Frequently asked questions

What is your return policy?

You have 30 days from delivery to ask for a return. Email us first at ccanarian@gmail.com and we will send the return details. If something arrives damaged, faulty or wrong, send us a few photos and we will make it right at our cost.
Can I ask about a piece before I buy?

Of course. Message or call us on WhatsApp at +374 41 777 882, or email ccanarian@gmail.com. We are happy to send more photos and help you choose the right size.
When will I get my order?

Every piece is handmade, so we prepare and send each order within 1 to 2 weeks. Delivery then takes about 3 to 7 business days to Europe, 4 to 9 to the US and Canada, and 5 to 12 to the rest of the world. You get a tracking number by email as soon as it ships.

How much does shipping cost?

Nothing for the United States, Canada, Europe, the UK and the Middle East: shipping is free and tracked. Other regions pay a flat $100. Import duties or taxes in your country, if any, are paid on delivery.
