PRE ORDERS

Since Lillian*Madison brooches are handmade only by Angelina, offering pre orders can become overwhelming. There are too many unforeseen circumstances that can happen. It can also cause delays in future releases. If something is sold out, we recommend signing up for the waitlist.

Pre Order Items are not eligible for Cancellation, Refunds or Returns.

 

CUSTOM COLOR REQUESTS

We do not accept color change requests for our brooches. Doing so would make it a custom piece.

RESTOCKS / SOLD OUT AND DISCONTINUED / LIMITED EDITION 

Each brooch planned to be restocked will have a restocking date in the listing description. 

If a brooch is sold out, it may be restocked in a few weeks or months. Please subscribe to the waitlist and wait for the restocking date. If a brooch is not listed in The Vault, that means it is not discontinued and will be restocked.

A brooch that is discontinued will never return once it has been sold out. 

A Limited Edition brooch is a special release of a certain brooch design. It can be discontinued at any time. 

Please note: That a Discontinued / Limited Edition brooch can not be commissioned as a Custom Order. 

 

BUYING HANDMADE

Each brooch is handcrafted by Angelina. While every effort is made to have them all look the same, this is nearly impossible for handmade items. Each brooch is a little work of art and are all unique. All of our brooches are photographed and described as accurately as possible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I make a purchase before a release or can you hold items for me?

To ensure fairness to all of our customers, we cannot hold items or allow purchases before a release. All items are sold on a first come, first served basis.

 

Can you send me free brooches to promote on my Instagram page or blog?

While we appreciate that you love our brooches, as a small business we cannot send out product for free.  

 

Do you offer Wholesale?

We do not offer wholesale pricing at this time.

 

I forgot to enter my coupon code at checkout...can you refund me the difference?

Unfortunately we cannot redeem coupon codes for you. Please make sure to enter your coupon at checkout. 

 

If a brooch is discontinued, can you still make it for me?

While we are thrilled you love our past designs, once a brooch is in The Vault, it is discontinued and never coming back. It's more fun to create new designs than to continuously work on old ones.
