Inquiries, Illuminated

  • Each piece is curated in limited numbers, refined by artisan hands. Our hands to be precise.

  • Whilst we most certainly do not hang around, don’t expect anything in too much of a rush. Especially if it is made to order. We endeavour to produce our accessories as quickly as we can but our wood treatment process alone takes three full days. From the point of sale to dispatch, it is usually between 7-10 days.

  • Oh yes. In fact, this is what we love doing. Check out our reviews and social media to see some of the previous orders we have fulfilled. We work closely with our clients, conversing often to ensure personalised pieces truly reflect the requests down to the finest detail.

  • Our wood is often salvaged from the wild, reclamation yards and barn finds. Our metal coins are genuine decommissioned British coins (not freshly mined alternatives). Our leather is always sourced within the UK from British leather merchants.

  • Customised goods understandably can’t be returned unless they are faulty or damaged in transit. Non customised goods can be returned within 14 days of purchase.
