Very exceptionally we might accept credit accounts at our own discretion. Please get in touch on trade@corinnelapierre.com to discuss this.
What does RRP mean?
This is the Recommended Retail Price you sell to your customers.
In £GBP the RRP includes 20% VAT (except Books which are 0% VAT).
We also request that you respect the RRP by not undercutting other customers, except for time limited special offers or during sale periods.
How do I add a PO number to my order?
Please include it Note to Corinne Lapierre box at the end of your order.
How sustainable are your products?
All our kits are made here in Yorkshire, UK, by our very experienced and dedicated production team.
We source our materials in Britain wherever possible or in Europe if we cannot find them closer to home.
We are always looking for ways to reduce our impact and, in recent years, have switched our packaging from boxes with a plastic window to reusable, recyclable and biodegradable printed boxes. They also happen to be extremely pretty!
Nearly all the components are recyclable too, from the wool mix felt to the cotton DMC thread. There’s always room for improvement and we are constantly taking steps in the right direction.
What languages are your kits in?
All our kits contain instructions, templates and stitch guides in English and in French.
How difficult are your kits to make?
Our kits appeal to crafters of all abilities, including those just starting out. They are designed for adults but suitable for children from age 10, with some supervision and support as they all contain a sharp needle.
There is a difficulty level indicator on each label: easy, intermediate & advanced. This is also indicated in the product description.
Where can I find you on Social Media?
If you share our product on Social Media and tag us we will do our best to repost so that customers can see you stock our kits!

Can I make samples to display?
We’d love you to! Customers love seeing the finished item and you, or your team, will enjoy making them and sharing the experience.
We can provide a free sample to make with your order so just let us know what you’d like to make in the Note to Corinne Lapierre box at the end of your order.
Do you have any Point of Sale material I can use?
Yes, account holders can find the link to our lovely photos under Image Bank.
You’ll also find downloadable posters that you can print and display in store.
The link will also take you to all our product details including barcodes and customs codes.
Can I use your products for workshops?
Of course! Our kits are perfect for workshops and retreats as everything needed is in the box. Each participant must have their own kit or book. We do not allow photocopies and materials must be purchased from Corinne Lapierre.
Please mention when ordering that you are using the kits for workshops so that we can provide a free sample to make for the demonstrator (1 sample for minimum 10 identical kits).
Can you make bespoke designs and customize packaging?
Yes we can! We love collaborating with customers to design special kits and labelling. We have worked with several museums and charities with great success. As all our designs are created and made in house, we can be very responsive.
Minimum quantities do apply. Please contact trade@corinnelapierre.com so we can discuss your requirements.
Can I sell on third party websites?
Yes you can, so long as you credit Corinne Lapierre for all products and use our images.
We also request that you respect the RRP (Recommended Retail Price) by not undercutting other customers, except for time limited special offers or during sale periods.
How do I report an issue with my order?
We have stringent product quality controls in place and take great care when picking and packing your orders but errors do happen.
Please get in touch at trade@corinnelapierre.com and we will fix it!
