Ruti Loyalty Rewards

We have 2 Loyalty Tiers: Gold and Diamond.

All customers enter Gold when they make an account with us on ruti.com, or shop online or in stores. You automatically earn 1 point for every dollar you spend at Ruti. 100 Points = $5 credit.

Warranty & Repairs

What is RUTI's warranty & repair policy for handbags & other leather accessories?

Subject to applicable conditions and exclusions, handbags and other leather accessories are protected from the original date of purchase by a 3 month limited warranty (proof of purchase is required). If the handbag or other leather accessory proves to be defective in material or workmanship under normal use anytime within the first three months from purchase date, we will offer to repair the defective item if possible. If you would like to exchange your item, please be aware that we can only replace it for the same product in the same size, subject to availability. You will receive store credit if the item cannot be repaired or replaced. Please note that items that are damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered to be defective. Leather goods may vary in color and texture; this is what makes each piece special and unique. After some time, the leather may become slightly darker in color due to contact with sunlight and natural oils from your skin. The patina that leather may acquire over time enhances the natural look of the item and is considered normal wear.

What is RUTI's warranty and repair policy for jewelry?

Subject to applicable conditions and exclusions, jewelry is protected from the original date of purchase by a 6 month limited warranty (proof of purchase is required). If the jewelry proves to be defective in material or workmanship under normal use anytime within the first three months from purchase date, we will offer to repair the defective item if possible. If you would like to exchange your item, please be aware that we can only replace it for the same product in the same size, subject to availability. You will receive store credit if the item cannot be repaired or replaced. Please note that items that are damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered to be defective. RUTI jewelry is made from high quality components that are subject to normal wear and tear over time. It is best to apply perfume and cosmetics prior to putting on your jewelry. To clean each piece of jewelry, wipe with a soft cloth. Keep your jewelry away from moisture as it accelerates tarnish. Do not expose leather to water. We recommend storing your jewelry in a clean, dry place.
