Or you can of course always DM us on instagram.

Do you have a shop?

Nope! Since Sandra is often on the move and spends her time in Morocco for a few months a year, we don’t have a physical store. We work from our cozy Amsterdam office but have no showroom.

We do love to meet you in person and we can imagine you’d like to see our collections in real life, so we often organize pop-ups. Keep an eye out on our website and socials to stay up to date.

What are the different payment methods?

You can purchase items with iDeal, PayPal, Mastercard, Maestro, Belfius or via a bank transfer.

With an order amount above EUR 250,- we will pay the shipping costs for you. Shipping costs for orders below EUR 250,- within The Netherlands are EUR 5,99. Shipping costs for other countries will appear at the check-out page when entering your address details.

When you place an order with multiple items with a total amount of EUR 250,- or above, we will pay for the shipping costs. When you return one or more items causing your total shopping amount to drop below EUR 250,-, the shipping costs from the original shipment will be settled with the return amount.

What is the delivery time?

Our delivery time is 1-2 working days. If you place the order before 12:00 on a workday, we will send your package the same day! Otherwise we will send your package the next day. You will receive your package the day after its send out from the warehouse. So the average delivery time is two workdays.

Why is it not possible to order more than 1 piece of a certain item?

We love our unique items! Most of our vintage items are unique and one of a kind, so only one piece is available.

We do have more pieces of our own produced collections, table ware and accessories. We always produce in small amounts, to stay unique and conscious.

What is your washing advice for vintage items?

Rugs & vintage cushions: don’t wash ‘m! We recommend cleaning by a certified cleaning company.

Woolen blankets & cushions: Woolen blankets are washable on a (preferably cold) wool washing program with special wool detergent.

Cotton blankets & hamam towels: Washable on a delicate washing program.

PLEASE NOTE: We prefer bringing all of our items to a specialized (dry)cleaning company to guarantee our product quality, to keep your item beautiful as long as possible.

Is the pottery and tableware dishwasher proof?

We recommend washing your Tamegroute items by hand. The manufacturing of these items is a delicate process and we’d love for you to keep your Tamegroute items pretty as long as a lifetime.

PLEASE NOTE:If you’re using your Tamegroute item outside in wintertime, please make sure to place the pottery a few inches above the ground when it’s freezing.
