Very Wide White Lace (sold per metre). #101

This is new and unused lace - bought in a huge bulk preloved haberdashery lot a while back for my stock room. I use lace regularly on my bespoke curtains but have way too much for my purposes, so decided to share.

This particular design is an extremely wide 8 inch deep (20cm wide) gorgeous lace with intricate detail with various florals. Some of the threads are reflective so they catch the light for added effect. It has a scalloped edge with a pretty border.

In the photos I have featured my hand for an idea of scale as well as one picture with the measuring tape pictured across the width so you can see the measurement for yourself.

I will cut it per metre for each buyer from the huge roll. I've listed 35 metres for starters. If you need more, let me know - the roll is virtually full - I suspect looking at similar ones I'm guessing there's probably well in excess of 100 metres available at the time of listing.

More lace, many different lengths and various patterns/widths will be listed in due course - why not keep an eye on my shop :-)

Colour: White

Stretch: A fair bit of give is provided both width and lengthwise.

Width: 20cm (or the online converter states this is 7.8 inches (rounded to 8 inches for ease).

Imperfections: None noted.

The following terms of sale are more for my curtain listings but the general info is the same.

Colour:

• I've done my best to show the shade correctly, but your screen may be set up/display differently to mine. To help you determine if the shade/colour is suitable for your needs before purchase, I can include a photo of an international colour standard chart RAL K7 Classic against the item if this is useful for you. Let me know if so and I'll snap a picture and send it through to you.
• Alternatively, you can send a sample of fabric/wallpaper/paint etc. & I will photograph it next to the fabric. These services are offered as a kindness, without charge. Sadly as a tiny business I cannot afford to offer a "borrow my item & return it if it is not quite the right shade for my room" service.

Terms of Sale:

• All textiles/items are preloved, reclaimed, end of rolls etc. Handmade items such as curtain tiebacks or bespoke curtains are created from preloved materials and/or gathered recycled objects. Many are vintage so there may be small or superficial marks from previous use which might be noticed on unpacking, but not usually noticeable during use. Items are checked & significant imperfections are photographed/described.
• I measure as accurately as possible but figures are approximate. Width measurements are taken with material unpleated & laid flat. A metal tape is applied above hems/across the item. An online converter is used to change to inches, note not 100% accurate. 
• Auction items are not ended early unless absolutely necessary. 
• Fabric is cleaned using gentle methods - steam treatment/machine hand wash prior to listing, unless otherwise stated (except tassels/fringing/trims). Your item/s may benefit from more intensive treatment on receipt but beware of following old label info - textiles deteriorate over time, so you may cause rips/tears/holes by using out of date washing instructions (I have accidentally done this myself!).
• Where curtains have been remade & the label removed during the process, I will photograph it & reattach with a safety pin.
• Please ensure you have enough to finish your project, dress your door/window & if purchasing a tie back, please measure (using string perhaps) to ensure the cord length works for the gathered curtain fabric. There are guides online to help calculate. I do not accept returns because your item doesn’t fit or you've calculated wrongly and found on receipt that there's too much/not enough material.
• Tassels on curtain listings are for photography purposes only.

Shipping:

• Recycled packaging will be used.
• Items are dispatched within 2 days of auction end. If faster shipping is required, please message & I will do my best.
• Items will be sent by Royal Mail or courier depending on the size. My small town doesn’t have access to all carriers, so I can’t guarantee use of a specific service.
• I add a small amount extra to pay for purchase of tape, paper, label ink & fuel to drop off as well as packing/drop off time. 
• If you live in the UK but off the mainland, (including NI, Channel & Scottish Isles), please contact me before bidding/purchase for accurate shipping costs - these are often lot more than standard courier rates. I cannot afford to absorb this extra cost on your behalf. I will do my best to get a good quote & amend the listing for you if necessary. If you do not do this & expect me to send using quoted UK mainland prices, I may cancel the order.
• I will ship internationally but only using the Ebay Global Platform. 

Returns:

• Simply contact me within 14 days of receipt explaining why you want to return your item along with photos of the identified discrepancy. If I made an error, it will be a genuine mistake. I'm not perfect, & take full responsibility for anything accidentally missed or overlooked. 
• I may accept returns for other reasons, but only if customers are pleasant & honest about why they don't want the item.
• If agreed, items must be returned in the same condition with all packaging within 30 days. If my error, I’ll pay the postage. If a return is accepted for another reason the buyer pays return postage costs.
• Sadly, occasionally buyers request returns unfairly insinuating an "item is not as described" when it actually is & the information provided has not been read properly by the buyer. I offer free complimentary services for colour-matching, & spend hours measuring, photographing, creating diagrams, checking for flaws & writing detailed product descriptions. Returns cost small sellers a great deal in time & money. If you have not read the product description properly & request a return unfairly, it will be raised with customer services as an issue & a report submitted. Ebay is a kind place & we should all treat each other respectfully to keep it a safe place to buy & sell.
