Caring for your wearable art
How should I wash my customized clothing?
To preserve the artwork, turn the garment inside out before washing. Use cold water (30° C or lower) on a delicate cycle. Hot water can crack paint and warp delicate threads.
What cleaning products should I avoid?
Avoid using bleach and fabric softeners, as these can damage the custom artwork and fabric integrity.
How should I dry my custom clothing?
Air dry your custom pieces flat to maintain their shape and prevent damage to the artwork. Avoid using a dryer if possible.
Can I iron directly on the artwork?
Never iron directly on the artwork. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out and use a low heat setting, or place a thin cloth over the artwork.
How often should I wash my wearable art?
Wearable art doesn't need to be laundered after every use. Spot-clean minor smudges with a damp cloth and mild soap to extend the life of the item and preserve the design.

Custom design process
What is the process for a custom design?
The custom design process begins with a consultation where you share your ideas. We then create a design concept for your approval. Once approved, we move to production. Visit our Custom Order Process page for a detailed breakdown.
Can I change my design after placing the order?
Design changes may be possible within a limited timeframe after the initial concept approval and before production begins. Significant changes may incur additional fees. Please contact us as soon as possible if you wish to make changes.
What is the turnaround time for custom products?
The turnaround time for custom products varies depending on the complexity of the design and our current workload. Typically, it ranges from [[custom_design_min_weeks]] to [[custom_design_max_weeks]] weeks from final design approval to shipping. We will provide a more precise estimate during your consultation.
