Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve answered some of the questions I’m asked most often below.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to get in touch. I’d be happy to answer any questions and help you decide which Hands Crafted collection is right for you.
-
Yes. Many of my pieces are made individually, and I’m happy to discuss creating something especially for you. Get in touch and we can talk about what you have in mind, including style, colours, materials and timeframe.
-
The uNiquely Hands Crafted Collection is where you’ll find my colourful, creative and sometimes wonderfully quirky pieces. Legacy Re-Crafted transforms meaningful clothing and textiles into something new, including bags, lap blankets and Huggable Memories. Lynne is my more refined collection, with a focus on sophisticated materials and a designer aesthetic.
-
Yes. My pieces are individually handcrafted by me in New Zealand, with a strong focus on quality construction, materials and attention to detail.
-
For a custom order, absolutely. What is possible will depend on the design and the materials available, but choosing the details is part of creating something that feels like yours.
-
Sometimes I may use the same bag design or pattern again, but fabric, leather, hardware and other details can make each finished piece quite different. Many of my creations are genuinely one of a kind.
-
Legacy Re-Crafted starts with clothing or textiles that mean something to you. You provide the items, and we discuss what you would like them transformed into. Depending on the material and what you have available, that could be a bag, lap blanket or Huggable Memory.
-
Yes. Sports jerseys and meaningful T-shirts can be transformed into custom bags while retaining the details that make the original garment special. Because every garment is different, I’ll look at what you have before confirming what can be created.
-
Timeframes vary depending on the piece, materials and my current workload. I’ll discuss timing with you before your order is confirmed rather than promising a standard turnaround that may not suit every creation.
-
Yes. Orders can be shipped throughout New Zealand. Shipping costs will depend on the size and weight of the finished order.
-
Potentially, yes. Please contact me before ordering so I can work out shipping options and costs for your location.
