    Unique, handcrafted designs. Ready to ship or custom made for you.

    We are Bev Shalts and Mike Petty, who work together as Tentacle Studio. Everything from Tentacle Studio is completely hand made by us - unique things, that don't exist anywhere else in the world.
    OUR CLIENTS are very diverse:
    Big companies and celebrities: Lady Gaga, Hermès, Delta Airlines, The BBC, plus stylists for fashion shows, professional performers and amateur party beasts! Our work has featured in many magazines including Vogue and the New York Times, and in several TV adverts.
    OUR HISTORY
    We met as theatre professionals, many years ago, when creating costumes and sculptures for extravagant London musicals. Theatre work is really high stress, with lots of mad panics and late nights, but this is how we honed our craft, and it taught us to 'think outside the box'. We still love a creative challenge. But everything was so badly organised in theatre workshops, it drove us crazy!
    So we created 'Tentacle Studio', a home for our creativity, and our professional skills. We worked in many inspiring places around Europe, before finding our present workshop, nestled just outside Amsterdam in the heart of the tulip growing area. The relaxed atmosphere in Holland is great - although we don't actually do much relaxing! Working intensely, on both stock items and custom orders, we buzz back and forth to our local Post office, so each order can zip towards it's new home as fast as possible. We've been doing this for many, many years, but there's never a dull moment! And we love it when people have fun and get transformed by our creations.

    Returns and exchange details
    We want you to love the things we create, so we triple check everything - in obsessive detail - to guarantee their quality.

    Only goods in a new, unworn condition will be considered for refund. If photos of you happily wearing the item have been posted on social media sites, the item has clearly been used! And so it is not eligible for a refund.

    Please think carefully about what you want, and ask questions before placing a custom order, as custom-made items are not eligible for return or refund. By custom-made we mean something in a non-standard colour, or a unique item that's specially made for you.

    2. Items must be returned via a trackable service, and insured for their full value.
    3. Items must be securely wrapped (preferably in our original packaging).

    All shipping fees are non refundable. Shipping costs related to returning goods must be born by the purchaser.
    DO NOT post or return anything to us without speaking to us first please!

    Privacy
    Valid from 25th May 2018.
    This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.
    This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy.

    1. PERSONAL INFORMATION I COLLECT
    To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.

    2. WHY I NEED YOUR INFORMATION AND HOW I USE IT
    I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

    • as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;

    • when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;

    • if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and

    as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

    3. INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
    Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

    • Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.

    • Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

    • Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

    • Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

    4. DATA RETENTION
    I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 5 years.

    5. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE EU
    I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

    6. YOUR RIGHTS
    If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

    • Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.

    • Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.

    • Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

    • Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

    7. HOW TO CONTACT ME
    For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Beverly Jean Shalts, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at mail [!at] tentaclestudio.com
    Alternately, you may mail me at:
