Atelier Lead Time & Delivery
Production is carried out by independent artisans whose work we retail.
The artisan is responsible for production timelines and workmanship; quoted lead times are estimates and may vary with workshop capacity, hand processes, and materials.
Natural variations are inherent to handcrafted pieces and are not defects.
We provide coordination, updates, and quality review, and remain your primary point of contact for service and after-care, subject to applicable consumer law.
Upon your order, the item enters artisan workshop schedule. Hand-cut, stitched, craft and softly pressed, it requires 14-30 business days. We then dispatch by Express courier — typically 1–3 days within the EU and 3–5 days worldwide. Custom lengths may add +2–3 business days.
Your order enters an artisan schedule. At times, the atelier itself dispatches the parcel; in those instances, the artisan is the responsible shipper, and we steward the process—coordinating updates, providing tracking, and advocating with the carrier until delivery.
