FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does your leather come from?
Most of our leather, about 85%, proudly comes from Australian cows, with a touch of New Zealand heritage for the rest. It's all cow leather here, with just a hint of kangaroo lacing for that unique Rustic Wren touch. We're passionate about sourcing locally to support our community and ensure the highest quality.

Where are your products made?
Every piece is born in our Adelaide Hills studio, designed and handcrafted with care by me, Jess, and our talented local team. We're all about keeping it home-grown and hands-on to ensure you get nothing but the best.

Can we become a stockist?
We'd love to chat about partnering up! Just drop us a line through the 'Wholesale, Become a Stockist' form on our contact page, and we'll get the conversation started.

Do you make the menus yourself?
Absolutely! Our menus are a labor of love, designed and handcrafted right here in our Adelaide Hills studio. We take pride in every stitch and fold.

How should I clean my menus?
Keep it simple with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water. Gently wipe and let them dry flat out of direct sunlight. This method keeps them looking their best without harsh chemicals.

What's the turnaround time for Rustic Wren products?
Since every item is handcrafted upon order, we ask for 4 to 5 weeks to perfect your piece. Once ready, we ship express, so expect your treasures in 3 to 5 days. For South Australians, a local pickup option is a breeze—just ask us for the code.

Do you have a showroom?
Our studio doubles as a cozy retail space by appointment. It's a little glimpse into our world, although we keep stock limited since we craft to order. Check out our stockists across South Australia and beyond for more Rustic Wren finds.

Is there a minimum order?
Nope, no minimums here. But remember, the more you order, the better the deal.

Do you have a price list?
Since everything's made to order, we tailor quotes to your needs. Drop us a message with your requirements, or check our website for individual product prices. We're quick to respond—within 24 hours!

Can I personalise my journal?

How do I care for my leather journal?
