Pre-order notes

If your order contains a pre-order item, the whole order will be held and shipped together once the pre-order piece is ready.

If you would like in-stock items sent earlier, please place a separate order. Pre-order items will ship once they arrive from our makers.

Gift Wrapping and Eco-Friendly Packaging

Many of our pieces are thoughtfully packed in upcycled sari bags, some sewn by the women of Sewing the Seeds. Each unique bag includes an impact card that connects you to the woman who crafted it.

Our thank you cards are embedded with seeds from Australian farms - instead of being discarded, they can be planted, a small gift that grows long after your parcel arrives.

Please note: Our seeded thank you cards are available to our Australian customers only. Learn more about our packaging here.
