Variations In Items
Please understand that skilled artisans handcraft the majority of our products and there may be subtle variations between similar items. This may be a slight size difference, colour variation or embroidered pattern difference. We will always try to point out in the product descriptions if these variations are likely for a particular product. We will also regularly change the displayed photos of items if there is a need to portray a change in the stock that we have on hand. These variations are to be valued and make an item unique. We value the fact that we can purchase these items and make them available to you here in Australia in a retail environment.

Packaging – our promise for people and planet
The problems of rubbish disposal and mountains of plastic are a severe environmental problem in the countries of many of our suppliers. We support our suppliers in their efforts to use environmentally friendly packing materials and we will reuse packaging whenever we can. If there are any plastics in the packaging they will be from the original packaging we received.
We are concerned for our planet and the threat of global climate change, so we do our bit by sending out parcels in compostable plant-based satchels where possible, use plant-based tape and labels to do our bit to reduce waste.
