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. 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. Pieces are limited to one of one in most cases.
For updates on upcoming releases, join the email list or follow along on social media.
Sizing Information
I currently offer sizes Small- X-Large.
Because each garment is handmade from secondhand and reclaimed materials, sizing can vary depending on the amount and type of fabric available for each piece. For this reason, every product listing includes both the letter sizing and detailed flat measurements.
All measurements are taken with the garment lying flat, making it easy to compare them with a similar item you already own. Please review these measurements carefully and double-check them before purchasing to ensure the best fit and avoid any surprises.
Do you offer custom orders?
Not right now. Hopefully soon!
Where do your materials come from?
Most of my 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.
While I do try to get as much as I can second hand there are things such as my printing ink, thread and batting that I get from Michales. I also currently get my bias tape and buttons from Amazon.
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.
Once your order has been shipped, it is in the hands of the postal service or delivery carrier. While I take great care in packaging each item and getting it on its way promptly, delivery times may vary depending on your location and carrier delays.
You will receive tracking information once your package has been dispatched so you can follow its journey to your doorstep.
Returns & exchanges
Since these items are handmade, one of a kind, and produced in small batches, returns and exchanges are not offered.
Please carefully review product descriptions, photos, and measurements before purchasing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me before placing an order.
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 handmade from a carefully selected mix of pre-loved and reclaimed textiles, making every piece unique and one of a kind. Due to the nature of upcycled fabrics, please handle your garment with care to help preserve its beauty, texture, and shape.
• Spot clean minor stains when possible by gently dabbing the area with a damp cloth.
• If a full wash is needed, hand wash gently in cold water using a mild detergent.
• Avoid machine washing whenever possible, as it may cause shrinking, stretching, or distortion.
• Do not tumble dry or iron.
• After washing, gently reshape the garment and lay it flat on a towel or hang it to air dry.
With proper care, your handmade piece will continue to be loved and worn for years to come.
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.
