PRODUCTS
I sell both new and used items. New products are always new - not pre-owned, refurbished, or re-manufactured. Items that are refurbished or re-manufactured, will be marked as being USED, REFURB, etc. - not NEW.
PRICING
I purchase new products, in quantities and special offerings, from reputable U.S. suppliers and sell them at competitive prices. Since I don’t buy and sell in large volume, retail prices for identical products may decrease, or increase from time to time, based on actual purchase costs.

USE OF EXOTIC LEATHERS
You may wonder if it’s legal and ethical to use exotic animal hides, (zebra, leopard, giraffe, alligator, etc.), for making leather goods.
It’s an excellent question.
The answer depends upon several factors including, the species, gender, origin, and end use. Generally speaking, it is lawful to use exotic leather in the making of consumer goods, provided the hides are not obtained by unlawful means, such as poaching or other illegal harvesting methods. They must also be used in compliance with standards and agreements established by worldwide oversight organizations, such as CITES .
Exotic leather used by Goat’s Gruff Leather Studio is purchased from reputable sources, licensed to deal in such products and who provide valid documentation. In most cases, these hides come from established animal preserves, sanctuaries, and zoos throughout the world. When an animal dies of natural causes, or is lawfully culled, the money received from selling the remains (to ethical tanneries) is used to further the efforts of wildlife preservation.
It's our feeling that, not only is it ethical to tastefully display the beauty of these hides, it also honors the animals from which they came.
