Frequently Asked Questions
What makes each piece unique?
Every item is made from reclaimed textiles, meaning no two are alike. The materials I work with all have different histories—some are soft and worn-in, others more structured or like-new. Variations in texture, color, and weight are completely natural and part of what gives each piece its character.
These differences aren’t flaws—they’re what make your piece one of one.
How do drops work?
New pieces are released in small batches, or “drops,” every few weeks to every couple of months. Each drop is announced ahead of time with a specific launch date.
You’ll be able to preview the full collection 24–48 hours before it goes live, including pricing, sizing, and measurements. Once a piece sells out, it won’t be restocked.
Where can I buy?
All items are available exclusively through the website during scheduled drops. Because quantities are limited, pieces tend to go quickly. For updates on upcoming releases, join the email list or follow along on social media.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing reflects both the cost of sourcing materials and the time it takes to design and construct each piece. Since everything is made individually, prices may vary depending on the fabric and level of detail involved.
What sizes do you offer?
Most pieces are available in sizes Small through X-Large, with plans to expand.
Each item is made from secondhand materials, sizing can depend on the amount of usable fabric available. Detailed measurements are always provided—please review them carefully before purchasing.
Do you offer custom orders?
Not right now. Hopefully soon!
Where do your materials come from?
All materials are sourced secondhand from thrift stores, vintage shops, consignment stores, and online resale platforms. The goal is to extend the life of existing textiles and reduce waste through reuse.
What is cyanotype?
Cyanotype is an alternative photographic process that dates back to the 1800s.
A light-sensitive solution is applied to fabric, then layered with botanicals or objects and exposed to UV light. The exposed areas develop into rich blue tones, creating detailed, one-of-a-kind prints shaped by light, time, and natural forms.
Shipping
Orders are typically processed and shipped within 2–3 business days. Shipping is available within the U.S.
Returns & exchanges
All sales are final.
Due to the one-of-a-kind nature of each piece, returns and exchanges are not offered. Please review all measurements and product details carefully before purchasing.
If there’s an issue with your order, feel free to reach out.
Repairs
These pieces are designed to be worn, used, and appreciated over time. Because many of the materials are vintage, hand-dyed, and hand-printed, subtle variations and imperfections are part of their character.
If your piece ever needs repair, feel free to reach out—repairs are offered on original items whenever possible. Most, if not all, of the materials used are upcycled and one of a kind, so exact reproductions aren’t possible. Repairs will be completed using similar materials or thoughtfully chosen patches when needed.
Repair pricing: You are responsible for the cost of shipping the item to me, and I will cover the return shipping back to you.
Care Instructions (General)
Each item is made from a mix of reclaimed fabrics and should be treated with care.
- Spot clean when you can
- Hand wash in cold water if needed
- Use a gentle detergent
- Lay flat or hang to dry
Machine washing and drying can cause shrinking or distortion, so it’s best to avoid it when possible.
Cyanotype Care Instructions
Cyanotype prints are more delicate and benefit from a gentler approach.
- Wash only when necessary
- Turn garments inside out before washing
- Hand wash in cold water using a mild, phosphate-free soap (such as Dr. Bronner’s)
- Avoid bleach, OxiClean, borax, baking soda, washing soda, and powdered detergents, as they can affect the print
- Air dry or tumble dry on low heat
- Keep out of direct sunlight while drying
Over time, the print may soften or shift slightly in tone—this is a natural part of the process. If fading occurs, a diluted hydrogen peroxide bath can help restore contrast.
Be mindful that oils from skin and sweat can also impact the print over time.
Like all natural processes, cyanotype continues to evolve. Changes in color are expected and part of what makes each piece unique.
