1) When will the website be finished?
UNDER CONSTRUCTION We are currently at the stage of 90% of one of all our items on the website, and many of these also have a link to the full colour range of that item. After we have completed the full colour range of most items we will then put prices on the website (currently over 70% of items have a price). Although as we have over 5,000 items/images this will be finished as the months progress, in the meantime one can phone (02)92671428 to order or for bulk prices, please quote the item number on the website if available when you phone.

Please phone us on 02.92671428 or visit our showroom premises in Sydney for more information.

2) What is the best way to navigate the website?
HOW TO NAVIGATE THE WEBSITE
At the moment we are ¾ of the way through the website so some of the links etc are yet to complete. The best way to find the product you are looking for will be to click onto your respective customer category button/link on the Main Home Page (at the top of every page is also a link to the Main Home Page) , and then click the product list for that category. If you are not sure which customer category you are in, then just click the Full product range (also called All categories button).

There is a discount for most items when purchasing a bulk amount. Please phone for the bulk price.

16) What are the washing or cleaning instructions for products?
Washing or cleaning instructions vary from product to product; as many items should not be washed at all (such as feathers) and therefore no cleaning instructions are recommended.

17) Notes regarding use or care of our products?
There is no guarantee given as to our product use; and as previously mentioned no guarantee is given that any of our merchandise is colourfast.
Chemicals, cosmetics (eg: tanning lotions and moisturises) or constant rubbing can effect the colourfastness (or colour coating) on many products (such as some beads & sequins).
Suitability for the end use of our products are the customers responsibility.
eg : all sequin items are non-colourfast so colour can eventually come of not just in washing or even by the use of tanning lotions etc.
eg: colour coating of many products can also come off with constant contact or rubbing
