In what countries and cities are Inge Löök’s products available?

We don’t have shops of our own. Rather, Inge Löök products are sold in well-sorted paper and gift shops in an increasing number of countries, cities and towns. In Sweden, Inge Löök products are distributed by Rationella Media AB, in Austria and Germany by Taurus-Kunstkarten GmbH, in the Netherlands by Ivy Art and Pro Card Exclusive, in Switzerland by CART – La Compagnie des Arts Sàrl and in Russia by Alexandr Solovei IO. In other countries we work directly with individual gift shops, paper and book shops, museums, flower shops and garden centers and even a few cafeterias.

If you’re interested in adding Inge Löök’s products also to the selection of your shop, we hope to hear from you via our Contact page on this site. Alternatively, if you operate in one of the countries listed above we kindly invite you to contact your national distributor directly.

Where are the Inge Löök-products manufactured?

The Inge Löök-products are manufactured in Finland. The paper products are printed by Print Mill Oy Ab in Loviisa and the textile products are made by Printscorpio Oy in Aitoo just outside Tampere. The only products not produced in Finland are the matches, which are manufactured in Hungary in accordance with EU restrictions, and the jigsaw puzzles, which are made in Spain.

I’m puzzled with the exchange rates and wonder if I could please get the prices in USD. And how much is the delivery?

The exchange rate between the euro and other currencies vary by the day. Roughly, the USD and the euro are on par.

If you look up any currency converter on the internet you can easily check today’s exchange rate.

Orders shipped outside of Europe are VAT exempt. However, the recipient may be charged VAT and customs fees by your national authorities depending on the country you live in and the value of your order.

We use flat shipping fees. For addresses within Finland the fee is €8,06 (inc 25,5 % VAT), within the European Union the fee is €7,10 (+ VAT of the country of purchase) and the shipping to other continents costs €12,50. The shipping fees within Europe include VAT at the level of the recipient country, which means that the final sum is confirmed when you register your country of delivery.

What size are the cards?

The cards come in two standard sizes, European A6 and A4. A6 measures 105 × 148 millimeters or 4.13 × 5.83 inches. A4 measures (210 mm × 297 mm or 8.27 in × 11.69 in).

Some cards come as greetings cards, as in double cards with envelopes, please look under the product group of “For the celebration”.

Does the pillow case come with a pillow?

No, it doesn’t.

How long will it be before I receive my order?

Orders are dispatched within three business days, often already on the same day. However, orders dispatched to addresses outside of the EU may require an extra day or two of processing due to the additional work with the documentation related to custom requirements.

We work Monday-Friday at 9.00–5.00 pm, GMT + 2, and orders are dispatched on a daily basis. The time of delivery depends on where you live. The delivery time for orders within Finland usually take 1-4 business days, within Europe it is between 3-5 business days whereas orders to other continents require 7-16 business days. However, we’ve noted that on occasion deliveries take longer. If your order has not arrived as you expected, please let us know. Larger shipments are traceable, and we will do our outmost to find out the whereabouts of your particular shipment. Please note that Inge Löök Oy Ab Ltd is not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes.

Please note that orders containing matches may require specific shipping to some countries, such as economy shipping. If so, this may add up to a week to the delivery time, again depending on what part of the world you live in. Unfortunately, we’re unable to ship matches to some destinations due to shipping restrictions on matches.

I’d like to purchase a painting by Inge Löök. What do I do?

Digital prints of Inge Löök’s art is mainly sold in connection to exhibitions. Alternatively, and upon agreement, these numbered and signed prints are available from our warehouse if you’d like to pick up your print in person. We do not ship framed prints by mail or delivery services. The reason is that this requires particular, troublesome and time consuming preparation of the paintings in such a manner that it is not reasonable for us. And yet, in the past, our experience is that despite our most sincere efforts, paintings have arrived damaged.

However, we have recently started to sell unframed signed and numbered digital prints shipped rolled up in a tube and so far both customers and we are happy with this option.

What’s more, we offer Inge Löök’s art on canvas and in poster size. For more information regarding processing times, prices and shipping alternatives of digital and canvas prints or posters, please send us a message via our Contact page.

Finally,

We carefully consider the valuable feedback we receive and continuously work hard on improving our work.
