How do you choose the brands you stock?
Every brand and product is carefully selected for its quality, craftsmanship and timeless design. We focus on products that are made to be used and enjoyed for years to come, rather than following short-lived trends. If we wouldn't use it in our own home, it doesn't make the collection.
How much is delivery?
We offer a flat-rate standard UK delivery service for £7 per order. Express delivery is also available for £10. Delivery options and costs will be displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.

To be eligible for a return, your item must:

Return Postage Costs
Unless an item is faulty, damaged, or sent in error, the cost of returning an item is the responsibility of the customer.
We strongly recommend using a tracked delivery service and obtaining proof of posting, as we cannot accept responsibility for returns lost in transit.
Damaged, Faulty or Incorrect Items
Please inspect your order upon arrival.
If your item arrives damaged, faulty, or you have received the wrong item, please contact us as soon as possible at contact@cocoon17.com so we can resolve the issue promptly.
Where an item is confirmed as faulty or incorrect, we will arrange a replacement, refund, or reimbursement of reasonable return postage costs.
Returning Knives and Other Bladed Products
For the safety of postal workers, fulfilment staff and recipients, all bladed items must be packaged securely for return.
Sharp edges and points must be protected with strong cardboard or other suitable protective material to prevent the blade piercing the packaging during transit.
Where a knife or bladed product is being returned, customers must use an appropriate tracked postal service permitted for bladed items, such as:
- Royal Mail Tracked Returns®
- Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed Returns®
- Parcelforce Worldwide Returns
Bladed items must not be returned using Business Response or Freepost services.
Any bladed item returned in unsafe packaging may be refused and returned to the sender.
Non-Returnable Items
We are unable to accept returns for:
- Gift cards
- Personalised or bespoke products
- Perishable goods
- Personal care products where hygiene seals have been broken
- Hazardous materials, flammable liquids or gases
- Sale or clearance items (unless faulty)
If you are unsure whether your item is eligible for return, please contact us before sending it back.
