on materials & making

✦ Where are your pieces actually made? — a curious reader

♡

the diary writes back —

In a small studio, a few at a time, by people whose names I actually know.

✦ Why do restocks take so long? — someone waiting on a restock

♡

the diary writes back —

Because we don't make things until we're sure they're right. Slow is sort of the point.

on sizing & fit

✦ Should I size up? — someone between sizes

♡

the diary writes back —

If in doubt, go up. Everything's cut to be worn, not just photographed.

on shipping & care

✦ How do I take care of this? — a new owner

♡

the diary writes back —

Gently. Cold water, no dryer, and it'll outlast most trends.
