Where are Ylesan accessories made?
All Ylesan accessories are handcrafted in Italy by highly skilled artisans.
Are Ylesan accessories made of vegan leather?
We currently work with genuine vegetable-tanned leather across all Ylesan products. You can read our blog post to understand why we consider this the most sustainable choice for our brand.
What is REACH-certified leather?
The acronym "REACH" stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals. The EU REACH regulation is a comprehensive set of environmental rules designed to ensure the safety of chemicals used in manufacturing. Our leather fully complies with its extensive requirements.
How strong and rustproof is your stainless steel?
Our stainless steel has been rigorously tested in laboratories and is capable of withstanding forces of up to 60 kg (around 130 lbs). It is also one of the most rust-resistant steel materials and offers exceptional durability.
How resistant are Ylesan accessories for large, strong dogs?
Ylesan products have been carefully tested in laboratories to ensure strength and durability. However, we strongly advise connecting the leash exclusively to the D-ring attachments and never to the turnlock on the top of the harness. The turnlock is a closure mechanism and must not be used as a leash attachment point.
What size should I order for my pet?
Ylesan Sahara accessories are designed for dogs with larger builds. We recommend measuring your pet's neck circumference and adding half an inch (1.27 cm) to ensure a comfortable fit. Please follow the same guideline for harnesses, focusing on your pet's chest measurement. Refer to our product size charts for details.
How accurate are the colors of your products on Ylesan.com?
Each product is photographed with close attention to detail, and the colors shown are intended to accurately reflect the actual product. Slight variations may occur between screens due to different monitor settings and display calibrations.
My pet doesn't fit any of the available sizes — do you offer a personalized service?
We would be more than happy to arrange a custom fitting. Please contact us at info@ylesan.com to discuss your exact requirements. For other customization services, please refer to the Concierge page.
How can I use different leash lengths?
Please refer to the "The Leash" product page.
How do I attach my Ylesan accessory to my pet?
Please refer to the dedicated attachment guide on our website.
Can Ylesan harnesses be used without a leash?
Yes — each Ylesan accessory can be worn on its own.

Availability & Pre-Orders
What is the availability status of items on Ylesan.com?
All items available for sale on Ylesan.com are in stock, unless otherwise stated.
Why is there sometimes a delay before a product becomes available?
All our products are handmade by skilled artisans following strict quality standards. We mainly use leather, a natural and limited material selected under Ylesan's rigorous criteria. As a result, producing a Ylesan leather pet accessory can take several weeks before it is ready for sale.
How can I find out when an item is back in stock?
Click "Join the waitlist" below the sold-out product and enter your email address to receive a notification when it becomes available. You can also sign up for our newsletter or follow us @Ylesan.
What is a pre-order?
A pre-order lets you reserve products not yet available in stock but purchasable in advance online. We will email you once your pre-ordered item is ready. A shipping confirmation will be sent when your order is dispatched, and your payment will be processed at that time. The launch date is shown beneath the pre-order button on the product page.
When will my pre-order be charged?
Your card will be charged when the item becomes available and is ready for shipment. Payment is processed using the same card used for the order — it is not possible to switch to a different payment method.
When will my order be shipped?
You can check the estimated shipping date on the product page or in your order confirmation email. Orders are processed automatically, so the actual shipping date may vary.

Is my package insured?
Once your parcel has been delivered and accepted, responsibility for the Ylesan products transfers to you. You (or any third party you designate) should carefully check that the order is correct and in good condition at delivery. If there are issues, you may refuse the package or specific items. Please note the reason for refusal and any visible defects on the courier's delivery slip in as much detail as possible.
Do you ship to P.O. boxes?

Retailers & Wholesale

Please contact info@ylesan.com.
What is Ylesan's company policy on animal welfare?
As a young startup, Ylesan makes a strong effort to stay attentive to its corporate social responsibility. The vegetable-tanned leather used by Ylesan does not originate from farms but from tanneries that are regularly and strictly inspected. We also promise never to use fur or exotic animal skins such as crocodile, lizard, snake, or stingray in any of our collections. Synthetic leather alternatives have come a long way, but more research is still required on the long-term environmental effects of plastic-based faux leather and faux fur.
