Policies & Terms
Happy customers are most important to me! Each piece I offer has lived a life before finding its way here. Through thoughtful touches and intentional care, I give these treasures a second chance—not to be flawless, but to be loved, to belong, and to carry their story forward. Because of the nature of these pre-loved items, all sales are final. If you have any questions before purchasing, please get in touch.
