Disclaimers
Colour Variation Disclaimer
Please note actual printed colours may vary.
It's important to note that they may look slightly different on a printed product than what you see on your monitor/screen. This is due to inconsistencies of various monitors/screens, lighting sources, digital photography and that everyone sees these colours differently.
I cannot guarantee that the colours you see will accurately reflect the true colours when printed.
Mock-up Disclaimer
Some images of products on this website are digital mock-ups. They are shown to give you a general idea of how the product will look and are not 100% accurate.
The size and placement of the designs on the final product may not match exactly as shown in the mock-ups. The cut and fit of clothing may differ from what is shown in the mock-ups.
Due to the settings of various device (such as brightness and contrast) and the digital printing technology, the colours you see in the final product may differ from what is shown in the mock-ups.
Thank you for your understanding!

Preorder Information
What is a Preorder?
Preorder rounds are run every month. Usually from the 25th to the 10th of the following month.
Once preorder round has closed, order information will be collated and an order placed with the printer(s). This process takes approx. 5 days.
After order information has been checked and approved, it is added to the printing queue. This process takes 5-6 weeks.
I check all fabric for any printing flaws and start processing orders and booking courier collection.
