As you know, the free shipping promotion runs until October 31. A big thank you to everyone who has already placed an order! Since I’ve received many questions about fit and print quality, I’d like to address them in this blog.

The Right Size

Our cuts are close-fitting, so if you’re between two sizes, it’s best to order the larger one. Here are some guidelines for achieving your desired style:

• Fitted: For a more form-fitting look, choose your usual size. This will keep the item close to the body.

• Comfortable: If you prefer a slightly looser fit, go one size up.

• Oversized: For an oversized look, I recommend ordering two to three sizes up.

Nice to Know About Direct-to-Garment Printing (DTG)

Many of you have asked how the designs are applied to the products and what makes the prints so special. With Direct-to-Garment printing, a specialized printer is used where, instead of paper, the fabric is loaded into the machine. The ink is printed directly onto the cotton fibers, creating vibrant colors and high detail precision. DTG allows for complex and color-rich designs that remain vivid even after multiple washes. Another advantage: the DTG printing process is more eco-friendly, as only the exact amount of ink needed is used, unlike other methods like screen printing, which often waste a lot of ink.

Proper Care

To keep your items looking great in color and shape, proper care is essential.

1. Washing and Spinning

Wash your items inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees to protect the colors and print. Higher temperatures can damage both the fabric and the print. Be sure not to wash light-colored items with dark laundry, as colors from dark items may transfer onto lighter ones. Spin your items at a low spin speed to protect the fibers and reduce shrinkage. Since all items are made of cotton, slight shrinkage after washing and drying is normal. The cuts are intentionally designed slightly larger to account for this shrinkage, as long as you stick to the recommended temperature.

2. Drying

It’s best to air dry the items. Using a dryer can strain the fibers and may cause further shrinkage. If you must use a dryer, select the gentle cycle at a low temperature.

3. Ironing

Always iron your items inside out to protect the print. Avoid ironing directly over the print, as this could damage the colors and details.

If the online shop seems too complicated, you can also place your order via DM on social media or through the contact form. The delivery time is approximately 5–10 business days.
