How can I contact you?
Please use our contact form to send us a message. Alternatively, please email us at [email protected] and we will get back to you as soon as possible. You can also call us on: 01628 783255

How do I wash the Handkerchiefs?
Easy!! All hankies can be washed by washing machine at 30 – 40 CL. You just need to be careful not to Iron directly on the print. You cannot bleach them or dry clean them as it will ruin the print.

How will I get my order?
All payments, whether credit or debit card, bank account or Paypal account funded, are processed by Paypal and payment is taken at the moment of order. We endeavour to send all orders out within 1-2 working days, so allow 1-3 working days total for delivery. Let us know if it's urgent!

All UK orders are sent via Royal Mail's FIRST CLASS delivery

Orders travelling outside of the UK are sent via standard air mail. They will not have a tracking number - if you would like this service, please add the Priority Mail upgrade to your cart before you check out. All international orders above £50 will be sent via International Signed For air mail. International Signed For will require a signature upon arrival.

PLEASE NOTE: All orders placed from the NETHERLANDS, regardless of value, will be sent via an insured service, due to consistent issues with the postal service. They will require a signature upon delivery.
Please be aware that delivery times will vary depending upon the country the item/s are going to and the time of year. An order is not considered lost until 1 month has passed.

Although every effort is made to make sure you receive your order on time, we are not responsible for delays caused by our delivery partners.

How long will it take for my purchase to arrive?
We do try to send out all purchases within 3 working days of an order being placed, but during busy times (such as the Christmas period) this may not always be possible, so do allow 7 working days in total.

If an item is really urgent, let us know!

Generally, orders shipping within the UK normally take 1 - 3 business days to arrive. Orders within western Europe 4 - 6 business days; further afield (including Eastern Europe, Asia, North and South America and Australia) average 8 - 10 business days but do allow extra time as packages can be held up in customs.
