Our Commitment to Authenticity & Craftsmanship

At Ebazar, we believe in the beauty of traditional leatherwork and the story behind every piece we create. This statement outlines our dedication to authenticity, transparency, and artisanal craftsmanship.

🖼️ Image & Visual Content Policy

Product Photography

  • Every product photo in our shop features genuine, handcrafted items made in our workshop
  • We photograph our leather goods under natural lighting to accurately show:
    • True leather colors and variations
    • Natural grain patterns and textures
    • Actual stitching details
    • Real patina and finish
  • No filters or enhancements are used that might misrepresent the product’s appearance
  • Multiple angles and detailed shots help you make informed decisions

Blog & Educational Content

  • We believe in being transparent! That’s why we label all AI-generated images in our blog posts with “For illustration only: Image Created with AI.” These creative AI illustrations help us explain concepts better in our articles. But don’t worry – when it comes to our products, we only use real photographs. You’ll never see AI-generated images in our product listings.
  • We use AI-generated images (always labeled “For illustration only: Image Created with AI“) in our blog posts to:
    • Visualize historical leatherworking techniques
    • Demonstrate complex craft concepts
    • Illustrate step-by-step tutorials
    • Show theoretical concepts and ideas
  • These AI illustrations never appear in product listings or shopping sections
  • Each AI image is clearly labeled and linked to this policy
