My size is out of stock, what can I do?
Our designers often make small batches of their garments to ensure they are abiding by sustainable practices. This means unfortunately they rarely come back in stock (which is what makes them so unique and special!). However, we can occasionally source more items, so please reach out to our team via livechat with the styles and designer and we would be happy to check for you. Some of our designers are made-to-order, which means they are made specifically for you and don't rely on stock quantities, meaning that they can be purchased year round.
Can I reserve an item to buy later?
As our designers offer smaller, limited quantity runs, we aim to provide a fair opportunity to shop our most in-demand styles to all and unfortunately don't offer reservations.
What does made-to-order mean?
Made-to-order means that the garment will be made specifically for you when you purchase. This helps our brands create less waste, and more of the things you love.
What does made-to-measure mean?
Made-to-measure means that the garment will be made specifically to your specified measurements (supplied on the product page when purchasing). This means the process is designed to make sure our garments will be an ideal fit for you, regardless of universal sizes. Unfortunately we cannot accept returns on these products
