Store Policy

Customer Care

We are an eco-friendly handmade brand based in a small town in the South East of Ireland.
Amalka works solely with linen materials sourced from eco-friendly, cruelty free suppliers in Central Europe. With the utmost respect for nature, all the products you find in our store are created with great passion, quality, sustainability and in an environmentally friendly way. We are absolutely dedicated to thoughtful creating/making process so we try to avoid programmed machines or other non-human help and try to use as much human input in the whole process as possible in order we could not only provide you with truly handmade item. Regarding this, our making process is slow but we hope that it also motivates our customers to find satisfaction in slow buying and slow living.

Yours, amalka
