THE STORY BEHIND
Hearlded by a clap of thunder, a large black dog the size of a calf and with burning eyes, burst through the doors of St Mary’s Church Bungay, Suffolk, the summer of August 4th, 1577. In a devilish frenzy the hellhound tore down the aisle through the villagers hiding from the raging storm outside, slaughtering a man and young boy with his teeth and claws. Then, as suddenly as he had appeared, he vanished, taking off once more into the storm, the steeple collapsing in his wake
.He swiftly moved on to the church of Blythburgh where he mauled yet more people and his claw marks, scorched into the door, can be seen to this day. Over the years there have been many sightings of the creature through East Anglia. Sometimes he is recorded as having appeared headless, and at others as floating on a carpet of demonic mist.
Whatever form he chooses to take, locals call the beast ‘Black Shuck’.

PRE-ORDERS WILL BE POSTED ON OCTOBER 13TH
UNITED KINGDOM
Please allow three business days for your purchase to be packaged and posted. Bank holidays may add an extra couple of days, but usually, I am able to ship things out sooner.
Scarves will ship within the UK via Royal Mail Special Delivery and are fully insured. You will receive a tracking number via email once the parcel is posted.
Special Delivery requires a signature upon delivery, so please make sure somebody will be available to sign for the parcel.
INTERNATIONAL
For international orders, Royal Mail’s international tracked and signed service is used. This has a delivery estimate of 5 - 7 working days and will require a signature upon delivery. This service can only be insured up to a £250 value, so if you wish to make a more valuable order please get in touch and we can discuss courier services. Once the item has left the UK, it will be handled by the recipient country’s postal service and I will not be able to get any further information from Royal Mail. Therefore if there are any issues with delivery, you will need to contact your local post office.
Any customs fees that may be charged are not included in shipping costs (see below). Additionally, international order delivery times have the potential to be delayed by customs processing, the length of which can vary.
CUSTOMS FEES
For international orders, you may be charged customs fees or import duties depending on your country's rules. These charges are not covered by my shipping charges and I am not responsible for any customs or duties charges incurred. Before placing an order I recommend checking your local customs rules and costs for receiving goods shipped from the UK.
Please note, sometimes people do not receive the notifications that an item is being held at customs until the fees are paid, so please keep an eye on your tracking number once you receive it - you may need to call the post office with your tracking number to settle the payment and arrange delivery, as items are returned to sender if not paid promptly.
