PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
We take every care to ensure that the description and specification of our products are correct. However, specifications and descriptions of products on this website are not intended to be binding and are intended only to give a general description of the products. Furthermore, while the colour reproduction of the products is a close representation, we cannot accept any responsibility for any variation in colour caused by the browser software or computer system used to view the products.
PRODUCT SIZE AND COLOUR
All of our products are handmade, and rugs can vary in size by up to 10cm in width or length from the size shown. Likewise, although ARS colours are used for accuracy, colours can vary slightly from rug to rug due to different dye batches. This is normal with all dyed textiles. Once an order is placed with us you confirm your understanding and acceptance of this. If you require a custom rug of a specific size, please contact us - either by telephone on +44 (0) 7737 077965, or by email at shame@shamestudios.com.
STOCK AVAILABILITY
We hold a small number of stock pieces and shown through this website most items in our current range. If in stock the item is available for immediate purchase, if not in stock the item can be ordered. Most of our rugs are available as custom or bespoke pieces as well as in our standard sizes and colours.
BESPOKE AND OUT OF STOCK TERMS
Bespoke and custom orders are non-refundable or returnable unless there is a manufacturing fault with the rug. All bespoke, custom and out of stock orders require a 50% deposit and balance upon delivery day.
Our production times are between 8 - 26 weeks. Rugs under 5m long can be produced in 8-14 weeks with a 15% surcharge for double weaving shifts. This may vary with the season and the schedule of our weaving team. We will inform you of lead time to our best accuracy at time of order, or you can request this information via telephone on +44 (0) 7737 077965, or by email at shame@shamestudios.com.
