Important Information

Each piece is handcrafted or sourced from vintage and reclaimed materials, making it truly one of a kind. We love the character that comes with age—variations in color, texture, and size, along with signs of previous use like surface wear, small dings, natural imperfections, or a subtle lean. These details, including the occasional repair or quirk in craftsmanship, tell a story and contribute to the beauty and uniqueness of each item.

When the image reflects the exact item, it will be noted; otherwise, expect thoughtful variation from piece to piece.
