Boxed with the blooms cushioned so nothing is crushed on the way. Stems and foliage travel compressed — open the box, ease each one out from the centre and give the petals a few minutes to settle. That five minutes is the difference between fine and convincing.
Dust with a soft brush, or a hairdryer on its cool setting for a deeper clean. Keep out of direct, prolonged sunlight to hold the colour, and keep it dry — these are not made to sit in water.
UK delivery is free over £60, and £4.99 below that. US delivery is free over $80, and $8.99 below that. Shipped direct from our workshop and tracked the whole way. Tracking updates are usually available within 2–3 working days after leaving China, with delivery typically taking 7–12 working days. View full delivery details.
If it arrives damaged or is not as described, send us a photo within 30 days. We will refund or replace it, and there is no need to return it. Changed your mind? Tell us within 14 days of delivery and you have a further 14 days to send it back. Return postage to our address in China is at your own cost, and the piece needs to be unused and in its original packaging. Alternatively, for UK items under £50, or US items under $70, you can keep the item and receive a refund of 55% of the purchase price. Above £50 in the UK or $70 in the US, the item would need to come back instead. The reason is plain arithmetic rather than policy. At those prices, refunding more than half the value on an item I never see again is not something this shop can absorb yet. View full returns & refunds details.
How to style it
A few ways to bring it into your space.
Dining and entryway
Set as a centrepiece for everyday dining, or by the door where it is the first thing anyone sees.
Console and shelf
Pair with candles or a favourite object for a styled corner that never needs rearranging.
Gifting
Arrives ready to give — no vase, no water, no wilting before the box is opened.
Not all faux flowers are created equal
If you have ever worried that faux flowers look obviously fake, you are not wrong — the quality range in this category is enormous, and most of it is built to a price.
Here is what we look for in a piece before we will sell it, and what we turn down.
Cut and cupped individually, shaded so the colour deepens at the base
Flat, stamped petals in one uniform tone
Foliage set at uneven lengths so the outline stays irregular
Neat, symmetrical shape that reads as manufactured
Layered shading across each bloom and between stems
A single flat colour repeated across every flower
Silk-finish fabric on a shaped core, with wired or rope fixings
Moulded plastic with a visible seam
Holds up at arm's length, on a table or in the hand
Convincing from across the room only
Keeps its shape and colour away from direct sunlight
Fades and flattens within a season
What makes us different
Three things we will not compromise on, and why they are what separate a faux stem you look twice at from one you never look at again.
Faux, not fake
A convincing bloom is mostly a question of edges. Petals are cut and cupped one at a time, then shaded so the colour deepens where a real flower would hold light and lifts where it would catch it. The flat, single-tone petal is what gives cheap stems away from across a room — before you have registered the shape, you have already read the colour, and a flower that is one colour all over is not a flower your eye believes. Look at the base of any bloom here and you will find three or four tones sitting in the same petal.
Set by hand
Foliage does the rest of the work. Leaves, sprigs and filler are placed at uneven lengths so the silhouette breaks up instead of resolving into a neat outline — and a neat outline is what your eye is actually reading when something looks manufactured. Real stems never agree on where to stop. Because each piece is assembled by hand rather than pressed into a mould, no two sit exactly alike, and the small differences between them are the point rather than a defect.
Chosen, not just sourced
We buy on those two things and turn down a great deal that fails them, however good the price. Anything with a visible seam, a stamped petal or a colour that has been printed rather than layered does not make it onto the site. What does make it here is then packed to survive the journey — compressed so nothing is crushed, cushioned where the blooms sit, and shipped tracked so you know where it is. Five minutes of shaping when it lands and it looks the way it looked when it left us.
