Description

Are you tired of losing your crafting essentials? Looking for a stylish solution? You’ve just found it!

Originally plain, unassuming, and unloved, this mid-century sewing box, rescued from a charity shop, has been meticulously upcycled, restyled and reborn as a versatile organiser for crafters of all kinds. From knitters and crocheters, to felters, embroiders and cross-stitch enthusiasts, there’s plenty of space here for those needles, scissors, silks, wool, patterns, threads, and all the other wonderful crafting paraphernalia that you’re forever misplacing!

Inspired by the funky and vibrant colour palette of the 1970s, where bright and lively shades reigned supreme, and stripes were the epitome of chic, the iconic design across this box pays a wonderful, more subtle, homage to those fabulously over the top designs. The result is a stunning piece that gives a nod to that iconic era while still feeling fresh and modern.
But this isn't just a sewing box; it's now a crafters' dream.

The interior has been relined with a wonderfully bright fabric, and a new internal tray, perfect for all your crafting essentials, has been built and added. The hinges have been replaced for sturdiness, and it’s been painted in glorious shades of Fusion Mineral Paint. Finally, a protective topcoat ensures that this piece lasts and lasts and lasts. Something to pass down to the grandchildren perhaps?

It truly is a timeless piece that celebrates the art of handy crafts. It's a functional work of art with its nostalgic charm and contemporary allure, it's a canvas for your imagination, so grab your tools, unleash your imagination, and make this box part of your essential crafting kit today.

Condition report:

All my items are hand-painted, professionally upcycled pieces which have been restored and updated for modern spaces. They are one-off pieces that have had a previous life, so please expect some unique small imperfections. As hand-painted pieces you should expect a high quality craftsman finish rather than a machine/factory finish.

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 17th October 2024

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.

Item not fit for purpose

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

Damage in transit

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

How to request a return

To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

How you will be refunded?

Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

What can't be returned?

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
