Shipping

Crafting time: most pieces are made to order and need about 2–5 business days. The current estimate for this design is shown on the product page.

Standard international shipping: free, usually 7–15 days after dispatch.

Express options: paid express shipping is available at checkout to speed up the international transit time. Crafting time itself cannot be rushed, so we can keep the quality and careful checks.

You can follow your parcel until it arrives.

Returns & After-sales

If your standard (non-custom) piece arrives damaged or very different from the description/photos, we will help you with a replacement or full refund and cover all shipping costs.

If you simply change your mind or feel it is not right for you (for non-custom pieces), you can return the item within 14 days from the delivery date. In this case, return shipping is paid by you, and we will refund the product price after we confirm it is undamaged.

For custom-made pieces (for example, sizes or details made only for you), we cannot accept returns unless there is a clear quality issue.

To protect your rights, we strongly recommend recording a short unboxing video when you open the parcel, so we can help you quickly if anything goes wrong in transit.

1. Keep away from moisture and avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
2. Do not press, crush, or bend; store in a box to preserve its shape.
3. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid contact with perfume, alcohol, or other chemicals.

What Makes FolkMake Different

Real Handmade in China：
Every piece is made in China by independent artisans and small studios — not factory-mass-produced. Built for everyday life, and chosen for lasting beauty.

Intention-Led Collections：
Shop by intention — calm & protection, luck & new beginnings, love & connection, strength & confidence, abundance & gratitude, or healing & comfort — so it’s easier to find what you want to keep or gift.

Clear Origin & Materials：
Each product page tells you where it’s made, what it’s made of, and what to expect — in plain, specific language.

Respectful Maker Partnerships：
We protect the maker’s original voice and craft. Fair pricing, honest descriptions, and no cheap imitations — so the piece arrives in its most authentic form.

Why We Started FolkMake

We are a young Chinese couple, Cecilia Chen and Oliver Sun. FolkMake exists to bring real handmade work in China to a wider world — pieces that feel honest, well made, and worth living with for a long time.

Our original intention was simple: to create a clear bridge, through us, for more people to understand these niche yet masterful crafts — what they are, how they’re made, and who stands behind them. For every piece, we explain materials and origin in plain, specific language, and we protect the maker’s original intention — so what you receive is not just an object, but the craft and meaning it was created to carry. We also organize our collections by intention, so it’s easier to find a piece that fits what you want to keep or gift — calm and protection, luck and new beginnings, love and connection, strength and confidence, abundance and gratitude, or healing and comfort.
