgr

Love my Centolla…

I absolutely love my Centolla in Chestnut Tan. The leather and craftsmanship are of the highest quality. And the company, Maxwell-Scott are a delight to deal with. There was a minor delay in delivery, which was not remotely a problem, but Sam was quick to reassure of the revised delivery date. All in all, delighted with my purchase.
