A piece of home – for you and your family

We ship directly from our family-run warehouse in Monheim am Rhein (NRW, Germany). Many items – such as traditional costumes, plis, and statues – originate from Albania or Kosovo and are carefully inspected and lovingly packaged by us.

We usually process orders within 1–2 business days. Within Germany, delivery then takes 2–4 business days; for other European countries, it takes 2–8 business days depending on the destination. During peak times (e.g., before holidays), it may take slightly longer.

Within Germany, we ship small items such as patches, keychains, car air fresheners or stickers by letter for just €1.49. For orders from €35, standard shipping within Germany is free – letter shipping included; for bulky and heavy items (for example large instruments, busts and statues) this applies from €50. Below that, shipping costs within Germany range from €1.49 to €9.99 depending on size and weight. You can see the exact costs in the shopping cart before completing your order. For international deliveries, costs vary depending on the destination country and item.

Many of our traditional items – folk costumes, plis, qeleshe, statues, and selected handicrafts – come from Albania or Kosovo. We indicate the respective origin in the product description, as far as known, so you can make an informed choice.

Handmade items are crafted using traditional techniques. As a result, each piece may vary slightly from the photo in terms of color, grain, or detail – this is not a defect, but a mark of genuine craftsmanship and makes each item unique.

Please refer to the information in the respective product description. Unless an item is explicitly stated as officially licensed, it is a fan or concept product. We do not make unsubstantiated claims of license or originality.
