Questions
Do you offer international shipping?
Currently we focus on continental US deliveries, but can arrange international shipments upon request through our customer service team.
Are your products actually made in France?
Our collections originate from French artisans using traditional European manufacturing methods, though some items may be finished in our San Diego studio for quality control.
Can I order custom sizes for textiles?
Many of our jacquard and organdy textiles are available in custom lengths through special order arrangements with our design consultants.
What's your return policy?
We accept returns of unopened items within 30 days of delivery. Custom orders and clearance items cannot be returned due to their specialized nature.
Do you have a physical showroom?
While we operate as an online boutique, we maintain a San Diego studio by appointment for viewing select premium collections and samples.
How do I care for antique-style furnishings?
Each purchase includes detailed care instructions. Most wooden pieces require only occasional polishing with non-abrasive products to maintain their original luster.
