Purchasing this listing places a $50 deposit toward your own paint-splattered shoes. The deposit is applied to the final cost of the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThere are two ways to begin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSend your own shoes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can send an existing pair you would like altered. The shoes must be clean, dry, and structurally suitable for the work. Different materials accept paint differently, so I will confirm that the pair will work before I begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping to me and return shipping are paid by the buyer. Please use tracked shipping. Insurance is also recommended for valuable or difficult-to-replace shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHave me source the shoes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like me to find and purchase a new or specific pair, I will confirm the shoes, size, price, and availability with you first. The full cost of the shoes and any sourcing or shipping costs must be paid before I purchase them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter purchasing the deposit, I will contact you to confirm the shoes, size, colors, general direction, shipping details, estimated timeline, and final project cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce I have accepted the project and we have agreed on the direction, the deposit is non-refundable because it covers the time spent planning and preparing the work. If I am unable to accept the commission, the deposit will be refunded. If I am unable to complete the work after receiving your shoes, I will contact you to arrange their return and refund any payment made toward unfinished work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remaining balance must be paid before work begins. The timeline begins once I have the shoes, the direction has been confirmed, and the full balance has been received.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shoes pictured are examples of previous work and are not included with this deposit. Paint placement, colors, texture, and the finished appearance will naturally vary based on the shoes and their existing condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted shoes are still meant to be worn. The finish may naturally crease, scuff, fade, or change with use, becoming part of the life of the finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause every pair is made specifically for the person commissioning it, the finished work is final sale once work begins, except where the finished piece is materially different from what was agreed upon or where otherwise required by law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions or commission ideas may be sent to \u003ca href=\"mailto:chien@becomethecreative.com\"\u003echien@becomethecreative.com\u003c\/a\u003e before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ch’ien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46887295582369,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/8939\/0753\/files\/IMG-7725.jpg?v=1786823389","url":"https:\/\/becomethecreative.com\/products\/splattered-shoes","provider":"Ch’ien","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
