About artinsilk
My colorful life...
My whole life has revolved around using colors, designing "things", shapes and patterns... I have always loved the magical activities of painting and drawing.
I started designing and creating dresses for my dolls when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I made them all by hand including stitching the seams by hand!
Silk was always the most attractive fabric to me. One day, in my late teens, I hand dyed a small piece of silk fabric for the first time, I found the process of silk dyeing a little mysterious at the time... I knew then that working with dyes and silk was going to be one of my favorite creative activities.
***
I recently felt my hand painted silks artwork needed a different shop space, separate from my my other hand dyed silk creations and opened another store on Etsy.

Returns and exchange details
NO REFUNDS ON ANY SILK CHIFFON ITEMS as they are fragile and considered formal wear, which cannot be either returned or refunded and this is for obvious reasons: They are delicate and cannot be resold after having travelled and having been handled by the buyer. I don't accept returns, so you can be assured that your unique silk item has never been worn by anyone before.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON WHITES AND LIGHT COLOR ITEMS, BRIDAL WEAR AND SPECIAL ORDERS as I do not want my precious, delicate and unique silks to travel in the mail. If you are not sure about the color, please ask for swatches of colors before ordering. Bridal accessories have to be in pristine condition, and should not travel back and forth in the mail. As a result, I do not accept returns on bridal shawls wraps and scarves.
Since the pictures and descriptions are detailed and clear and since I mail silk swatches if customer ask for them, I will not accept returns on any silk chiffon creations.
I do accept exchanges on items like crepe de Chine in black, dark gray and navy. Items must be returned in the condition in which they were mailed and received by the buyer and in the same shipping box (This is possible only if item has not been used or taken out of its box.). Customer has to contact me within 3 days of getting the item so return can be arranged. Buyer pays all return shipping fees.
COLORS: Please send a self addressed stamped envelope to get swatches of my color before ordering since "I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON BRIDAL and FORMAL WEAR, and light and medium color items".
RESTOCKING FEE: There is a 15% restocking fee deducted from the retail price of the product refunded, this is for the time involved in inspecting the return, repackaging the return and relisting the return. Absolutely no refund on original shipping cost.

Shipping
I usually ship within 2 to 3 working days unless your item is made to order. However during the Holiday Season and Bridal Season, I ship within 2 to 4 business days since I sometimes get a lot of orders suddenly. I do not go to the Post Office every day so I have more time to create the art work.

If I receive too many dollars for shipping and handling, I refund the unused portion if it is more than $2.00.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: Price is for First Class International which takes up to two weeks. If you want delivery within 6 to 10 days, Priority Mail International is the best but costs more depending of weight of items.
Buyers are responsible for providing the correct address. if items are returned because an incorrect address was provided, the buyer is responsible for the cost of reshipping to the correct address.
