Yes! All packages sent out are 100% discreet, only my PO Box return address and my name (Maria) is visible on the label. My shop or business name does not appear on the label.

Please refer to the item page to see the production time. Timeline details are also provided in order confirmation emails. If you still have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. 

Missing part of your order? No problem!

Some items, like pacifiers or butt plugs, may need separate packaging and shipping. This could mean they arrive a bit later.

Your remaining order may just be a day behind!

I understand that incidents of stolen packages can be frustrating and disappointing. However, Play in Velvet cannot be held responsible for packages that are stolen after delivery.

I create items in the order they’re received, but when orders come in quickly, production times may increase.

If the tracking on your package is showing signs of it being lost, please reach out to me and I can offer you a solution depending on the item that was ordered and its value.

Thank you for your understanding.

If USPS does not offer service in your country, you may still have another courier option available at checkout (DHL, UPS). 

If ordering internationally, please be advised that you may need to pay a customs fee. These customs fees can be high depending on which country you are ordering from. I am not responsible for making these payments.

Please note, if you refuse to pay the import fees, a refund will not be issued in this case.

If anything becomes damaged or breaks on your item, please reach out to me and in some instances I will be able to replace the part (a fee may be included for this depending on the type of damage).

Yes! I am always thrilled when a client reaches out for something extra special. If you are interested in something totally different than what you see in my shop, please get in touch!

Yes, of course!

Please get in touch with me, and I can make that happen. Include all the details of the customizations you would like. Refer to the bullet-point list from the Custom Order section to see what details may be important. 

If you would like an existing design to be altered to your specifications, a custom order will need to be made and priced specially for that item. Please avoid requesting customization after the purchase of an item, as it may not be possible. 

When you contact me for a custom order, please ensure that you include as much detail as possible, as I do not currently take on projects that give me too much artistic liberty or projects that require me to design the item for you.

Include the following details:

• The quantity and type of items you would like.
• The closure style you would prefer.
• Color of the hardware finish.
• Your measurements.
• What color satins you would like.
• If you would like lace, please specify the color of the lace.
• Whether you would like bows - how many bows, their size and placement on the collar.
• Any other hardware details such as O-rings or chain work.
• All decorative details such as crystals, rhinestones and charms, and their placement on the collar.

Additionally, you can provide a sketch alongside these details, or use the photos of other collars in my shop to refer to as examples of what you would like. This can be especially helpful as a guide to your final design. 

These products were tested by a laboratory and given a 'pass- compliant' mark in testing protocols. They can be designated as hygienically safe and do not pose the health risk associated with spontaneous release of nickel.

Note: Those allergic to nickel may show a reaction even if nickel is not released from a product. However, these products carry a much lower risk of an allergic reaction.

Some of my hardware comes nickel free, for special requests or further questions about availability of nickel free items, or if you have an allergy to nickel and have concerns, please get in touch!

I always encourage safety first. Sleeping in your collar may be okay if:

• It’s not too tight.
• It’s not heavily decorated—avoid bows, as they can become deformed, and skip any dangling embellishments or chain work that might snag.
• It’s no wider than 1".

I don’t recommend wearing your gear 24/7, as constant exposure to sweat and skin oils can accelerate tarnishing of the hardware.

Rose gold gets its pink hue from copper, so rose gold-plated items do contain copper. If you have allergies or sensitivities to copper, I do not recommend using rose gold-plated products.

Sterling silver, brass, and copper will tarnish over time due to natural oxidation, which occurs from exposure to air, moisture, and skin oils. To slow this process, store your items in air-tight or anti-tarnish boxes.

If tarnishing or oxidation occurs, you can easily polish your jewelry with a jewelry polishing cloth.

Please handle your items with care, especially if they are delicate or heavily decorated.

Please do not wash your satin gear in the washing machine, or fully submerge it in water. 

I recommend spot cleaning your satin gear with a white damp cloth. 

Avoid having your gear come into contact with makeup, lubricants etc.

Avoid getting the hardware wet, as the moisture can speed up the tarnishing process.

If you have a Play in Velvet piece that needs repairs, please contact me with photos and details and I'll let you know if this is something I can do.

If repairs are due to wear and tear, a repair charge may be required.

When using your items, please always exercise caution and practice safety first! I am not liable for any harm or injury that may occur while using these items.
