At Barefoot Gypsy, we celebrate the natural ageing process of our products, recognising that characteristics such as splitting, cracking, and the gradual loss of natural oils may develop over time. Instead of perceiving these as flaws, we consider them as inherent features that enhance the unique beauty of our items, showcasing the natural life and allure of the timber used in our creations.

Our skilled artisans meticulously handcraft our products from Suar wood, which displays a variety of colours, grains, and knots, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind. These variations are the natural character of the timber and should be cherished rather than seen as defects.

It's important to note that Suar wood may expand and contract in response to temperature and humidity changes. This can result in slight movements and cracks, which are not considered faults but rather natural occurrences within the fibres of a natural product.

We take pride in offering products that embrace the beauty and authenticity of natural materials. The unique characteristics and subtle changes that come with age add to the charm and individuality of each piece. To mitigate any potential moisture-related issues, we recommend using a plastic underlay or coffee table riser to protect floorboards or rugs when using Suar wood furniture.

Enjoy the timeless beauty of our products and embrace the natural elements that make them truly special.

Excessive humidity fosters the formation of mould, as restricted air circulation and moisture collaborate to establish a microclimate conducive to mould development. Furniture, clothing, and various household items may become susceptible to mould growth under these conditions. It is important to note that when mould appears, it is not necessarily a flaw inherent to the affected items; instead, the presence of humidity or dampness in the air can furnish ample moisture for mould to flourish on any surface. Mould is not confined to specific locations and can manifest anywhere, with humid climates offering ideal conditions for the fungi to proliferate on various surfaces.
