Clean design. Handmade. Vibrant Color.

goodmarvin started with a simple mission to create beautiful bags to carry your yoga mat in to class. As a pilates instructor and yoga enthusiast, I was sick of seeing people carry their mats in boring bags made cheaply overseas. I wanted to share my love of colorful fabrics and combine my knowledge of design and sewing to make bags that were a joy to carry to class because of their ease of use and eyecatching designs.

My bridal clutch line grew out of a simple design I made one day - the Lena Clutch. I realized that it could be reproduced in many different colors, which made it very appealing to brides looking to match clutches to their wedding colors. I now have wristlets to add to the bridal collection - The Colette Clutch (lace, satin and vegan suede with a satin wristlet) and the Angela Wristlet (linen and lace with a linen wristlet).

I am mostly a one-woman operation. I wear all of the hats. I have one part-time helper, Jennifer Grey, who has joined me as a production assistant. She cuts fabric and is learning how to pin and iron pieces for me to sew.

goodmarvin products have been featured on the skinnymom blog in conjunction with the 2014 Summer of Awesome giveaway, ambmagazine.com, in the December 2012 issue of Woman's Day magazine, the May 2015 issue of Blush Magazine, on Emmaline Bride, on the fashion and lifestyle blog coco+kelly, jetsetera.com, and handmadeology.com. goodmarvin is a proud member of The Artisan Group, an exclusively handmade juried group of artisans who gift the press and celebrities at gifting lounges for major awards ceremonies such as the Golden Globes, Emmys, Academy Awards, as well as many others.

Returns and exchanges
If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your purchase, you may contact me for a refund or exchange. The customer must contact me within 1 week of delivery (as confirmed by USPS tracking info) and item must be returned in an unused condition (not washed or used in any way). Shipping costs are non-refundable and buyer must pay return shipping to return the item for a refund. In the event of an exchange, buyer must pay for return shipping of unsatisfactory item and to have a new item sent in its place.

I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON CUSTOM WORK since it was made especially for you and cannot be resold. This includes BRIDAL ORDERS, bags made to buyer's personal specifications and any order with personalized labels.

In the event an item arrives to you in a damaged state, please contact me immediately so we can work out a mutually agreeable solution.

LOSSES:
All domestic packages are now sent with tracking info so we can track down a lost package. If through some rare, but major screw up on USPS's end, the package is truly lost, I will be able to offer a refund minus shipping fees + cost value on the lost item(s). In some cases, I may be able to remake the item, but many of my items are one of a kind, so it may have to be substituted with an item of a similar value. I will work with the customer to see what can be done in this case. Customer will be asked to pay for additional shipping charges for the second item.

For international buyers:
The above policy for domestic losses now applies to the following countries because delivery confirmation is now included: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and Switzerland.

All international packages are now sent with insurance. If you believe your package has been lost, please contact me immediately so I can put in a claim for your package. Once we have been reimbursed by the shipping carrier through the insurance policy, we will refund your money for the lost item.
Payment
goodmarvin accepts paypal and credit cards through etsy's direct checkout feature and will ship ready to ship items within 2-3 business days of having received payment, and within production times specified for made-to-order items.

A 6% sales tax will be added at checkout to any customers from PA, in accordance with state law.
Shipping
US CUSTOMERS: Most packages are shipped via USPS First Class Mail with tracking info. Due to weight, large yoga bags and bridal orders are shipped via Priority Mail with tracking.

It is very rare for a package to get lost. Please contact me immediately if you suspect your order has been lost so I can use the tracking info the USPS provides to see if they can track it down.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:
All international packages are shipped via First Class International with insurance which is the most economical shipping method. Delivery varies according to destination, but usually takes 1-2 weeks to reach most destinations. Western Australia usually takes 3-4 weeks. Delivery confirmation is now Included on shipments to Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and Switzerland.

International packages can now be upgraded to DHL Express 2-3 business day shipping with tracking at checkout. Shipping quotes are based on delivery charges to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK, and Europe. If you are outside of those countries, please contact me prior to purchase for an accurate shipping quote.

CUSTOMS/VAT INFO:
Sometimes customs fees are assessed when your item arrives in your country and an import VAT (value-added tax) is applied. Please be aware of what your country's import VAT rules and limits are. I WILL NOT PAY FOR CUSTOMS DUTIES/HANDLING FEES APPLIED ONCE YOUR ORDER ARRIVES IN YOUR COUNTRY. The UK in particular has a very low limit (15 pounds sterling) for imported goods and will charge both import duty as well as a handling fee for orders exceeding this amount. These fees are not included in the shipping charge you pay to me. That only covers my cost to ship from the U.S. to your country. Please look up these costs PRIOR TO PURCHASE.

***I also cannot be held responsible for international packages lost if they were purchased without tracking.

FEEDBACK POLICY:
goodmarvin appreciates your positive feedback. If for some reason, you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me first prior to leaving NEGATIVE OR NEUTRAL FEEDBACK. I will do my best to come up with a reasonable solution for both of us. I am a very small business, so having satisfied customers really does matter to me :)
