* TRAVEL Exception: some people like their item to be authographed / signed by Wieteke herself – on the back of the canvas for instance.
If in such occasions she is away on travels – you may have to wait a little longer for your item to be ready for shipping, until she is back.
In this case; we will ask you to make a downpayment so the item will remain reserved for you untill she returns home and will be able to
sign the item personally to you – before it will be sent on it’s way.

Refunds Original Art: 

Original art items are wrapped and shipped by a separate expert company, to make sure your item arrives in perfect state.
Due to the sensitive nature of wrapping and shipping canvasses, and the possible damage that may occor to it at your place or
on it’s way ‘back’ to us, we cannot refund purchases of Original Art.

Important! Due to Australia’s laws on importing wood products, we do not ship canvas prints to Australia.

Refunds Original Art: 

Jewlery items are wrapped carefully, to make sure your item arrives in perfect state.
Due to the sensitive nature of soft metals such as silver, gold and brass (scratching may occur easily) and due to any possible damage that may occor to it at your place, while ‘test-wearing’ an item or whilst being sent on it’s way ‘back’ to us, we cannot refund purchases of Jewlery Items.

What we CAN do to ensure you of the quality of the item before we send it on it’s way to you – is send you a high quality series of pictures of it from all posisble angles, and/or a high quality video – showing you the piece in good light, so you can confirm no scratches or damages were already on it. A tiny bit of matte-relief in the stucture of any crystal-fillings inside a certain design, is normal and not considered a form of ‘damage’.
