Process

I make my work using fiber-reactive dyes. Fiber-reactive dyes bond with natural fibers (such as cotton, linen, rayon, and silk) at a molecular level, becoming a part of the fabric through a fixing process. This is different than painting with acrylic or fabric paint which sits on the surface - the color becomes embedded (meaning the color is not crusty/thick on the surface). The dyes are permanent, and will not fade unless left in direct sun or with excessive washing.

Care Instructions

Dyed & painted pieces should be washed in cold water with similar or darker colors. For the first few washes, you might want to wash alone to ensure no excess dye transfer to lighter color pieces. Clothes can be either tumble dried low or hung dried, depending on the material. Air dry is gentlest for spandex-blend clothes, but heartier fabrics like 100% cotton are totally fine on a low heat dryer.

Shipping

I ship the cheapest way possible! T-shirts & long-sleeves are around $5 via USPS first class mail. Sweatshirts & sweatpants are ~$9 flat rate via USPS (if I can successfully fit them - very stuffed - in a padded envelope!). Sets fit into a $15.50 flat rate medium size box. Willing to arrange free pick-up for LA folks from my garage in Glassell Park or my studio in West Adams for bulky purchases only - please email me.

Tax

My website automatically charges sales tax for fellow folks in California, sorry!!

Returns/Exchanges

My return policy is “if you don’t love it and can’t rehome it to a friend, let me know!” You must reach out within 7 days for returns/exchanges! I can send you a prepaid shipping label for $5 and will refund you for the item once I receive it and confirm that it's in original condition. Please check measurements before ordering. If your item has a defect, please email me and we’ll figure it out! :) I really want you to love and wear what you buy, and I don't want fear of it not fitting to hold you back from trying! But this is NOT Amazon, so please don't order a bunch of items planning to return all or most of them - that won't fly! <3

Fit/sizing

Happy to answer questions via email about size & fit of available items - just send a message! Each item is rinsed, washed, and tumble-dried after my painting process and will not shrink further. Items can be washed with other laundry but I recommend cold washing and hang drying of Cordelia tops, bras & bike shorts to prevent unnecessary pilling of cotton. 100% cotton shirts, hoodies & sweatpants can be washed in warm or cool water and tumble-dried. These items are made of thick, durable cotton. They definitely stretch out a bit with wear and tighten up in the wash - so if they’re a little snug or stiff initially, wear them around to break them in!

Custom orders

My capacity for custom orders fluctuates, so please reach out to inquire! Let me know what item you'd like dyed/painted, the material composition, what you're thinking for the design, and budget. If it's a good fit, I'll get back to you ASAP!
