Frequently asked questions
  • Do you pay for press coverage or editorial mentions?
    No. We do not pay for editorial features, interviews or “guaranteed coverage”. We’re happy to provide information, samples and photography, but prefer to keep coverage fully independent.
  • Can you ship samples for review or shoots?
    For genuine press, creator or partnership requests, we can send a curated sample box subject to availability and timelines. Please mention your location, audience and a link to previous work when you write to us.
  • What’s the best way to pitch a collaboration?
    Email a crisp note to partners@chutneywalas.com with what you have in mind, rough timelines, and links to your brand or portfolio. We prioritise ideas that feel natural to our customers and product line.
  • Do you work with agencies?
    We do work with select agencies across PR, design and performance marketing, but prefer lean, senior-led teams. If you’re writing as an agency, highlight specific ways you can add value beyond generic “brand awareness”.
