What It Really Means to Support a Small Artisan Brand Like Lusher.co

In a world overflowing with fast fashion, cheap shipping services, and mass-produced products, choosing to support a small artisan brand is an intentional act. It means choosing craftsmanship over convenience, connection over anonymity, and individuality over mass production.

At Lusher.co, every product we create is touched by real human hands. Every package is prepared with care. Every message is read by the same people who design, craft, and run the brand. We’re not a corporation — we’re a small team of artisans who believe that quality should be personal and creativity should be preserved.

True support for a brand like ours extends beyond the transaction. It’s a relationship built on understanding, communication, and shared appreciation for the beauty of slow, intentional, handcrafted work.

Below are the key ways customers help sustain small artisan brands everywhere.

1. Understanding Policies Helps to Serve You Better

Policies often get overlooked, but they are incredibly important for small businesses. At Lusher.co, our policies exist to protect both you and us. They help ensure that our process stays sustainable, ethical, and manageable with a small team.

Because we create in small batches and maintain high material standards while keeping prices as low as possible by selling direct-to-customer, we can’t absorb losses the way large corporations do. Shipping, returns, restocking, and replacements all impact brands significantly. Reading product descriptions, sizing details, estimated processing times, and return information sets the right expectations for both sides.

Taking a moment to understand these guidelines is one of the most supportive things you can do for a handcrafted business.

2. Kindness and Respect Go a Very Long Way

When you contact small artisan brands, you’re communicating directly with the humans who make and manage the brand — not outsourced support staff. We genuinely care about your experience and want you to love your purchase. 

Approaching conversations with kindness allows us to help you more efficiently. A respectful tone creates a space for solutions, collaboration, and understanding. Threats, hostility, or chargeback attempts don’t just hurt feelings — they can seriously affect a small brand’s ability to operate.

Your kindness helps us continue doing what we love: making your experience wonderful.

3. Thoughtful Buying Helps Sustain Small Craftsmanship

Because we produce in small batches, we don’t have warehouses full of extra stock. Every return costs us time, materials, labor, and significant shipping fees. While we absolutely accept returns that meet our policy, being mindful before purchasing truly helps us stay sustainable.

You support us immensely when you:

  • read the product descriptions

  • double-check sizing or measurements

  • review the materials

  • ask questions before ordering

  • understand that handmade items may vary slightly

Thoughtful buying helps reduce unnecessary returns and ensures you receive something you’ll truly love. It’s one of the most meaningful ways to support the longevity of a small artisan brand.

4. Real Support Means Contacting Us Directly — Not Using Social Media as Leverage

One of the biggest challenges small businesses face today is the misuse of social media as a tool for pressure or blackmail. Negative posts are often used by individuals attempting to force brands into offering free items in exchange for deleting or altering public criticism. This behavior deeply harms small companies and is a known tactic used in scams targeting independent brands.

Our experience is, authentic customers who genuinely value our work reach out to us immediately and privately if something isn’t right. They give us the opportunity to help — and we are always eager to fix issues when given the chance.

If a customer avoids contacting us but posts complaints everywhere else, it raises red flags, because the method suggests an intention to pressure and shame rather than communicate.

True supporters:

  • email us directly

  • allow us to assist promptly

  • trust that we want to make it right

  • understand that public negativity is used as a tactic to harass businesses.

We ask that all customers give us the opportunity to assist, this allows for faster solutions, more clarity, and a healthier, more honest customer-brand relationship.

5. Supporting Lusher.co Means Supporting Human Creativity

When you support Lusher.co, you’re supporting more than a product — you’re supporting:

  • a small team of artisans

  • slow, thoughtful craftsmanship

  • original designs

  • ethical production

  • human passion and creativity

You’re also supporting the continued existence of small, independent artistry in a world where handmade work is becoming increasingly rare.

Support looks like:

  • patience during busy seasons

  • appreciation for human-made variations

  • understanding when delays happen

  • reading before purchasing

  • showing kindness in your messages

  • leaving kind reviews

  • sharing your experience with friends

  • celebrating small business wins

Every act of support — no matter how small — helps keep independent artistry alive.
