On the Beauty of Imperfections

Handmade product(s) you receive may vary slightly from the product picture due to the nature of the product(s) being handmade:

​

Please understand that handmade items, by nature, have imperfections. There will be inconsistencies based on the creative nature and each item will look a little different from the next.

​

These handmade items are studio-produced by craftsmen, artisans, designers, or skilled workers with artistry and care. The natural and unique differences are part of the beauty.

​

Items of the same style and design will be similar but not identical.

​

Ceramics: Small hair line cracks and blemishes developed in the glaze are natural to the firing process and do not affect the function of the item.

​

Hand dyed fabric: Even if the fabric is from the same dye lot, the unique patterning of colours will always make each item beautifully different.

​

Hand blown glass: Pontil marks where the artisan removes the working rod, minor bubbling and naturally occurring variations are all part of the craft.

​

Timber: Wood characteristics naturally occurring such as variations in colour, grain, mineral streaks, pinholes and knots are not considered defects.
