Custom Hand-Lettered Ceramic Plates

We are a small 'mompreneur' company based in Cape Town, South Africa, founded in 2018. We specialise in adorable ceramic decor for babies, kids and big people.

Every single one of our bespoke products is lovingly handmade using white earthenware clay and hand painted using only the finest materials.

How do you ship?

We utilise a 24-hour door-to-door courier service for delivery in South Africa. A quote for international shipping to your location will be provided on request. 

How much does shipping cost?

We charge a R90 flat rate in South Africa for a 24-hour door-to-door courier service and offer free shipping, within South Africa, on orders of R1,000 or more.

Can I collect my order?

If you're in Cape Town and you'd prefer to arrange collection of your order, just select the order collection option at checkout. 

Do you ship overseas?

We do on special request - please contact us if you'd like to chat. 

Are payments secure?

Yes, all payments on our store are securely processed by PayFast.

You can pay using credit card, cheque card or EFT.

Please note: 

As all of our products are handmade, there is usually a 4 week lead time before delivery. If you would like to enquire about whether we have stock of a particular product before ordering, please use our contact form to get in touch. As soon as your order is ready, we'll dispatch it and you should then have it within 24 hours.

What is your refund/returns policy?

We try our best to package our ceramics as safely as possible, but in the unfortunate event that there is a breakage during transit, we will endeavour to either fix the item for you, or, if necessary, replace it. Should your order be damaged, we require that you please contact us, via email, within three days of arrival. We reserve the right to issue refunds as per our discretion. Please note: should you wish to return any item, the cost of shipping it back to us will be to your account.
