Oh no. The item I wanted says “out of stock” Will it ever be restocked?
As most of our products are handmade in limited quantities, we do run out of stock very quickly. However, we are able to restock some items. Please contact us if you require an item which is currently out of stock
I want to order an item, but it says delivery can take up to 3 weeks! Why is this?
We stock some very unique handmade pieces, some of which can take up to 120 hours to produce. We do try to anticipate demand for products, but in some cases we sell out before we are able to restock. We give an estimated dispatch date of up to 3 weeks, but aim to deliver much sooner than that. If you would like a more precise timeline for the dispatch of a particular product, please do contact us
