DAMAGED ITEMS

As a part of our service, we pay great attention to handling each piece with care.

Our products are checked, photographed and carefully hand packaged before they are handed over so it is extremely unlikely any pieces will ever leave us damaged - however, occasionally the delivery service will handle a package roughly and the contents may become damaged in transit. 

In this case, we will happily replace the item for you and cover the re-delivery costs ourselves. 

We will not refund or exchange damaged items, we only replace them with the same item (like for like).

Any item displaying damage that is deemed to be a direct result of fair wear or accidental damage will not be accepted as faulty.

We cannot accept any responsibility for any variations in the products due to the device you are viewing the photo or video from. Every effort is made the represent our products accurately but due to their handmade nature and natural qualities of the materials used, some variations in the colour or shape can occur. These variations are not considered a fault and will not be accepted as damage. 

If you believe your products are damaged please notify us immediately upon receipt and include evidence of any damaged packaging.

 

REFUNDS

 

We will happily provide a refund to you within 14 days once the item(s) have reached us safely. We will notify you by email once a return has been received. 

We will refund any money received from you using the same method originally used to pay for your purchase, we do not hold any bank details used for the purchase, and refunds will be handled securely by our third-party provider - we can only refund the original purchaser by the original method without exception.
