We take pride in offering unique, handcrafted items that are truly one-of-a-kind. Our
products are not mass-produced; instead, they are carefully handmade by skilled
artisans across Africa and the East. This means that each piece has its own distinctive
character and may exhibit slight variations in shade, size, and color.
Because our items are individually crafted, no two pieces are exactly alike. These subtle
differences contribute to the charm and appeal of each product, making them perfectly
imperfect. It's important to embrace the inherent beauty of handcrafted goods, knowing
that they showcase the artistry and craftsmanship of the artisans who create them.
We strive to provide accurate product descriptions and high-quality images on our
website, but please keep in mind that the unique nature of handcrafted items means there may be slight variations from what you see online. We believe these differences
enhance the authenticity and value of our products.
If you have any specific questions about a particular item or would like more
information about its handmade nature, feel free to contact our customer support team.
We'll be delighted to provide you with further details and assist you in selecting the
perfect handcrafted piece for your needs.
Yes, there is a distinction between lead time and delivery time. Understanding this
difference can help manage your expectations regarding the arrival of your order.
Lead time refers to the estimated amount of time it takes for us to bring in the piece
and prepare it for shipment. Since many of our items are custom made and imported,
there can be occasional delays beyond our control. Lead times are provided as
guidelines to give you an approximate idea of how long it may take for the item to be
ready for dispatch.
Delivery time refers to the time it takes for the courier to transport your package from
our warehouse to your designated delivery address. Courier times are based on
standard shipping services and can vary depending on your location. Please note that
delivery times are subject to factors such as customs clearance processes (for
international shipments), weather conditions, and other unforeseen circumstances.
We have established lead times to manage customer expectations regarding delivery.
While we make every effort to adhere to the provided lead time, please understand that
occasional delays may occur, especially for custom-made and imported items. We
appreciate your patience and understanding in such cases.
For specific information about lead times and estimated delivery times for your order,
please refer to the product description or contact our customer support team. We will
be happy to provide you with the most accurate information regarding the anticipated
arrival of your purchase.
