We have the right not to accept an order for any given reason.
ITEM DESCRIPTION & REPRESENTATION
We display the colours and images of the items we sell as accurately as we can. However, we cannot guarantee that this is a true reflection of the item you will receive as it can look different on various screens and devices.
We recommend ordering from the same batch due to the natural variations that can arise when dying with natural materials, albeit please note that colour variations can still occur even when ordering from same batch. This is due to the unpredictable nature of dying with natural matter. You may also notice subtle nuances - marbling and pigmentation, especially with larger widths, again as a result of the natural dying process. Each of our ribbons are entirely unique and one of a kind.
Please allow for a small variation to the size ordered due to the handmade nature of the items. Measurements given are approximates. Please contact if you need exact lengths or widths.
PRICES
The prices are displayed on the site in GBP. The final purchase price will be calculated at checkout when you have entered your shipping location.
We always try to ensure that the prices shown are accurate. If on the rare occasion that there is an error, we will contact you straight away. Please note, we are under no obligation to offer you the item at the incorrect price and will give you the option to cancel and refund you in full if you would prefer not to pay the difference.
