AFTER THE ITEM HAS BEEN DISPATCHED :

Please choose carefully as refunds are not provided where you have simply changed your mind, made a wrong selection or simply found the goods cheaper elsewhere. We recommend you carefully preview any orders before adding them to your shopping cart and proceeding with your order.  We are here to answer as many questions as you like to assist with your decision.


Colours shown on the website are indicative only. Please ensure you review the item’s details online and if you require a swatch/sample, contact us - we do carry samples of most fabrics in our range.
