We purchase crafts directly from our artisans with their set price and immediately pay them even before items are sold online. Because we don’t believe in the market norm of “pay as it’s sold” style, and we would like to support their artisanal life.

We only order items from artisans when they are out of stock. Because we believe their time and the material put into the craft-making are so precious, we don't want to waste any of these things.

We are trying to reduce waste as much as possible for packaging. Which means we use recycled wrapping papers and no fancy boxes in our shipping carton. Of course, it's for the environment, but also, we believe each piece is already beautiful as is with the artisanal spirits reflected in the crafts.

The items are insured in transit and we kindly ask you to check the content of the parcel upon receipt. If your order is damaged upon delivery to you, please contact us at ism.craftstore@gmail.com within 24 hours after receipt. We are responsible for goods, which have been damaged in transit. We will kindly replace the item or return the cost of the item if no longer in stock. 

The return remains at your charge. However, if the item you received is damaged and you send us the picture of the damaged items at ism.craftstore@gmail.com, there is no need to send the items back to us.

We do our best to refund you as soon as possible. Nevertheless, we have a 14-days period to process your return once it comes back to our Paris address.
