Certain products will be available to pre-order. 

We have made this decision to try out a more sustainable way for fashion and we hope it will help us to avoid overproduction but we do need you to be open for it too. Help us to show that there are better ways for fashion. It is a slower process but we'll make sure it's worth the wait. Thanks for your support. Make sure you sign up for the newsletter so we can keep you posted about the order process.

You will place an order and it will be sent to you as soon as the custom-made item is ready to be shipped. You will be updated and notified over every step via mail, newsletter, and/or website. The expected shipping time will be shown in the description. Please be aware, that this communicated date is no guarantee.

1. Pre-orders are possible until a certain timeline that will be communicated (usually around 2-3 weeks)
2. The pre-order option will be closed (i.e. after 2 weeks)
3. Products will be ordered (Usually it takes 2-8 weeks, depending on the product)
4. Products will be shipped. You'll receive a notification with tracking ID.

Note: Some items will be produced quicker than others. Due to the ongoing Ukrainian war, the energy crises and Covid, we can not estimate anything more precise but you can be sure that we will give our best and that it will be worth the wait.
