Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does shipping take?
Fast delivery for immediate comfort
At ArtAbaska, I trust reliable and fast carriers like FedEx, Purolator, and GLS to ensure efficient delivery. If your order is placed before noon on a business day, it is picked up by the carrier the same day. In most cases, the package is delivered the next day. Otherwise, delivery occurs within 24 to 48 hours.
In no time, you will receive your ArtAbaska creation and can enjoy the comfort and warmth ❄️🧤
Do you buy fur coats?
At ArtAbaska, I do not buy fur coats, but I gratefully accept donations from all over Canada. However, more than 50% of old furs cannot be transformed into mittens or moccasins due to their quality, thickness, or species. I need thick and robust furs to ensure the durability of my creations. Each donation is carefully evaluated, and when a fur is not usable as is, I recycle it into felt and fur insoles. Nothing is lost, everything is revalued.
How to care for my fur moccasins or mittens?
To preserve the quality of your fur products, it is recommended to care for them carefully. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and heat. If necessary, clean them gently with a damp cloth. Just like washing a puppy or kitten, fur products should be cleaned with a damp cloth and allowed to air dry. If in doubt, do not hesitate to contact me for specific care advice.
Are your creations eco-responsible?
Yes, all my products are made from recycled fur, which allows existing materials to be reused while reducing the ecological footprint. I believe in sustainable fashion, where elegance and ethics meet.
What does recycled materials mean?
The creations offered in this shop are handcrafted from carefully selected recycled materials. Due to their prior use, some leathers or furs may show slight signs of time (e.g., micro-cracks, texture variations, or small natural imperfections).
These peculiarities are strictly aesthetic and are an integral part of the unique character of each piece. They are not defects and do not affect the solidity, durability, functionality, or use of the product in any way.
No item leaves the workshop if it has a defect likely to compromise its use or longevity.
What are the biggest advantages of your products?
My products offer several remarkable advantages. I use recycled fur, contributing to sustainability and waste reduction. Each piece is carefully handcrafted in my workshop in Quebec, which guarantees quality and comfort, and I am proud of it. My unique designs add a touch of distinctive style and allow you to stand out. By choosing my creations, you support the local economy and craftsmanship, while opting for originality, durability, and ethical practices.
Are your products warm?
My products are not warm in the traditional sense. They adapt to your environment, just like animal fur in nature. This means they offer thermal comfort without feeling overheated or damp. Whether in colder or milder weather, they effectively regulate temperature and ensure a pleasant feeling in all circumstances.
Can we try or see your products physically?
No, it is unfortunately not possible to see or try my products in person. My workshop is located in a residential area, and I cannot welcome visitors. I prefer to dedicate my time to creation.
Thanks to my online store, I have global visibility and ship everywhere. With over 1,900 sales and many very positive customer reviews, I have demonstrated that my products are easily ordered online. My size charts are reliable and accurate, no matter where you order from.
Do you take special requests?
On my end, I take very few special requests, about one per month, depending on my availability.
I am solely responsible for designing each creation, and the demand for my handmade products is constantly growing. Most of my time is therefore dedicated to the items available in my online store.
If you would like a custom request, you should write to me directly so that we can discuss the possibilities and arrangements together.
✨ Requests are carefully selected. I prioritize serious and committed individuals.
