IPHONE & SAMSUNG GALAXY CASES
What materials are your phone cases made of?
Where are your phone cases made?
Every Wanderlost & Found iPhone and Samsung Galaxy case is produced at our locations in the USA or EU.
Our iPhone & Samsung Galaxy cases are produced and ready for shipment within 2-5 business days of receiving your order.
Yes—we’ve made sure they fit perfectly. Both our iPhone and Samsung Galaxy cases have tough but flexible thermoplastic polyurethane sides, with precisely aligned cuts and holes that match your phone’s functions. And while those raised, see-through sides keep a very firm grip on your phone, they’re flexible enough to let you take the case on and off with every changing mood.
Our sleek and sturdy phone cases go above and beyond in to help protect your soul’s ‘external hard drive’. Their 0.5 mm raised bezel keeps your phone’s screen and camera from scratching on surfaces. And their solid wraparound construction will guard against dust, oil, and dirt.
Our phone cases are built to last, but they’re not invincible. Every Wanderlost & Found case will experience normal wear over time, but here are some tips to keep your new iPhone/Samsung case looking fresh and lustrous for as long as possible:
- To clean your phone case, remove your phone from the case first and clean the case with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Gently wipe the outside and the inside of the phone case.
- Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean the pone case.
- Don’t be afraid to store the case in a handbag or backpack with your keys, wallet, lip balm or magic wand, but it’s safest in a pocket, not tumbling around the main compartment with blunt, sharp or rough objects.
- Keep your phone case away from prolonged and intense sunlight, heat, and humidity.
PILLOWS
What materials are your pillows made of?
Where are your pillows produced?
All Wanderlost & Found pillows are printed, cut, and hand-sewn by our in-house team at locations in the USA and EU.
Our pillows are printed, precision cut, hand sewn and ready for shipment within 2-5 business days of receiving your order.
Our pillows are available in two sizes:
- Rectangular: 12×20″ (30.5×50.8cm)
- Square: 18×18″ (45.7×45.7cm)
How do you print photo realistic designs on your pillows?
Our standard process is the Direct to Garment (DTG) method of printing. We use Kornit and Brother GT 381 printers for all DTG printed products.Our DTG process is a sublimation printing technique. It delivers optimal results when printing photographic images on fabric, ensuring the clarity and luminosity of each pillow we produce.
What inks do we use to print on your pillows?
Our experience shows us that our Direct To Garment printed pillowcases are just as durable as screen printed pillowcases when it comes to their wearability over time. And the DTG sublimation technique we us means our pillowcases are more easily machine washable than those with screen printed designs, too.
In order for you to prolong the life of your Wanderlost & Found pillowcase, we suggest following these care instructions:
Use non-chlorine bleach, and only when necessary.
No fabric softeners.
Tumble dry low, or hang-dry for longest life.
A high-temperature dryer setting can shrink the garment, as well as damage the print.
Cool iron inside-out if necessary.
Do not iron decoration.
Do not dry clean.
IMPORTANT: Do not wash the pillow’s insert—only the pillowcase. Washing the insert will significantly affect its shape and consistency.
TABLE LINENS
What materials are your table linens made of?
Our napkins and placemats are made from 100% organic cotton—sustainably grown without the use of genetically modified seeds or synthetic pesticides.
- Farmers are free to save seed and choose what they grow—GMO seeds developed by large corporations are often bred to last a single season, which means farmers must keep buying new seeds because their crops are not self-sustaining.
- GMO seeds require more energy and water to grow—producing organic cotton produces up to 94% less greenhouse gases and dramatically reduces pollution from water run-offs.
- Hazardous pesticides are banned in organic cotton farming, making it safer for growers.
Where are your table linens made?
Our table linens were produced exclusively in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Cocktail napkin: 5.9×5.9″ / 15x15cm
How were the designs on your table linens printed?
The images on our cocktail napkins, lunch napkins and placemats were all screen printed by hand just outside Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Wanderlost & Found table linens are built to last, but they’re not invincible. Every piece of Wanderlost& Found table linen will experience normal wear over time, but here are a few tips to keep them looking fresh and vibrant for as long as possible:
Do not use fabric softeners.
Do not tumble dry.
Iron at a medium setting if necessary, and always iron with the front of the napkin facing down.
Do not dry clean.

What materials are your totes made of?
Where are your totes produced?

Our tote bags with photographic prints are 15″ x 15″. That’s 38.1cm x 38.cm.
How strong are the tote bags?
Our tote bags with photographic prints can hold up to 33lbs (15kg). So you can fill them with groceries, books, your laptop, bottles of water or wine… even a jumbo crystal ball stuffed with parallel realities.
Our tote bags with photographic designs are printed on the front and back using a sublimation printing technique. That means every inch of these tote bags are covered in graphics that are clear, sharp and luminous.

Is your wall art really museum quality?
Every one of our fine art prints is produced and manufactured to archival grade, delivering incredible detail and resolution with a proprietary inkjet receptive coating that deliversoff-the-chart dmax and color gamut numerical readings. When cared for correctly they should remain bright and bold for 100 years or more.
We print exclusively on Breathing Color’s Optica One acid-free papers, which help prevent yellowing over time. They are also fingerprint resistant, water resistant, instant drying and thick enough to help prevent cockling.
We print exclusively with Epson’s museum-quality, UltraChrome HDX ink-jet technology, which produces a wider range of vivid colours, richer blacks and denser shadowed areas than Epson’s HD-R ink-jets. The HDX ink-set combined with our Epson printers can achieve 99% accuracy of Pantone colours — the highest on the market.
Each Wanderlost & Found fine art print is produced on demand & ships globally from our location in Canada.

How long will my wall art last?

POSTERS
Every Wanderlost & Found poster is produced and manufactured to archival grade. That means they’re museum quality—when cared for correctly they should remain bright and bold for 25 years or more.
How should I care for my wall art?
• Use both hands and support the back of the poster when picking it up.
• Never attempt to rub the surface of the image with your finger or fingernail as this could scratch the surface of the print.
• Do not write on the back of the poster. Inks and pens can penetrate the surface and damage the item. Use a soft pencil (B grade) instead.
CLEANING
• Never use cleaning products or water as this may permanently damage the print.
GLAZING
• Glass is best. It is inexpensive, easy to cut, chemically inert, and resistant to scratches.
FRAMING
• We do not recommend that you use glues, sprays or adhesive tapes on your photographs to secure them in a frame. Archival quality corner mounts are the best method of securing your prints.
HANGING
• Never hang your print in direct sunlight, regardless of the type of glazing or frame that’s used. Colour photographs are more vulnerable and will fade faster than black-and-white.
• Avoid extreme fluctuations in moisture and temperature. Heat can speed up the degradation of the paper. And if humidity is high then be on the lookout for mould.
How should I light my wall art?
Make every attempt to keep the amount of light even across the entire image. If that’s not possible, make sure the centre of the image is well lit.
Direct lighting
• Direct lighting is most often used in homes and galleries.
• Direct lighting should be mounted high above the print so that it does not create glare at the viewing angle.
• A track lighting configuration is simple, elegant and easy to change should you decide to re-arrange your prints.
• We suggest low voltage MR-16 Halogen spot (not flood) bulbs which are available everywhere.A 50 Watt is sufficient if the fixture is 8 feet or less from the print.Use 75 Watt bulbs if the print is further away.
• Be sure to get fixtures which have a glass UV filter in front of the Halogen bulb. The UV filter reduces the high UV emission of the light to acceptable levels. The front glass also protects people from glass splinters in the unlikely event that the bulb were to fail.
• Use a sufficient number of lights on each print to achieve your own desired effect. Some recommendations for a starting point:One fixture is sufficient for 8″x10″ to 16″x20″ prints.Two fixtures are good for 16″x20″ to 24″x30″.
• Dimmers can be very helpful in creating just the right effect. Note that most low voltage lighting systems require a special electronic dimmer. Electronic dimmers are widely available from major manufacturers to match your existing wall switches.
