For UK cancellation rights, return conditions and help with faulty goods, see our Refunds and Returns policy. Contact us before sending an item back.
Card payments are handled by Stripe, and we also accept PayPal. Both are taken on the payment provider's own secure page, so we never see your card details.
What currency are the prices displayed in?
Every price on this site is in pounds sterling (GBP) and includes VAT.
What are your delivery options and how long will it take?
We ship within the UK only. Delivery is free on orders of £75 or more; below that it is a flat £25. Express delivery is available at £25 as a paid upgrade if you want it above the free threshold. Allow 5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.
Do I get a receipt for my order?
Yes. A receipt is emailed to you as soon as payment goes through, and a second email follows with a tracking number once your parcel is on its way.
Do you have a shop location?
No, we sell online only and hold no retail premises. That is a large part of why the prices are what they are.
Can I return my item?
Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, with no fee and no reason needed; you pay only the cost of sending it back. Beyond that we still accept change-of-mind returns up to 15 days from purchase, where a £29 handling charge applies. If an item arrives faulty, damaged or not as described we put it right at no cost to you, return postage included. Full detail is on our refunds and returns page.
How do I know if my order has been shipped?
You get a dispatch email with a tracking number the moment the parcel leaves the warehouse. You can follow it from our track your parcel page.
I have not received my order yet. Is it lost?
Almost certainly not. Deliveries take 5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time, so anything inside about ten days is normal. Check the tracking number in your dispatch email first, and if it has not moved for several days email us with your order number and we will chase it.
Is this a product on its own?
No. It is an embroidery service, and the GBP 9 buys the stitching only. You need at least one silk product in the same order for it to go on.
How much does it cost?
GBP 9 for each item you want embroidered. Two pillowcases embroidered is two of these, at GBP 18.
What can be embroidered?
Any silk product we sell in the same order: pyjamas, dressing gowns, sheets, pillowcases and the accessories.
How long does it add to delivery?
Two to three days on top of the usual handling, because the stitching is done before the parcel goes out.
Where on the item does the name go?
In the conventional place for each item: the cuff or chest on nightwear, and a corner on pillowcases and sheets.
How many characters can I have?
A first name or a set of initials is what this is designed for. Tell us what you want in the order notes and we will confirm before stitching if it will not sit well.
Can I choose the thread colour?
Tell us in the order notes and we will match it to the item where we can. If what you have asked for will not read against that colour, we will come back to you rather than guess.
Can I have a different name on each item?
Yes. Add one embroidery item per piece and note which name goes on which in the order notes.
Can I return an embroidered item if I change my mind?
No. Once a name is stitched on, the item cannot be resold, so personalised pieces sit outside the change-of-mind policy. Your rights if it arrives faulty or wrongly stitched are unaffected.
What if you stitch the wrong name?
Then it is our error, and we replace it at no cost to you. Send us a photograph and we will sort it out.
Will embroidery damage the silk?
It puts stitching through the fabric, which is permanent by design. On the weights we sell it holds well and does not pull.
Can I have it embroidered on something I already own?
No. The service applies to items bought in the same order, because the work happens here before dispatch.
Is it hand or machine embroidery?
Machine embroidery, which is what gives it the even finish and keeps it at GBP 9 rather than several times that.
Does it make a good gift?
It is the reason most people add it. A name on a pillowcase or a robe turns a standard item into something specific to one person.
Can I add it after I have placed my order?
Email us straight away with your order number. If the parcel has not been picked we can usually add it and take the extra payment.
How do I wash an embroidered item?
Exactly as you would the unembroidered version: cold, gentle, silk detergent, dry flat. The stitching needs no special treatment.
Will the embroidery fade?
The thread is colourfast at the wash temperatures silk needs. Direct sunlight over a long period will fade the thread and the silk together.
Can you embroider a logo or a design?
This service is for names and initials. Anything else is a conversation rather than a checkout item, so email us first.
Do you embroider in other languages or scripts?
Ask us before ordering. Latin script is straightforward and anything else depends on the font we can source.
Can I see it before it ships?
Ask in the order notes and we will send a photograph before it goes out.
Is there a minimum order?
Only that there is a silk product in the same order for the embroidery to go on.
Does the price change for larger items?
No. It is GBP 9 per item whether it goes on a pillowcase or a full sheet set.
