Lets be real for a moment… it’s a one woman operation over here at laurenink headquarters. however If you really need something quicker, feel free to get in touch and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

I can offer returns on non custom items provided it is returned in the exact same condition as when it was purchased. The same applies to non custom handmade paper orders. The buyer is responsible for returns postage fees.

Yes! I love to experiment and create unique papers. If you are interested in a custom colour or blend of fibres (there are many exciting things you can include like seeds and wildflower petals) get it touch directly via email and we can discuss the possibilities.

All my coloured papers are dyed using botanical dyes which vary in lightfastness, therefore, each colour has different lightfastness. please get in touch if you’d like to discuss the lightfastness of a particular colour or for advice on its suitability for various purposes.

To prevent fading of any botanically dyed goods it is recommended that you keep them out of direct sunlight. For Art prints, framing them with UV protective glass is recommended although regular glass will also provide some degree of protection from fading due to sunlight.
