FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CAN YOU CREATE MULTIPLES OF ONE ITEM?
We do not mass produce items, however are able to do small runs of one item. They will vary slightly in shape and size as each piece is handcrafted. Also the timber grain and colour will vary from piece to piece.
ARE YOUR PIECES MASS-PRODUCED?
No. Every TURNER + TURNER piece is designed and handcrafted in our studios in the south west of Western Australia and Melbourne.
WILL THE PRODUCTS I RECEIVE VARY FROM THE PICTURES SHOWN?
We do our upmost to showcase the colours, grains and natural imperfections of our pieces. The product that you receive, however, may differ slightly in colour from the one pictured on our website.
WILL MY PIECES HAVE NATURAL IMPERFECTIONS?
Yes. Our pieces are created from natural materials known to have imperfections. We believe they add character to our pieces and do not consider them to be faults. We do our upmost to showcase our pieces from varying angles and include multiple photographs of a single product so you can see its natural beauty.

TIMBER
HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY TIMBER PRODUCTS?
We suggest using your timber pieces everyday, they are too beautiful not to! In order to maximise the longevity of your TURNER + TURNER timber products, we suggest never putting your pieces in the dishwasher, soaking them in water or allowing moisture to sit on their surfaces for long periods. Use a soft cloth to wipe each product’s surface clean and apply a coat of grape seed oil when your piece is looking dry. To do this, apply oil liberally over surface, allow it to sit for 5 minutes and then wipe off any excess oil.
WHAT TIMBERS DO YOU USE?
The majority of our timber pieces are created using Western Australian timbers and occassionally we use exotic woods.
IS YOUR TIMBER SUSTAINABLE?
Yes. Caring for the natural environment is extremely important to TURNER + TURNER. Our timber is sourced from carefully selected merchants who share our values.
LEATHER
HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY LEATHERGOODS?
To ensure you can maintain the appearance of your leather goods we recommend you follow a few simple practices:
Store your leather goods in cloth care bags when not in use. Never store your leather goods in plastic bags as the leather will sweat.
Store your leather goods in a place where air can circulate and are away from direct sunlight.
Store your leather goods in a cool, dry place without any pressure being applied which could cause permanent indentations and deformations.
Avoid overfilling your pieces as this may cause stretching and deformation in the leather.
Avoid contact with greasy substances, cosmetics, perfume, as well as any material (magazines, other leathers, etc) that may transfer their coloured pigments onto your leather goods.
Keep away from water and never use soap or solvents to clean leather.
Do not scratch or rub your product against abrasive surfaces.
Like our skin, leather needs to be moisturized and protected on a regular basis. Regularly use a leather conditioner as this will assist in maintaining the supple nature of most leathers. Please note Leather conditioners cannot be used on suede and some specialty leathers. Water and stain protector is useful to use on smooth leathers, suede, nubuck, textiles, metallics and assists in maintaining the beauty of your product. We suggest patch testing first to ensure it is safe to use.
Depending on the leather your accessory is made from, the life and look is affected by how you care for it. We suggest
THIN DELICATE LEATHER: has a higher maintenance requirement. It should be kept away from abrasive surfaces and weight bearing loads - this leather is not recommended for heavy/everyday use.
METALLIC LEATHER: should be kept away from abrasive surfaces as it can be scratched and due to the finish on the leather the colour may diminish over time or with excessive use - this leather is not recommended for heavy/everyday use.
SUEDES OR NUBUCKS: we recommend a scotch guard spray to reduce soiling. This leather should not be rubbed against lighter coloured clothing - even when treated - as colour may transfer.
WHAT METAL IS THE HARDWARE ON YOUR LEATHERGOODS?
We use brass and nickle hardware sourced from the United States of America.
WHAT ZIPS DO YOU USE ON YOUR LEATHERGOODS?
We've done our research and believe RIRI zips compliment our products perfectly. RIRI was founded in 1936 and their zips are made in Mendrisio, Switzerland and Tirano, Italy.
