FAQ's
Where are your products manufactured?
Everything sold on our website is handmade in the UK from vintage, repurposed or remnant fabrics. We sometimes do collaboration projects with other makers which will be clearly stated in the product description.
Are all of your products vegan friendly?
Due to the use of repurposed fabric, we cannot always confidently identify the fabric content of each piece. When listing pieces that may contain animal products (i.e. repurposed authentic saree pieces that are likely to contain elements of silk) we will note this in the description. Please do not hesitate to message us if you would like more information on this!
Do you use recycled/recyclable packaging?
All of our orders are shipped out in plastic-free packaging, complete with paper sealing tape! If you are comfortable with receiving recycled packaging (e.g. CLEAN packing boxes from supplies orders etc.) please note this in the check-out message section and we would be more than happy to use up some of our spare boxes. We are aware this is not for everyone and so this is an opt-in service only. By using the code USERECYCLED you also opt into this service.
What are your processing times?
We try to ship out your orders within 3-5 working days. Customised and Made-to-Order pieces may take longer due to the made-to-order nature, so we often ship these out a little later; our aim is within 7-14 working days. This tends to be shorter for smaller items (like scrunchie sets and bookmarks) and longer for bigger/more complex items (like totes and cushions).
Why do you have different shipping options?
Our cheapest option covers smaller, lighter items which is 2nd class and is not tracked. As all of our items are completely one of a kind, made from thrifted fabrics (of limited quantity) and hand crafted, it is often impossible to recreate items if they get lost in the post. Because of this we strongly recommend opting for “Signed For” or “Fully Tracked” shipping as while it is a little more expensive it gives a much more secure service and often at a much faster rate too.
Where is my order?
All of our orders are shipped with Royal Mail and any order posted via a "Tracked" or "Signed For" service will come with a tracking number - this gives an additional level of protection to all of your orders, particularly those which are one of a kind.
Smaller items have the option of a cheaper 2nd Class service too, but please note that this is not tracked and therefore at the discretion of the buyer.
The shipping process varies with location but we hope that all of our orders should arrive within the below timings:
UK: 1-3 working days
Europe: 5-14 working days
USA/Canada: 7-20 working days
Australia: 14-30 working days
Please note that orders may be delayed due to customs or outside factors beyond our control.
Do you cover customs & import taxes?
Unfortunately, customers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply.
Do you accept returns?
We do our best to make sure every item sent out is quality-checked and described clearly in detail on all our platforms. You are entitled to your rights according to the "distance selling" UK laws and if you are unsatisfied with your order please send us an email or DM and we will do our best to find a solution for you. For customised orders, returns are unfortunately not possible.
