Products

Pricing & Availability

All catalogue and webshop pricing is valid at the time of publication. We reserve the right to amend pricing at any time.

Products and special offer pricing are subject to availability while stocks last.

Where requested products are no longer available, we may substitute similar items of equal or higher quality.

Quality

Our product range includes a number of uniquely hand-crafted items. High quality standards are maintained for all products but individual items may vary slightly from descriptions on the webshop.

All sizing is approximate and products such as olive and rubber wood have natural variations in colouration and grain pattern.

Fair Wage & Ethical Sourcing

At Embrace, we work hard to source fairly-traded products from Middle Eastern countries and across the globe, ensuring producers are paid a fair price.

Many products in our range have the FairTrade Foundation’s FairTrade Mark.

Many others are ‘fairly-traded’ ie. certified under other agreements, e.g. British Association of FairTrade Shops and Suppliers – BAFTS or the World Fair Trade Organisation - WFTO.
