Three quality tiers
Every catalogue piece carries one of three labels, so you can shop within your budget and know what you are getting.
| Tier | What it means |
|---|---|
| Everyday | Simple, well-made basics: inner tops, plain skirts, solid dresses. Lighter fabrics and less handwork. |
| Signature | Printed and themed pieces from the brands we work with, with lace, bows and adjustable lacing. |
| Premium | The most elaborate pieces: layered lace tiers, boning, detachable details, heavier fabrics. |
The tier describes the construction, not just the price. Filter by tier on the catalogue page.
How catalogue prices are set
A catalogue price is the studio's current price, plus delivery to our warehouse, converted to US dollars, plus our margin. That margin pays for the size check, inspection photos, storage, packing and handling any problem with the studio. It is one number so you do not have to add anything up. If the brand changes its price before you order, we tell you in the quote.
What is not included
- International shipping. It depends on the real weight and the line you choose, so we quote it after packing. See shipping and duties.
- Import duties and taxes in your country, unless you choose a line where they are prepaid.
- Brand price changes after the quote, which are rare and always shown to you first.
When a refund is due
If a brand cancels a pre-order, cannot supply your size, or the item arrives damaged and the brand will not replace it, you receive the item price and our fee back. Details on the returns page.
