- Before you commit
What to expect before placing an order, including payment, production, timing, and responsibility boundaries. Before I commit What happens after checkout Payment is processed at checkout. An order is created once payment is accepted and the order is confirmed. You receive an order confirmation once the order is successfully created. Fulfillment & shipping timing All products listed on the website are already produced and in stock. Orders are typically prepared and handed over for shipping within 48 hours. During peak periods or public holidays, handling may take longer. When an order is considered shipped An order is considered shipped once it has been handed over to the carrier and scanned into the carrier’s system. Creating a shipping label does not always mean the package has been scanned yet. Tracking information usually becomes available within 24–48 hours after carrier handover. Responsibility We are responsible for preparing the order, handing it over to the carrier, and managing the shipment process. If issues occur during transit, we handle communication with the carrier on your behalf. Delivery timelines and outcomes may still be affected by external factors beyond our direct control. Customs, duties & taxes Customs duties and taxes depend on the destination country. Unless explicitly stated at checkout, these charges are not included in the product price and may be collected by customs or the carrier upon delivery. Legal rights before purchase Buyers in the European Union have a 14-day right of withdrawal starting from the day the goods are delivered. Information about this right, including how to exercise it, is available before checkout. Return to shop
- Carrying & Containment in Tunisian Objects | Basketry, Storage and Movement
Explore how Tunisian objects stabilize movement through balance, proportion, and material design. Carrying & Containment Stabilised through movement. Across Tunisia, many everyday objects are shaped by the need to move and store materials safely. Water must be carried. Food must travel between kitchen and table. Harvests move from fields to homes and markets. Household goods circulate between rooms and courtyards. Objects therefore develop forms that stabilize movement. Rather than relying on speed or force, they rely on balance, proportion, and repetition. Carrying and containment are not secondary functions added to objects. They are the starting conditions that shape their form. These relationships form part of Tunisian object culture , where everyday objects evolve directly from practical routines of movement and storage. Constraint logic Movement naturally destabilizes objects. When people walk, lift, pour, or transfer materials, weight shifts constantly. Containers must respond to these forces without spilling, breaking, or losing balance. Across many contexts, similar constraints appear: weight must remain centered as bodies move loads must settle before being released openings must allow access without inviting loss containers must withstand repeated use without deformation transfer must occur smoothly from one object to another These constraints shape form long before decorative considerations appear. They illustrate how everyday objects respond directly to the physical realities of movement. Circulation modes Different forms of circulation produce different container geometries. Grounded containment Some containers prioritize stability rather than mobility. Large jars and storage vessels often remain in one place. Their bases are wide and their mass sits low, preventing accidental movement. These objects anchor circulation rather than participate in it. Goods arrive, settle, and are released gradually. Human-carried transfer When objects move with the human body, proportion becomes critical. Containers must remain manageable for a single person. Their size responds to effort rather than maximum capacity. Handles, rims, and balanced shapes help distribute weight evenly. Examples include bowls, baskets, and vessels used to carry food or household goods. The object adjusts to the carrier, not the opposite. Suspended and paired loads When loads exceed individual strength, containers often divide into symmetrical pairs. Objects hang from poles, shoulders, or supports. Weight distributes evenly on both sides of the body. In these systems stability emerges from balance rather than reinforcement. The geometry of the container follows the logic of shared load. Rapid exchange Some containers are designed for quick transfer rather than long-term storage. They open wide, empty easily, and stack efficiently. Their value lies in repetition rather than durability. Trays, shallow baskets, and kitchen vessels often serve this role, allowing materials to circulate quickly through domestic space. Speed here remains controlled and practical rather than expressive. Materials in use Different materials appear where their physical properties support movement and containment. Plant fiber: Allows flexibility and airflow, making it well suited for baskets and containers used to carry produce or bread. Clay: Provides rigid containment and protects volume during storage or pouring. Animal fiber (wool): Conforms to objects and helps suspend or cushion materials. Wood and composite materials: Frame containers, support stacking, and absorb impact. Each material enters the system according to how it behaves under movement and weight. Explore Objects of Carrying & Containment These principles remain visible in everyday objects. Forms are shaped for lifting, holding, and controlled movement. Materials allow contents to be carried, protected, and transferred without disruption. These objects stabilize movement within daily life. Explore the collection

- Accessibility statement
Information on accessibility features and ongoing efforts to improve access to the My Chakchouka website. ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT Effective date: 5 Feb 2026 Last updated: 5 Feb 2026 My Chakchouka is committed to making its website accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of ability or technology. We aim to provide a clear, usable, and respectful experience for all visitors. Accessibility is an ongoing process. We design, build, and review our site with this responsibility in mind. Our approach to accessibility This website is built using Wix Studio, which provides accessibility-supporting features and tools. We use these tools alongside manual review and content practices to improve accessibility. Where reasonably possible, we aim to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. Measures we have implemented We have taken the following steps to support accessibility: Structure & navigation Pages are structured using semantic headings (one H1 per page, followed by logical H2/H3 levels). A “Skip to main content” link is available for keyboard users. Content follows a logical reading and focus order. Keyboard & focus Interactive elements are accessible by keyboard. Visible focus indicators are enabled to help users understand where they are on the page. Navigation has been tested using keyboard-only interaction. Text & visual design Text is written in clear, plain language. Color combinations are selected to meet minimum contrast requirements. Layouts avoid conveying essential information through color alone. Images & media Informative images include descriptive alternative text. Decorative images are marked appropriately. Video or audio content includes captions or transcripts where applicable. Forms We use Wix’s accessible form components with visible labels. Error messages are designed to be clear and informative. Forms are usable with assistive technologies where supported by the platform. Mobile accessibility Mobile layouts are reviewed to ensure readable text, sufficient spacing, and usable touch targets. Content is designed to adapt across screen sizes and orientations. Known limitations While we actively work to improve accessibility, some limitations may exist: Certain third-party applications or embedded tools may not fully meet accessibility standards. Some advanced custom interactions may have limited support for assistive technologies. Platform-level constraints may limit the ability to modify underlying HTML or ARIA attributes for some components. We continuously review and address issues where feasible. Feedback and contact If you experience difficulty accessing any part of this site or have suggestions for improvement, we want to hear from you. Contact: hello@mychakchouka.com Please include: the page URL, a description of the issue, the assistive technology used (if any). We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe and will make good-faith efforts to address reported issues. Ongoing review Accessibility is reviewed: when new content or features are added, after significant design changes, and periodically as part of site maintenance. This statement will be updated to reflect meaningful improvements or changes. Nothing in this statement limits rights you may have under applicable accessibility or consumer-protection laws. Our goal is practical inclusion, not symbolic compliance.
