Delivery outside Dubai
Trove delivers handmade pieces across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. The delivery fee is AED 30 on orders of AED 200 and below, and free above. Every piece shows its own delivery time on its page: most arrive within 3–6 days, with transit itself taking 1–4 days once the maker has packed the piece. Made-to-order work takes longer and says so.
The returns policy is the same wherever you live: 15 days from delivery to ask for a return, with collection arranged by Trove. The Delivery & Returns page has worked examples.
Makers in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah
Trove is open to makers based in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, so the shop is not a Dubai shop with a long courier list. Potters in Khalifa City, textile makers in Al Ain Road studios, woodworkers in Sharjah's industrial areas and printmakers in Al Reem sell on the same terms as anyone in Al Quoz. Every maker is reviewed by a real person; see how curation works.
Services at your place
The Services Marketplace covers in-person creative services, from commissioned portraits and made-to-order pieces to styling, repairs and workshops, booked from customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Providers set their own service area, so a booking request from Abu Dhabi or Sharjah goes to providers who travel there or work remotely (a digital portrait does not care where you live).
Timing tips for Abu Dhabi and Sharjah
- Order early for dates. Delivery from a Dubai studio to Abu Dhabi usually adds a day compared with a Dubai address.
- Check the piece's own delivery line, not the general policy. A print on the shelf and a bowl made to order are different promises.
- Workshops and in-home services: say which emirate you are in when you book, so the provider can confirm travel.
What to buy first
If you are new to handmade, start with pieces you use every day and will notice: a set of hand-thrown mugs, a serving board, a cushion in a fabric nobody else has. Our guide to handmade ceramics covers what to look for, and handmade gifts in Dubai is as true in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
