Pieces are made in small batches, so an order takes a little time to prepare before it leaves the studio. That wait is the work being done, not a queue.

Starting a return

Email hello@brighteyesandsunflower.com with your order number and which piece you would like to send back. The studio replies with the return address and anything else you need. Please keep the return tracking until your refund is confirmed.

Exchanges

[PLACEHOLDER: exchange policy. For example: Because batches are limited, a direct exchange is not always possible. The simplest path is a return for a refund, then a new order for the piece you want.]

Final sale

[PLACEHOLDER: final-sale rules. For example: Custom and made-to-order pieces, and any item marked final sale, cannot be returned. Everyday pieces follow the return policy above.]

Damaged or wrong items

If a piece arrives damaged, or it is not what you ordered, email hello@brighteyesandsunflower.com within [PLACEHOLDER: window to report, e.g. 7 days] of delivery, with a photo if you can. A damaged or incorrect item is made right at no cost to you.
