1. Do you sell to wholesale and retail?
We are Wholesalers, selling to retail outlets across the UK and Europe. To find out where your nearest stockist is, please contact us. From time to time we do have end of lines or discontinued stock which we may offer directly to the retail market as and when available. Current retail stock available is listed on the appropriate page on this website. Return to top

4. I really like your products, but can I see them before I buy them?
We have Agents across the UK who carry a comprehensive sample range which they would be happy to show you. If you contact us we can arrange this for you. Alternatively, if you are in an area not covered by an Agent, we can arrange to send you a sample. Return to top

5. Where do you deliver to and how much does it cost?
We now have customers across the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands as well as Europe and as far as Bermuda. For mainland UK our delivery cost is £10. For those customers outside the UK we will agree the cost prior to dispatch. For orders over £250, delivery is free of charge. Return to top

6. How long until I receive your products once I have made a purchase order?
Once in stock, orders are dispatched for delivery within 48 hours. On average our clients receive their orders the week they have placed them. Return to top

7. How much do your products cost? Do you have a price list?
Contact us when we will be happy to provide our Wholesale Price list to Trade customers. Return to top

8. Where are your products made?
Our products are from the tropical islands of Madagascar & Java and are crafted from natural materials. Because they are hand-made they are totally unique – no two products are ever the same. Return to top

9. How can I clean my bag?
Obviously because the bags are made from natural dyes and materials they are not suitable for the washing machine. But they can be sponged to remove marks. We recommend that for the lighter colours products are treated with a stain resistance spray before use. Return to top

10. How do I know that your products are manufactured without harming the environment?
Our products are made from only sustainable natural materials found locally in Madagascar & Java. The environment in which they are made meet the Fair Trade principles e.g. no endangered species are used or damaged, products are eco-friendly and there is no exploitation of people or children. Our supplier in Java harvests water hyacinth, a rogue plant not native to the Region and which clogs rivers, to use as a basic weave for our bags and linings. Also, some of our Madagascar suppliers have formed themselves into a co-operative for the making and trade of their products. Return to top

11. What is your policy on returns and refunds?
We aim to ensure our clients are 100% satisfied with our products. If that is not the case we would wish to have the opportunity to put the matter right quickly and fairly. However, we would say that because our products are made of natural fibres and dyes, if left in the sun for an extended period they may fade. Therefore we would not refund sun damaged goods. We do not normally provide for refunds. Return to top
