Handmade, vintage, and sourced: what the labels mean

Clear labels help buyers understand what they are looking at before they decide whether a piece is right for them.

Handmade

Handmade means the item was made, assembled, carved, cast, engraved, printed, painted, polished, or otherwise worked on in the Devil n Dove workshop. Each listing should state actual materials, process notes, and any meaningful handmade variation.

Vintage, antique, collectible, and sourced

These labels describe found or pre-existing items. We do not represent them as newly handmade. Listings should make room for condition, wear, repairs, known or estimated era, provenance clues, cleaning notes, and unknowns.

One of a kind and small batch

One of a kind means that exact item is not expected to be duplicated. Small batch means related pieces may exist, but colour, pattern, placement, or finish can vary. The product page should say which situation applies.

Questions before purchase

Ask about condition, material, size, pickup, shipping, or a close-up before buying. Clear questions are part of a good handmade and vintage shopping experience.

When in doubt, ask first

If a listing has a special finish, a vintage condition detail, a custom sizing question, or product-specific safety notes, the individual listing and direct message take priority over this general guide.
