Are all products unique?
All products are individually hand-crafted and it is common with anything handcrafted that each product has its own characteristics that make each item unique. Factors that may vary very slightly are stitch patterns, stitch consistency, colour batch dye codes, length of cord, and so on. We do our very best to ensure each product meets our strict quality control process so that only the very best are available for purchase.
How do I care and maintain my Lighting Product?
All products are designed to last a lifetime but they will need a little care and attention from time to time to ensure they can be enjoyed for years to come.
- Our products are designed for regular indoor use only;
- Vacuum on a regular basis to remove dirt and dust from the room to avoid it settling onto the product;
- Use a lint remover regularly to remove dust from the outer surface of fabric products;
- Any spills or stains should be treated immediately with a warm damp cloth or Fabric Refresher;
- Globe bulbs will occasionally need to be replaced. We will usually have stock of all of our globes (unless on back order or discontinued). Please email us to purchase a replacement.
Where do I position my Lighting Product?
Careful consideration for the location of your products is essential to keeping them looking their best and for longer. Avoid extreme exposure to sunlight, fluctuating temperatures, moisture, and humidity which can all affect the longevity of your products. Our products are designed for normal domestic use and should be well maintained to ensure they last.
What are the Safety Precautions, are there any?
Our products are made with specially selected materials to make it safe for use.
- DO NOT attempt to reproduce, modify or attempt to repair yourself;
- (LUNA LANA) Use ONLY with our supplied bulbs and specialty LED bulb;
- Before changing the bulb, ensure that electricity supply is switched off or disconnected.
Globe Light Bulbs
We have a range of bulbs including eco-friendly globes as well as the new LED low-energy consumption range. All lights will be supplied with bulbs, however if you wish to upgrade to more advanced low-energy consumption LED bulb substitutes, these are available upon request at additional cost.
Pick up / Collection
You will receive a call when your items are ready and available for collection from our Studio. Please note all orders can be collected from our Studio only from Monday to Friday between 10 am to 5 pm. Collections may be accepted outside of these times and on weekends but only subject to prior arrangement and at least 3 days in advance.
Delivery/Freight
To organise freight we require an exact order and delivery address. Please ensure that there will be someone available to receive and sign for the goods. Freight charges are dependent on the quantity, weight, and size of boxes, and finally the distance to travel. Deliveries cannot be made to P.O. Box addresses. The exact delivery times are dependent on the freight company and customs etc. therefore cannot be guaranteed. However, we will do our very best to ensure you will receive your product within a specified date period.
