FAQ

All items are made to order. This means time is needed to get your items to you. Fulfillment times are as follows:

• Retail and samples can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to complete and arrive.
• Wholesale can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending on what you order.
• Please allow an additional 1-2 weeks during our busy season (April-June and October-December) and when specialty materials or items are requested.
• Custom items take the longest to fulfill, since we do not order the custom fabric until your order has been paid for in full.

Please keep these fulfillment times in mind as you plan for your product releases or restocking.

All items under the "Custom" category can either be customized by fabric color, add logos, or an all-over print.

All over prints are created with a direct printing process or sublimation. This process makes the print a part of the fabric and will not crack, peel, or fade the way that vinyl or screen printing may do and will last the life of the product.

Smaller logos are added with a DTF process that provides a long lasting and high quality image.

If you have a design in mind that you do not currently see on our site, you can request for us to create, prototype, and then mass produce your new items. A minimum of 100 items per order is required for new custom designs that are not regularly listed on our site. Click here to place your custom design order.

White-Label items are blank and unbranded items that can be brought as-is and may be customized by you or an outside custom shop. You can also add product cards or packaging to make these items yours.

Private-Label items are items that we continuously create, but can have a design, phrase, or logo added to them to fit your brand.

These items are still made to order but the fulfillment time is faster than custom, because we keep these fabric colors in stock in our studio.

Custom items provide more customization options, like color, style, and even the print or content of the fabric.

Custom items take the longest to arrive because we order the fabric for these items after they are ordered. We DO NOT keep custom prints in stock.

All items can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to create, since most items are made-to-order. During our busy season (October-December) we will create white-label items ahead of ordering to increase our shipping speed to serve the increased demand that comes at that time.
