For other countries, import duties or taxes may apply depending on the destination.

Returns & exchanges

Can I return an item?

Yes, within 30 days. Return postage is at your expense — unless the product is defective or not as ordered, in which case it is entirely on us. The item must be unworn and in its original packaging.

Can I exchange it for another colour?

Yes. Write to us with your order number.

The product

What are the bags made of?

Our translucent bags are made of translucent jelly-effect TPU: supple, light, water-resistant and easy to clean. Our opaque bags are in cowhide leather (Le Firkin, Le Prestigieux) or in PU, with no leather (Le Firkin PU, Héritage).

Is the bag completely transparent?

It is translucent: it hints without revealing everything. For anything that should stay private, slip in a pouch.

How do I care for it?

A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough. Air-dry away from direct heat. See our Care page.

Do the charms fit every model?

Yes. They clip onto the handle or the clasp of any bag in the collection.

What is the difference between the Jelly Firkin and the Mini?

Same line, two sizes: the Jelly Firkin is the signature model, carried on the arm or in the hand; the Mini is its compact version, for the essentials.

Where can I see or try a Jelly Firkin in person?

La Firkin sells online only, through its official store lafirkin.com: there is no physical shop, in Switzerland, France or Belgium. You have 30 days after receipt to change your mind (return postage at your expense).

Payment

Which payment methods do you accept?

Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal. Secure payment.

To Canada, shipping is free from EUR 60 (CHF 27 below that). To Norway, Asia, the Middle East, Oceania and Latin America, a CHF 27 contribution is added, shown before payment. For far-away destinations (Canada, Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, Latin America), customs duties are paid; for Norway, import duties or taxes may apply depending on the destination.
