Hive sources unique products from around the world that are handmade by artisans and small family run businesses. We are unable to guarantee that product features such as shape, colour, pattern, weave and size will always be identical from item to item. They may have features which are an inherent part of their provenance and are not faults. We make every effort to accurately display the colours and features online but they may vary.

They cannot be redeemed online. No change is given and any balance that remains on the card can be used in whole or part against future purchases at Hive.
