Product & materials
Are your pieces really handmade?
Yes. Every single piece is designed, made and finished by hand by Roberta in London. Because of this, small variations in colour, bead size and shape are normal: they're part of the character of handmade work, not a fault.
What are the small charms on each piece?
Every Roberta phone strap carries three signature details in PVD-coated stainless steel: a bead engraved with the Roberta name, a heart charm engraved with "LOVE" on one side and the peace symbol on the other, and an evil eye charm with a gold PVD finish on one side and hand-enamelled on the other.
Are your pieces suitable for sensitive skin? Do they contain nickel?
Our signature charms are made from PVD-coated stainless steel, which complies with UK and EU limits on nickel release and is suitable for most sensitive skin. If you have a known nickel allergy, please email us at info@roberta-gobobbylondon.com before ordering and we'll be happy to help.
Will my piece rust?
No. Our materials are chosen to resist rust, so your piece keeps looking the same over time.
How do I care for my piece?
Acrylic and silicone pieces can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. For crochet pieces, gently spot-clean the cotton with a damp cloth and let it dry flat: please don't put them in the washing machine. Avoid harsh chemicals, perfume and long exposure to water to keep the colours and finish looking their best.
How to wear them
Can I wear my phone strap in other ways?
Yes, every phone strap is multifunctional. Unclip the phone tab and a short strap becomes a necklace, a bag charm or a trousers chain, while a long strap becomes a long necklace, a belt, a bag charm or a trousers chain.
How do I attach the phone strap to my phone?
Each phone strap comes with a thin tab that sits between your phone and its case, with the loop coming out through the opening for the charging port. Once your phone is back in its case, the strap holds securely and you're ready to go.
Are your pieces suitable for children?
Our mother-daughter sets are designed to be worn by children too. Please note that all our pieces contain small parts and are a potential choking hazard: they are not suitable for children under 3, and we recommend adult supervision whenever a child is wearing or handling them.
Orders & shipping
How long does it take to ship my order?
Pieces in stock are packed and dispatched within 1 to 3 working days of your order. Because everything is handmade, if a piece needs a little extra time we'll email you before it ships. Tracked delivery then usually takes 1 to 3 working days in the UK and 2 to 5 working days to the EU and Switzerland.
How much does delivery cost?
UK delivery is free on orders of £100 or more and £5.99 on orders under £100. Tracked delivery costs £27.99 to the European Union and £19.99 to Switzerland. The delivery cost is always shown at checkout before you pay.
Do you ship internationally? Will I pay customs duties?
Yes, we ship to the UK, all European Union countries and Switzerland. For EU orders, import VAT and any customs duty are included at checkout, so there's nothing to pay on delivery. For Switzerland, import VAT, duties and the carrier's clearance fee are paid to the carrier on delivery. See our Shipping Policy for details.
Can I pay cash on delivery?
No, we don't offer cash on delivery. All orders are paid at checkout through our secure payment methods.
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes. Our Roberta Gift Card is sent by email and can be used on anything in the shop.
