Can I change or cancel my order after it's been placed?
We understand that plans can change! You have a 24-hour window to amend your order after it's been placed. Since all our items are handmade and made to order, if your request comes in after we've started production, we might not be able to make changes. Please reach out to us immediately, and we'll do our very best to assist you.
Do I need an account to make a purchase?
No account? No problem! You can check out as a guest without needing to register. Of course, creating an account does have its perks, like faster checkout next time and the ability to track your orders easily.
Printing and Framing
What printing techniques do you use for your art prints?
We take pride in our high-quality prints. We use museum-grade matte paper, known for its smooth, uncoated finish and non-reflective surface—perfect for fine art prints and photography. Our paper weighs 200gsm (80lb) and has a luxurious, soft texture that feels substantial to the touch. Plus, it's FSC certified and sourced from sustainable materials, so it's eco-friendly too!
Do you offer framing options?
Absolutely! Our premium frames are handcrafted from responsibly sourced oak and ash wood. Each frame showcases unique wood grains, adding natural character and elegance to your artwork. Available in natural wood, black, and white finishes, all frames come ready to hang with a complete hanging kit—no assembly required!
What sizes are available for your prints?
We offer a range of standard sizes to suit your needs. While we don't provide custom sizes at the moment, our selection is designed to fit most spaces perfectly.

Product Care
How should I care for my art print?
Our museum-grade prints are designed to last. To keep your artwork looking its best, avoid placing it in direct sunlight or areas with high humidity. When cleaning, gently dust the frame and glass with a soft, dry cloth.
Will the colours of the print fade over time?
We use high-quality inks and materials that offer excellent sunlight resistance, even over prolonged periods. Unlike cheaper alternatives that fade quickly, our prints are crafted to stand the test of time.
Are the prints suitable for humid environments like bathrooms?
While our prints are made with high-quality materials, we recommend exercising caution when placing them in humid environments like bathrooms. Moisture can affect both the print and the wooden frame over time. If you choose to display your art in such areas, consider ensuring proper ventilation and perhaps using a protective frame.
