✨ Original art made with care in small batches and hand-printed for a unique touch ✨
✦ Every item is created by me, from sketch to finished product.
✦ All prints are handprinted by me from my home studio.
✦ Cards are NOT handprinted, but reproductions from linocuts/illustrations (aka digital prints from scans).
✦ I do my best to minimise packaging and opt for compostable and recyclable materials wherever possible.
✦ See FAQs at the bottom of this page for info about GIFT-WRAPPING and SHIPPING & RETURNS

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
As a rule of thumb, keep all prints at room temperature and avoid high humidity. Place out of direct sun and away from acidic materials to prevent fading. Framing is recommended to preserve the high quality of your prints.
Plastic-free packaging on all orders
For PRINTS:
All prints will be delivered to you either flat in a compostable cello bag with recycled card backing inside a cardboard envelope OR gently rolled in a poster tube (depending on size and what I have available) to ensure safe delivery.
For CARDS:
All cards come packaged plastic-free, in a compostable cello bag inside a cardboard envelope.
Gift-wrapping
While I do not offer a bespoke gift-wrapping service, I do carefully wrap all orders (not just gifts!) in pretty tissue paper and string and never include an invoice.
Please only mark your order as a gift if you'd like it sent directly to the recipient with a gift message instead of a thank you note. Got questions? message me here on ETSY and I'll be happy to answer any question you might have.

For international orders, customs fees are the responsibility of the receiver and import taxes may apply. Since Brexit, EU countries may incur a fee even if the item is marked as a gift.
As a seller, I have no control over the postal service once it has been shipped and I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.
Cancellations, returns & exchanges

♻️ Germany - Verpackungsgesetz (LUCID Packaging Register)
On 1st January 2019, Germany’s VerpackG (Packaging Act) came into effect, imposing requirements on online retailers – including Etsy shops selling to buyers in Germany. The Packaging Act promotes recycling and reuse of packaging materials (e.g. cardboard boxes, tape, and bubble wrap).
My company Chiara Mensa — Prints & design is registered with LUCID, which is the Packaging Register of the Stiftung Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Foundation Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR).
Producers/distributors pay a license fee to the dual system for the collection, sorting and recycling of the packaging they introduced to the market. My Dual System partner is Activate by Reclay Systems GmbH.
Please recycle when you can. Thank you.
