Frequently Asked Questions
This product is "Out of Stock". When will it restock?
We are a small operation and all of our product is small batch handmade. Volume and wholesale orders are made to order. We restock based off priority of restock requests we received from the Notify Me feature on our product page. This feature also sends you an alert the moment a product restocks.
What are "Upcycled Materials"?
Upcycling is the sustainable reuse of discarded materials in the creation of products of higher value, quality, or utility.
The materials we source for our up-cycled products are remnants recovered from cutting floors and bins slated for the landfill - due to being too small for their intended purpose, or deemed obsolete for their industry.
Most of the materials we use are NOS (new old stock). We also love incorporating used materials for their character, so long as they are are structurally sound.
Our Upcycled pieces are all small batch handmade in our studio, and individually unique. These materials may have vestiges of prior use but that’s all part of their story that continues to live on!
