Made to Order Production


All pieces are made-to-order. Production begins only after your order is confirmed and paid in full.
Because each piece is handcrafted, lead times are part of our process and reflect the care and artisanal work that goes into every item.

ated delivery windows (including production + transit):
Europe: 45–60 days

For orders outside the UK:
Customs duties, taxes, and import fees may apply.
These charges are the responsibility of the customer.
