Shop policies

Last updated on 17 June, 2022
Please bear in mind that these are (well made) handmade bags and purses that are constructed out of (usually) old/vintage books that weren't originally designed to be, well, bags and purses! So please be gentle and don't expect them to be as robust as a mass-produced handbag. (They ARE much nicer than a mass-produced handbag, though!)

I don't use rare books and the innards/stories can be rebound in fabric. Please let me know if you would like your rebound story included with your bag.

Delivery

My book bags, purses, mugs and tees are sent tracked second class 'to sign for' via Royal Mail within the UK and standard delivery via the Royal Mail overseas. UK deliveries should be with you in 5 working days, and overseas between 10 days to three weeks.

You can upgrade the method of posting at checkout to first class or tracked delivery.

Your bag or purse will arrive wrapped in white tissue paper and nestled in recycled shredded paper inside a cardboard box manufactured using a high percentage of recycled materials within a grey poly wrapper for protection.

Buyers will be responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply and I cannot be responsible for delays through customs.
