Special Orders

Our products are not, for the most part, mass-produced. Most of them are not made until ordered and many of them take artisans weeks to complete. We are happy to special order items for you and will do so unless you let us know you have an earlier deadline. Contact Us if you need questions answered about our Special Order policy.

Returns for Exchange or Credit

We will happily accept returns on unused merchandise for up to 30 days after the date of purchase. Simply mail the merchandise to us with the original invoice and in the original box. All returns will be for exchange or store credit only, unless we made a big, bad mistake. Just let us know what you would like in exchange, whether you want your credit in the form of a gift card or store account.

Refunds

We do not accept returns for refunds unless we made a big, bad mistake. If we sent you a red tablecloth instead of a yellow one, for example, that’s our big, bad mistake. Or if you need it by Christmas and we shipped it after Christmas, that’s our big, bad mistake. Otherwise, we trust you will be able to accept an exchange for something of equal value.
