WALL ART & PRINTS
- Avoid water and leaving your product in direct sun
- Please note that all of our Lordy Dordie Art products are HAND MADE. This means there may be slight differences/ imperfections. This is the beauty of handmade; every piece is unique and different to the next.
- There may be cracks, lumps, marks etc visible on our Lordy Dordie Art artwork. This is NOT a flaw and is part of the piece. No refunds will be issued for any of these reasons.
ART CLUTCHES (not available at present)
- My Lordy Dordie Art CANVAS Clutches are hand painted with eco-friendly, non-toxic fabric paint onto heavy Cotton Canvas. So all you will need to do if there is a mark is either spot clean the area or lightly hand wash the Clutch & dry in a dry & darkish area (to keep the colours as bright as possible). Avoid water and leaving your product in direct sun
- Please note that all of our Lordy Dordie Art products are HAND MADE. This means there may be slight differences/ imperfections. This is the beauty of handmade; every piece is unique and different to the next.
- HAND WASH ONLY
- Due to the hand-painted and unique nature of the pieces, after heat exposure the paint may develop a life of it’s own and decide to leave slight marks to prevent this, don’t leave your Art Clutch in the sun or car when you are at the beach, or on a hot table at Sunday drinks.
