::: Eco-packaging & gifting :::
::: Eco-packaging :::
All Atelier Ana purchases are shipped in beautiful eco-packaging as follows:
- Recycled and recyclable Atelier Ana-branded cardboard postage box (no plastic bag)
- Recycled and recyclable tissue paper
- No sticker (so the tissue paper doesn’t tear and can be re-used)
- A Fairtrade cotton jewellery pouch
- Re-usable handmade gold-coloured teardrop paper clips, to hold everything in place
- A recycled and recyclable business card
- Even our small-as-possible postage label is recycled paper
- For gifting, order details are sent on email to the purchaser and contain no pricing information
If more than one earring pair is purchased without adding the 'gift' option (see next section), they will all be shipped together in one branded package to cut waste and tread as lightly as possible on our planet.
Where appropriate, earrings will be sent in a smaller branded eco-package (see photo above) to reduce the carbon footprint.
::: Gifting: Add rose petals & a message :::
You can choose to add preserved rose petals to your eco-packaging, as a treat for yourself or for someone else. There is also the option to add a message to a gift recipient. You can add these options on each product page or while reviewing your shopping cart before reaching checkout.
Preserving rose petals means they will last up to two years. They will eventually biodegrade but until then, they can be re-used – they make a perfect table decoration for a dinner party or celebration, or can be re-used in parcel packaging.
An Atelier Anna pair of handmade earrings will make a perfect gift - and their arrival in a Fairtrade cotton jewellery pouch, wrapped in recycled tissue paper and presented in a beautiful Atelier Ana-branded postage box will be a treat, whether the gift is for yourself or for someone else.
::: Shipping :::
All Atelier Ana orders aim to be shipped within 1-2 working days.
UK standard eco-packaging and shipping is £3.50 and we send by Royal Mail. It is free on orders over £55.
There are also options at checkout for courier services.
We send packages in 'large letter'-sized recycled boxes, rather than parcels, to ensure they have as small a 'footprint' on the environment as possible.
We do not currently ship outside the UK but we hope this is something we can set up in future.
