All claims for shortages and/or damages must be reported to Tatine within 3 business days of receipt of merchandise. Providing supporting photos/documentation is required for all damages.

PRODUCT PHILOSOPHY + INGREDIENTS
Our design collaborations with global artisans bring to life the timeless custom pieces into which we pour our bespoke fragrances, such as hand forged brass and mouth-blown glassware. The candle vessels are made in compliant factories by skillful artisans with the mission to create a second life through drink safe glassware or keepsake containers. These things mean a lot to our mission, which is to impart a quiet joy and timeless, meaningful quality of handcrafted wares. The studio utilizes recycled and FSC-certified paper stocks as much as possible in both our product packaging and shipping materials in order to make strides towards protecting our planet. Our apothecary products are formulated without sulfates or parabens and undergo sterile microbial testing to ensure purity. We choose to pass on plastic and use glass bottles with no extraneous packaging.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT
Tatine is not a private label manufacturer, we are a design studio specializing in custom fragrance and packaging development for the Tatine brand. Due to the pandemic and restrictions on supply chains, we are not taking on any outside product development projects for the foreseeable future.
