Answers
1) When will the website be finished?
As at October 2014 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 (as at October 2014 : around 70% of prices were on the dance/theatrical customer category). 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 for prices, please quote the item number on the website if available when you phone.

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.

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.
