Final Sale & Non-Returnable Items

Some pieces are final sale due to their unique nature. Many of our handcrafted and natural products are beautifully imperfect, with variations that make each piece one of a kind. These variations are not considered faults. 

The following items cannot be returned, refunded or exchanged: 

• Artwork
• Rugs 
  
• Sofas 
  
• Soaps and candles 
  
• Custom orders 
  
• Clearance and sale items 
  
• Seconds, floor stock, repaired products, or items with disclosed defects
  
  

Faulty or Damaged Items

If your item has been damaged in transit, please contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order. If an item is faulty, we’ll assess the issue and find a solution, which may include a repair, replacement, store credit or refund. 

Custom & Pre-Orders 

Custom and pre-ordered items are made just for you and cannot be cancelled before delivery. Delivery timeframes are estimates and depend on supplier availability and schedules. Changes to the delivery date do not qualify an item for a refund. 

Gift Cards

Gift cards are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled once purchased. Orders paid for with a gift card can be exchanged or credited back to the original gift card. Please note gift cards cannot be used on discounted or outlet  products.
