WARRANTY FAQS
Why offer a warranty?
Wild Silk Couture & Workshop has chosen to offer a warranty for ethical and quality purposes. Our hope is that our 6 Month/180 Day Warranty assists in reducing wastage and brings awareness to our society's 'throw-away' psychology. We, like many businesses and individuals, are realising we cannot afford to just discard precious resource products where there is the option to repair. The world is gradually, after hard lessons, doing a full circle to revert to old-school re-use, recycle and repair practices. Hopefully, everyone will understand and embrace the same vision.
