We have done our best to make sure all products and colors are displayed accurately.

As our products are also all handmade by artisans in rural conditions, each product can vary slightly from what you see on our website.

As we produce in limited quantities, all the products sold on this site are subject to availability.

Jurisdiction lies within the courts of Zurich. However we may appeal to the courts in the customer country of residence. Swiss law is applied exclusively, also when orders are placed from and goods are delivered abroad. The parties will endeavor to settle any arguments that may arise from the realization of the sales contract in an amicable way.
