COMBS!
This week, we have added to our ever expanding hair accessory collection. We have added combs! Soemthing I have wanted to do for while now. Two colours to choose from, our pretty Coral Acid Tortoiseshell and classic dark tortoiseshell we have named Torty.
Did you know a wide-tooth comb easily detangles knots in your hair? They are super great for long and curly hair. Perfect for removing knots and detangling without pulling and snagging. And perfect for using on wet or damp hair.

Hey Hey! We have some more lovely new pieces in store this week. Say hello to the new Flora Earrings. We have two pretty styles to choose from. The lovely Flora Pearl Hoop Earrings, pretty, delicate minimal 14k gold filled hoops with little freshwater pearls.
Then if you like something a little more unusual we have the Flora Mismatched Hoop Earrings. A lovley little pearl hoop sits with a Matisse style flora drop with a freshwater pearl.
And...thanks to a lovely customer there is a second option on the mismatched set. Our lovely regular customer Libby asked if she could buy an extra little pearl hoop so she had the flexibility to wear the little pearl set or the mismatched set. Anyway, I absolutely loved this idea so added the option to the shop! You can shop the set RIGHT HERE

Hello lovely customers. Due to the current situation with Covid-19 I would like to assure you of a few things.
The Custom made studio is open and shipping orders on a daily basis. I am aiming to get orders out on the day they are placed, within reason. If you have ordered by around 3pm I can ship. Circumstances may change and I will keep you updated.
Currently there is just me working in the studio, this is pretty standard except for busy periods so the suggested hygiene regimes within the studio are easily managed. UK government health advise is being monitored and followed.
All your orders are shipped via Royal Mail and at present we are not aware of any disruption. Again, we are monitoring this situation and acting accordingly.
If you have any questions you can contact me directly [email protected] and our contact page gets you straight through to me too.
Your support means everything to a small business in these difficult times and we appreciate all your orders.
Anna, Custom Made
