Is shipping included?

Yes. Prices on this site include tax and domestic shipping.

When will it arrive?

We dispatch within 3 days of payment (excluding our closed days).

Can I return it?

As these are one-of-a-kind vintage items, we do not accept returns for change of mind. If the item differs significantly from the description or we sent the wrong item, email us within 4 days of arrival.

Can you hold a piece for me?

Every piece is one of a kind, so we do not hold items, online or in the shop. First come, first served.

Is online stock the same as in the shop?

Yes. The same one-of-a-kind pieces are sold on this site, in the shop and on Mercari Shops (shared stock). Other channels are stopped automatically once a piece sells; in the rare case that it sells in two places at once, the order paid first is honoured and the other customer is contacted and fully refunded.
