Orders & Tracking

 

When will my order be delivered?

Since most items are handmade, hand-embroidered, or hand-painted and made to order by artisans, it may take slightly longer to dispatch them. The dispatch time for each product is mentioned in the product's description. Once dispatched, your order will be delivered within 4 - 8 business days depending on your location. 

Please note, if you have more than one item  in your order, you may receive the order in multiple boxes.
