Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing details
I'll list images with their sizes. I use measuring tape to show the size of the items. And, I'll put the approx weight of the item as well.
Care Instructions - Bags and Purses
I do not recommend machine wash for any handmade bags. I recommend storing bags, purses, and clutches in dry areas away from heat and sunlight. Please do not use any harmful chemicals or detergents. Instead, I recommend cleaning bags with a damp cloth and quickly drying them.
Care Instructions - Jewelry
I recommend keeping jewelry in dry areas. Be careful when spraying perfumes and not put them directly on them. The afghan jewelry's glasses may fall off in long term but those can be easily glued back again.
Handmade jewelry can be cleaned using any polishing cream but be careful to remove any leftover with a damp cloth and dry it quickly.
Price Negotiation
All prices listed are the final price, and it depends on lots of factors. I do not take offers on lowering the price, I offer sales often but I won't lower the price on request.

What if I put wrong address or unverified address?
I usually write to my customers to verify the address for unverified addresses. Please respond with the correct address so I can ship the item. If I don't get any reply within three days, I will cancel the order.
I am not responsible for the wrong address; we have to wait until the item gets back to me. So that I can ship it again but you have to pay the shipping price again, I am sorry but I can't afford it as I am a small business. And, if you want a refund, then I have to deduct the shipping amount and will refund the remaining amount.
