Frequently Asked Questions

General

It’s crucial that you know no bird has been harmed for their feathers. Brackish obtains all feathers as humanely as possible. When birds molt, they lose old feathers naturally in preparation for new feathers. When possible, the feathers are obtained in this manner. In other instances, feathers are obtained through farmers who raise free range birds. The feathers are usually thrown away as a waste product, but Brackish sustainably reuses them. We wholeheartedly believe in respectfully repurposing nature.

All of our products are handcrafted from start to finish in our Charleston, SC studio. If you’re ever in the area, please stop by for a tour and see our artisans at work. We are open Monday through Friday from 9am-5pm, excluding holidays.

Yes, gift cards are available for purchase online and/or at our studio in Charleston, SC. If you purchase a gift card online you will receive it electronically via email. Electronic emails can either be sent straight to the recipient, or the purchaser for later gifting. If instead you’d like a physical gift card sent to the recipient, please contact our customer service team with a seven day notice and we will gladly ship a physical gift card to you/the recipient.

Note - Gift cards cannot be redeemed or returned for cash value, reloaded with additional value, resold, or transferred for value, except where required by law. Gift cards cannot be used to purchase other gift cards. No sales tax will be applied to the purchase of a gift card. Brackish will not replace lost or stolen gift cards without satisfactory proof of purchase.

Here at Brackish we work hard every day to provide our customers with one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces that are made with love, detail and patience - all while minimizing your cost. For that reason, we do not offer discount codes or coupons. However, if you choose to make a purchase, we offer complimentary shipping on all orders over $200 as well as a free 30-day return policy.

We have developed a proprietary process that enables a functional existence, while still portraying each piece’s natural beauty. If you take care of your Brackish piece, it will last a lifetime. However, if your feathers start to ruffle, we are happy to repair your design at no charge through our Brackish Guarantee. Register here to receive this offer.

Yes! Our bow tie neck straps are adjustable from 13” to 21.” If you are interested in placing an order for a larger or smaller neck strap please contact our Charleston-based concierge and we’ll be happy to help. (info@brackish.com / 843.469.8833)

We're aware of and respect the classic self tie bow, however, we take pride in disrupting those traditions, mostly because a self tie feather bow is nearly impossible. Trust us, that will not be an issue when sporting Brackish at your next event!

Yes! Each Brackish cuff has been intentionally designed to protect the feather craftsmanship. Though firm, each is adjustable. To size the cuff to your wrist, clasp your hand around the hardware and gently apply pressure. To make the cuff larger, place fingers on either side of the opening and tug gently to make the opening a bit wider.

Returns & Exchanges

Our standard policy offers a 30 day return and exchange policy from the date of purchase on all orders purchased directly from Brackish. No exceptions. All returns must be approved by our Quality Control Department before a refund can be issued. If the product shows signs of wear, we cannot issue a return. Refunds on shipping costs, gift wrapping, promotional items or box engraving are not available. Unfortunately, because of customs and tariff issues, Brackish cannot provide complimentary return shipping for international orders. Nonetheless, we will be happy to work with you to find an efficient way of returning the product. If an international order is returned and duties and/or fees are due at the time of delivery, this will be deducted from the refund amount.
