We carefully craft each item using high-quality materials including FSC-certified birch plywood, and acrylic.
Wooden pieces are beautifully finished with smooth sanded edges to remove burn marks, ensuring a clean and natural look.
As wood is a natural material, the grain, colour, knots, and engraving tone will vary slightly between pieces. These variations are part of the charm and uniqueness of each item.
Please also double-check all spellings on personalised orders, as we create them exactly as entered at checkout.
Acrylic can naturally attract a little dust due to static. To clean, simply wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth — no sprays or harsh cleaners are needed.
Wooden pieces may carry a light, smoky scent from the laser-cutting process; this is natural and will fade with time.
Our products are for decorative use only. Please keep out of reach of children and avoid hanging above cots or beds.
