Return and repair

Every piece is handcrafted from natural fibres using traditional techniques, so each one is unique. Here is how we look after you, and your piece, after it leaves our studio.

Repair warranty

We repair eligible pieces for 1 year from the date of purchase.

Covered

Damage that happened during shipping, and structural failures from normal wear and tear when the piece has been properly cared for.

Not covered

Damage from mishandling, improper storage such as exposure to sun or moisture, or accidental tearing of the fibres.

Accidental damage

If your piece is accidentally damaged, we may be able to repair it or replace parts for a small fee plus shipping and handling, as long as the natural materials it needs are in stock.

To help avoid damage, follow our use and care guide.
