Shipping policy

Last Updated: 3/10/2026

We ship all products from Bel Air, Maryland to customers across the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.

International shipping is not currently available, though shipping to Canada is planned for the future.

Because many of our products are produced in small batches or made to order, we focus on thoughtful production and clear timelines so you know exactly what to expect.
