About Us

Frequently

Asked

Questions

  • Each item shows the measurements that are needed.

    While we will usually need bust/waist/hip measurements; some items may require length or other measurement info.

  • Yes, an order can be expedited by adding the “expedite my item” product to your cart along with the item you would like to purchase. Expediting an item guarantees that it will be shipped within 7 business days from the time the order is placed. If purchasing more than one item each item will need to have an accompanying “expedite my item” product added to the cart. For example if you are ordering three items and want them all expedited then you must add the “expedite my item” to your cart three times.

    The cost to expedite an item is $20.

  • We create our garments using natural fibers with the most common fabric being wool.

  • No. Wool processing has come a long way and modern day practices create a wool fabric that is much more soft and gentle on the skin than older wool processing techniques.

    We utilize 100% virgin wool (the softest wool available) as often as possible.

  • If your item is hand-stitched or contains hardware (e.g., buttons, eyelets, or clasps) please spot clean only.

    If your item does not contain hardware you may wash on delicate cycle in cold water and lay flat to dry. Please wash sparingly.

  • Orders typically take 7-14 days to be shipped from date of order.

    Within 24 hours of the item being shipped you will receive a tracking number.

  • We create our pieces using deadstock fabrics, mill ends, thrifted textiles, and other reclaimed materials that would otherwise go to waste. Each garment is made with intention and sustainability at its core. Because we work with limited and often unique materials, some fabrics are available only in small batches—or even as a single, one-off creation. If you love something, we recommend grabbing it before it’s gone.

  • Purchasing 4 or more items at once automatically applies a 10% discount to the entire order.
