We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the appearances, colours, textures or finishes of our products that appear on the website. Due to the nature of some products being bespoke and handcrafted designs this can in turn mean that items are ‘one of a kind’ and all slightly different in their own right.

What you see will depend on your monitor and computer equipment, we are therefore unable to guarantee that the product images are an accurate representation of the actual merchandise. Please refer to our Returns Policy if you are unhappy with your purchase.

We will not be liable for any reason if the Something Blue Studio website is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of or the entire website for maintenance purposes.
