We generally keep inventory on products listed on our website, which means most items are available for immediate shipment and delivery. However there are times when we’re in the process of making and restocking an item, and it isn’t available to ship quite yet. These select items are then made available for pre-order. Usually this means 1 - 3 weeks until they are ready to ship, but we ask that you please refer to the delivery date listed on the individual product page. If you are interested in ordering a pre-order product, please note its delivery date below the pre-order button, as well as beside the item in your cart and throughout the checkout process.

Coral & Tusk’s creative process is a special alchemy of illustration, machine embroidery and hand-finishing. A RISD-trained textile designer, Stephanie first creates her irreverent characters and bold pattern designs as original pencil drawings before she painstakingly redraws them stitch by stitch using specialized software. Once digitized, designs are machine-embroidered by our production partners in India. Every Coral & Tusk product retains the hand-drawn allure of the original illustration, with the satisfying tactile quality of stitches on cloth. Find out more about us here.

No, we do not do custom work.

No, everything comes as you see it on our website. There are some reoccurring characters and designs you will see on different sizes or across different categories; however we do not work in this way. Each illustration is thoughtfully designed for the size and type of product you see it on.

All of the design work and prototyping is done by designer Stephanie Housley in her Wyoming studio. Once the design phase is completed, our production partners in India machine embroider, cut, and sew each product. Our partners in India embrace our own company standards, maintaining quality working conditions with fair wages and benefits. All of our products ship from our fulfillment center in the United States and our pillow inserts are made in the USA. See about our entire process here.

According to our own practices in the Coral & Tusk studio with how we care for our linen, as well as traditional linen washing and care recommendations, we have compiled a list of cleaning, storage and care for our linen products. Read more about our linen here: Materials & Care

• Dry Cleaning:
  • This is our default recommendation. In order to maintain the character your linen has from the moment of purchase, the safest bet is dry cleaning.
  • We recommend dry cleaning all table runners, since they are backed with a plain fabric and only the face is embroidered. Shrinkage may occur to the plain fabric backing when machine washed or laundered.
  • We also recommend dry cleaning for any product that uses a gold or silver metallic thread in the design.
  • Some of our products feature unique elements, such as magnets, to enhance their playful design. Please dry clean these items to ensure they remain in optimal condition. Never place a product with magnets in a machine washer or dryer.
• Washing:
  • If you are someone that is familiar with how linen responds when washed, and you enjoy the character the fabric develops after washing, we encourage the below guidelines. Many of us have lived with, washed and dried our Coral & Tusk products for years and years and can testify that they stand up very well when treated with care. The caveat is that the linen does change and evolve. We see this as a positive, but not everyone does, which is why if in doubt at all, dry clean.
    • If you choose to wash, here are some options:
    • Hand wash in cool to warm water
    • Machine wash, gentle cold cycle up to 65° F
    • NEVER USE BLEACH
    • Detergents that will work best and do not alter the natural color of linen are Seventh Generation, Mrs. Meyers, All (powder), Allens Naturally, Cheer (all versions) and Woolite.
• Drying:
• • Never tumble-dry linen as this can over-dry the fibers and makes ironing more difficult. Use spin cycle and/or line dry.
  • Dry flat or hang dry.
• Ironing and Storage:
  • Always iron linen when damp, first on the backside of the embroidered front side to eliminate creases and then on the face if you wish to enhance the fabric's natural sheen. If the linen has already dried out before ironing, use a water spray bottle to re-dampen it, especially any creases and wrinkles. A good steam iron set to the linen setting will work best.
  • Ironing your linens is also a matter of personal preference. The degree to which you iron, steam, or fold them fresh from the dryer will affect their final appearance.
  • Whenever possible, store linen articles without folding. Linen tablecloths or long pieces of fabric store best when rolled. Keep linens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid normal color fade.
• Stains:
  • Fresh stains are much easier to remove than old ones, so take care of stains promptly.
  • Blot up any excess liquid with a clean white cloth, or paper towel.
  • Avoid rubbing the stained area with a linty terrycloth towel to keep fabric pilling to a minimum. Using a flat cloth, first dab at the stain with a bit of water. If it does not come out completely, add a tiny bit of OBA free detergent and dab at the spot, repeating the process until the stain is removed.
  • Never rub a fresh stain with bar soap. Soap sets many stains.

If you select the "Pillow Cover with Insert" option on our website, the pillow cover will come with a down-alternative insert. Polysilk ™ fill is long lasting, machine washable, and hypoallergenic. It is a high-quality and luxurious fill for our embroidered pillows. If you prefer to provide your own insert, we offer the “Pillow Cover only” option as well.

We use linen that is made from 100% unbleached and undyed natural flax fiber. By embracing the natural beauty of linen, we reduce our use of harsh chemicals and pollutants that accompany standard dying practices. 

There is an inherent beauty in the shade variation from one crop to another. This variation stems from a range of natural factors including weather and soil contributing to soft fluctuations in the natural tones which start from seed and end in a beautifully woven natural cloth. 

The flax is grown in Lithuania, then wet spun into yarn at an ISO 9001 company in West Bengal, India, before arriving at our weaving workshop in Bangalore, India. All of the fiber is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified and does not contain any harmful substances or chemicals.

We wanted to choose a name that evoked beautiful imagery and good luck. Since coral and tusk are both auspicious materials, and both live on land and in the sea, it felt like the perfect combination. Our name is meant to allude to these precious materials in honor of keeping them intact in their natural habitat and being inspired by them, not harvested.
