How do I care for the items I purchase?
Care instructions are included in each listing. For most floor props, simply dust them as you would any other decorations in your studio. For real wool items, we recommend spot cleaning, and for fabrics, washing them with a mild detergent is advisable.

Our products are crafted specifically for use as photography props, and we do not recommend using them as toys for babies. They should be used under adult supervision solely as photography props. We strongly advise keeping the safety of your baby in mind and having an assistant present can be beneficial.

We don't add any extra charges to the shipping cost; it reflects the courier's rate for your parcel. However, please note that customs fees or costs may be added at the border of your country if you are outside the European Union. The determination of these fees is at the discretion of customs and is the responsibility of the buyer.
Do I need an account to make a purchase?
No, you don't need an account in our shop to make a purchase, though it can be advantageous. Creating an account provides you with easy access to your purchase history, and notifications, and, should you decide to return in the future, you won't need to re-enter your details.
Product Availability:
Is the item currently in stock?
If you see the item in our shop, it means it's available for purchase. Since we handmake many of our props, they are crafted especially for you once your order is placed. During quieter seasons, we strive to stock our warehouse with our products. Additionally, when someone orders, for example, one wooden number, we aim to make two to have one ready for the next shipment.
For these reasons, we can't provide an exact inventory of in-stock items versus those made to order. However, if you're in a hurry and would like to know if we have something ready to ship (RTS), feel free to contact us and inquire about specific items or a list of items.
We do our best to prepare your orders promptly. As manufacturers, we require 1-5 business days to prepare your props. Working diligently, we aim to minimize your waiting time. We understand the importance of a quick turnaround for your props :)

Additionally, we contribute to sustainability by repurposing preused cardboard for parcel filling.
