We hope that you love your purchase but in the case of damage or the item not meeting your expectation, each of the companies/artisans have their own returns policy. Please check in the description of the individual item or below.

Also please read the item descriptions carefully – they carry many works by small artisans and the handmade origins often lend to small imperfections that are part and parcel of the collections herein.
