What in the world is a Portmanteau?

/ ,pôrt' mantō/

Portmanteau is a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, for example motel (from ‘motor’ and ‘hotel’) or brunch (from ‘breakfast’ and ‘lunch’). For our specific brand, this word represents the blending of cultures through the design of our home and lifestyle products.

What kind of gift wrapping is available?

At Pormanteau Home, we try to be mindful of our impact on the environment.  We try to make mindful choices that will reduce waste when possible.  All of our textile products come in a 100% logo muslin bag which can be re-used in variety of ways.  Here are some ideas on how these muslin bags can be re-used.  Additionally, because they are made from natural fibers, they are completely biodegradable. 

 I ordered multiple products and the cultural fabrics are slightly different.  What gives?

We try to use locally made authentic fabrics from around the world.  This means that sometimes the fabrics are handmade by local artisans and can vary slightly from batch to batch.  Please refer to our Handmade Product Disclaimer page for more information.
