ORDERING
Products ordered through our Service
Our Service involves the production of bespoke made-to-measure goods which are made in line with your specifications (the "Goods"). The Service begins with a consultation with you at our studio and this consultation will include us taking your measurements. The Goods will then be produced. Additional consultations involving fittings and subsequent alterations may be necessary to finalise the Goods.
In contrast to the above, for overseas clients or those unable to visit our studio, the Goods will be made to standard United Kingdom sizing in line with measurements you provide to us. You are responsible for the accuracy of measurements you provide to us.
If you place an enquiry in respect of our Service, we will provide you with a price and request payment in full upfront prior to commencing provision of the Service and production of the Goods in the form of an invoice. Making payment constitutes you placing an order with us. Once payment is received, your contract with us is formed and we will then commence provision of the Service and production of the Goods. Your contract with us will be on the basis of these terms and conditions.

Any production and delivery times provided are estimates only and are not guaranteed. This means that you will not be entitled to cancel your order or claim compensation if your order is not produced or delivered on time.
