Product queries/complaints:

i) Studio198 supplies a variety of natural, bespoke and hand-made products. as with all natural and hand-made products there is an element of variation. bespoke and hand laid products are classed as specialty items where natural flaws can be inherent. colour variations may also occur due to the natural materials used. these are influenced by nature
itself and not considered a fault in or of the product. this applies to all wall coverings, textiles and leathers.

ii) fabrics and wallcoverings from our american fabric & wallpaper suppliers are only supplied in yards therefore some overage may occur to meet the requested quantity in metres. minimum order levels will apply. leather is sold in whole hide increments only unless otherwise specified. as leather is a natural product, hides can have variations in colour, texture and size in accordance with the terms and conditions of trade, section 7.i)
