Your order will be carefully packed and sent with tracking & insurance, we despatch most orders within 2-3 days but larger items and orders placed before the weekend can take an extra day or two to process.

We accept returns, please notify us within 14 days and ensure the item arrives back with us no later than 30 days after the order was received.

EU Customers – for orders under €150 (excluding shipping), VAT will be collected at checkout, but from 1st July 2026, due to new EU import regulations, there may also be a customs duty payable to the carrier.

Any applicable fees will appear at checkout.

HELP SECTION

Chainset Type - the number of chainrings the derailleur was designed to work with. ‘Double’ derailleurs are actually capable of working on ‘triple’ chainsets but they may struggle when shifting, especially if there’s a big step down from the middle to inner ring, so it’s better to match these correctly.

Frame Fixing - the way the derailleur fixes to the frame, if you have a tab on your frame to mount the derailleur to you need braze-on. If there’s no tab then you require a clamp-on type (also referred to as band-on or clip-on), these come in different sizes to match the diameter of your seat tube.

Pull Type - the direction of which the cable needs to ‘pull’ the mech in order to shift. If your cable runs up to the derailleur from the bottom bracket area then you need bottom pull, if your cable comes down from above you need top pull. Some later derailleurs can be used for either setups, these are referred to as dual pull.

Designated Speed (9 Speed & Above) - the speed of the chain that the mech was designed to be used with. This only becomes relevant for mechs marketed as 9 speed or above when chains became narrower, as the derailleur cage plates became marginally narrower too. We refer to it as ‘designated’ speed as technically you can use (almost) any derailleur with any chain, however if you want optimum performance it’s best to stay close to the manufacturers recommendations.

Indexing System (Shimano Only) - this is only applicable when using Shimano shifters that have an indexed left shifter such as STI or Rapidfire. For the indexing to work correctly when using these shifters the derailleur and shifters must be of the same type, so Shimano drop bar shifters need to be matched with a Shimano ‘road’ derailleur, and Shimano flat bar shifters must be used with Shimano ‘MTB’ derailleurs.

Works great for me
Color: 06 - Black
I love the size of this purse. Not too big but big enough to hold what I need. The compartment for credits cards and drivers license works better than carrying a wallet. I'm really happy I purchased this. Works better than any designer bag and for a lots less money.

Color: 06 - Black
this purse is small but super cute for everyday use, it has card slots on the inside so no need for a wallet, it is a tight shoulder bag and sits up higher by my armpit. it feels sturdy and not flimsy. good thick material as well. overall i definitely recommend if you need a small shoulder bag for everyday use!

Nice purse
Color: 06 - Black
This is a great little purse. Great size, sturdy. Love the guitar and smaller strap. The only thing I am a little annoyed with is that there is a big pocket on the inside (opposite of the card holder pocket) that sticks out too much and you have to push it back each time to get to the stuff in the middle compartment. Otherwise, it's cute.

This small purse can carry a lot
Color: 05 - Wine Red, Color: 05 - Wine Red
This small purse is not only very versitle but is holds a lot. It comes with two straps - one that can easily make the bag become a cross body and the other for hand/wrist holding. Both of these straps have the "fancy" metal loop attachments - i.e. just push the loop where you need it to go, and it will open, press to get "over" the connection and then the loop will close -you may wish to magnify one or some of my pictures to get a closer look at what I mean. The purse has a seperate front pocket for your phone or other item; with a magnitized clasp. There is also a zippered flat pocket on the other side of the purse for other items. The inside of the purse iteself has 8 slots for cards/ids - again you may wish to magnify my pictures to see this. Behind the flap for the cards, there is a pocket/section, which mirrors the other pocket section on the other side of the purse - plus you have the main area of the purse. You can even just make this a purse a clutch but not attaching either of the straps. Making this purse able to hold a lot and very versitile to adapt to/compliment any outfit.
