Information provided by various external sources

Scaramanga was founded in June 2006 by Carl Morenikeji when he came across on old iconic vintage leather satchel whilst travelling in India. Inspired by the style and quality, he sought out artisans who would use the traditional methods and tools to recreate modern leather satchels. Additionally, he started sourcing vintage furniture and thus Scaramanga became what it is today; a lifestyle brand handcrafting classic leather bags and supplying unique vintage furniture. Although only a small team, Scaramanga currently have 2 large warehouses and a store open to the public in Fife, which you are welcome to visit at any time. Although only a small team we are all passionate about our products and were delighted to receive the Retail Business of the Year award in 2013.

Other companies should copy this customer experience

What a wonderful customer experience dealing with Scaramanga. As we move into a Post Pandemic world more and more companies are using it as an excuse for poor customer experience. NOT Scaramanga, brilliant from order to receiving the product. The attention to detail is simply impeccable, all the way down to a personal experience with who packed my items. Well done I wish other companies mirrored your business.

The shop is a dreadful mess

The shop is a dreadful mess. It looks okay at the onset but if they stock several of one type of product, then you can’t choose a specific item. I like to know exactly what product I’m buying but in this case, it’s basically a lucky dip. I bought two brick moulds and they were ok, with a bit of a funny touch in that the text at the bottom was matched with a name that appears on my payment. However I would have preferred Indian letters. I also got three chunky wooden photo frames because I was quite desperate for a specific rustic type that’s hard to come by, and basically took a chance without any idea of what I was going to get. All I knew was, they were ‘brown’. The result was ok as they are dark varnished ones, but there are paint marks and features I’m not so keen on. However the real disappointment was the lassi cup. They tell you to indicate which one you want but don’t tell you how. There are no numbers and there are several photos of all the cups they supposedly have in stock so you don’t know which line up they are talking about and how to indicate it. It made me feel really nervous. Since there are several different line ups apparently I chose the wrong one because I didn’t get the cup I asked for (in the comment section I found at check out). I had to go through the hassle of sending them screenshots and returning the cup (and paying for the collection, 30p, well it didn’t break the bank but it was annoying). They reassured me they would send the right cup once they received the return. Go figure when it had finally reached them they told me the correct cup had already been sold - even before I ordered! They didn’t offer an alternative and just refunded me. I know it’s just a lassi cup but I feel really upset by the experience and doubt I’ll buy from them again.

Thank you for your review Evily, I'm very sorry that you were unhappy with your purchase.
As the vast majority of our items are vintage and completely unique, when items have multiple stock (like our brick moulds and photo frames) no two are the same. We feel this adds to the authenticity and uniqueness of our stock. If a customer requests a specific style or colour, we will endeavour to do our best to provide this from our current stock, sometimes even sending images to ensure we get it right for them. If a customer doesn't ask for anything specific, we carefully pick from our stock as a whole.
When it comes to your lassi cup I completely apologise for you not receiving the one you requested, this was an oversight on our part. I have discussed it with our team; it does look like there was some confusion over the images online, and we didn't realise the one you had requested was out of stock until your return was on its way to us. I will ensure we improve our process with choosing lassi cups for customers so this does not happen again. As Kelly explained, we do cover the returns label but do not cover if you choose to have the return collected instead of taking your return to the post office.
I sincerely apologise for all inconvenience caused, please just let me know via email at sales@scaramangashop.co.uk if there is anything else I can do to help.

Kind regards,
Georgia Porteous
Operations Manager

The Holey Fire Bowl

Purchased a small Kadai Fire Bowl, expected dents, rust and repairs as part of it's character, but did not expect holes. The slightest pressure and you could easily push your finger through an area of thin metal where you can actually see through the perforations, not a good idea to have burning embers falling through your Fire Bowl. Scaramanga's solution; they would like me to pay £12 to return the product and a further £12 to send a replacement. I don't think so!

I'm just delighted with this unique

I'm just delighted with this unique box/drawer. I'll be using it as a pencil box on my craft table after I've finished admiring it, opening and peering into the compartments, and wondering about who might have owned it back in history and what they might have stored in it. It came really well packed - usual brilliant service from Scaramanga.

Great service and quality of items

I have recently bought a number of items from scaramanga. The team have been really supportive with any questions and with help around delivery. The vintage garden furniture is fantastic and the indian shelf absolutely stunning. I have no doubt I will be buying from scaramanga again.

Poor delivery

Ordered my goods first week of July and still have not heard from the courier re delivery.
I realise that the company is based in Fife but logistics and delivery should not be a problem.
Quite disappointed in the service.

Horse heads

I am highly impressed with the 2 wooden Marwari horse heads I received very quickly from Scaramanga. They were on sale so I got them at a bargain price! I have seen these horse heads in a shop in London at double the cost! We have fixed the heads onto the wall either side of the fireplace and all of our family and friends have remarked on how stylish they look!

Good customer service, lovely products

Had a problem with my original order when it was not the listed size, but they were great and sorted it out promptly, covering the cost of pick-up and sending a replacement promptly. I bought one of the old wooden chests - it is beautiful.

15 inch laptop bag

Just had my latest purchase arrive....a beautiful laptop bag. I ordered it and noted there were two potential colours. I liked the darker one in the photo, but would have settled for the lighter one. Sure enough the darker one came and its beautiful. Enough pockets and spaces for work. Great interior inside. These bags are extremely well made and great value for money

Fantastic delivery as always!! Note to self, I may need to stop going on the site now as the only thing I dont have is a suit bag!! (Please dont tell me you make those!)

Fully recommended!!!

All the best.

Dog collar

Bought a dogs collar for my dog looks lovely but unfortunately it was opening all the time so not really viable. Had to buy a different brand.
