frequently asked questions

Products

How are your products made?

All our products are printed by hand. We use eco-friendly fabrics, such as 100% linen and 100% organic cotton, and all of our designs are screen printed using only water-based inks. Our process of hand printing produces a nice handmade quality so every item is unique.


What is the difference between a swag and canopy fixture?

All our lighting designs are available as a canopy fixture or swag connection. Canopy fixtures hard-wire into the ceiling and come with a black or white canopy, 6' matching cord, and all necessary hardware and instructions for installation. The canopy is a decorative plate that covers up the junction box and all the connections in the ceiling. An electrician is not necessary, but is recommended. Swag connection comes with 15' black or white cord with switch and plug at the end. Swag connections do not wire into the ceiling. You simply plug them into any standard wall outlet.
