About

"overgrowth (n.) - a usually abundant, luxuriant growth over or on something else"

est. 2021
| conceptualized in summer, brought to life in autumn; i created overgrowth with an earth-friendly attitude & my raging imagination in the driver seat. as a teen, i had PLENTY of ideas ... but no clue how to execute them, or build the confidence to even take the step forward. now, at 21, i feel more than ready to leap into the unknown & see where my ideas take me! i originally started on depop but switched to a site so i could truly bring my vision to life

the overgrowth origins
| overgrowth is technically short for overgrowth oddities & crafts, but the singular word sounded much smoother. i wanted to give the brand an identity that would allow me to expand into all kinds of creative realms: a chameleon effect if you will. & to be honest, i spent about 2 hours brainstorming, with one my best girlies, for names until i found the one that fit just right [love you maddie] ... overgrowth gives me an opportunity to stay innovative and keep my artistic eye seeing clearly; & hopefully it will evolve into a beautiful space to bring those new, blossoming projects to life: a true overgrowth. 

ethics & goals
| i strive to live a minimal waste, eco-friendly life, so i try to translate that into my shop. i use compostible packaging [minus a bubblewrap lining] & paper accents for easy recycling; & as of right now, my notes are handmade from cardstock paper as well! i am no where near as perfectly sustainable as i would like to be with my packaging, but i'm still in my trial & error era, so please be patient with me!

returns / refunds
| at this time, sold overgrowth items are non-refundable / returnable; the exception being if your item[s] arrived damaged or you received the wrong item. if this is the case, please email us at [email protected] with photos of the damage !
since all items are one-of-a-kind, we will not be able to send replacements, but will offer refunds to those whose orders were damaged. we are not responsible for stolen / misplaced / lost packages.

will i be selling more than card holders anytime soon?
| the short answer? no ... the long answer? yes, eventually! like i mentioned, i have multiple ideas lined up that are yet to be executed, so only time will tell what the future holds ;)

do you ship internationally?
| currently no, but if you happen to live outside of the U.S. & are interested in my products, please send a message at [email protected] & if i receive enough interested parties, i will definitely consider!

pricing?
| all of my items are handmade & personally designed by me, & my pricing reflects the time & investment i've put into every piece. i love each individually & find so much joy in creating them for others to enjoy. therefore, my prices are not negotiable & never will be. as for custom designs: i am not planning on making this option available.

in closing
| i am SO happy to be starting this journey here; even typing this i'm at a loss for words. i also want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far & who continue to inspire me! & a massive thank you for all of those who have purchased from me & supported my business! i hope you continue to follow me on this journey.

step into the flowering lush with me; the forest is calling ...
