Happy (Belated) New year!!!!!
We hope that everyone had great start to the year and hope that we are closer to the days where mask wearing is no longer required and we can all be free to spend precious time with our friends and families.
Until then, we will be here making quality masks that you can feel safe in.
We have been working on some accessories that can enhance the mask wearing experience. It isnt anything new, and it isnt anything uncommon, but we wanted apply our high quality production standards to these items, so it can match the quality of our masks.
Keep an eye out in next couple weeks, we should be uploading them soon as we are putting finishing touches.
Thank you as always
Have a great day and stay safe.

We have released a new series of masks called "The Grand".
It is our Flagship mask.
"The Grand" series will combine 2 layers of 100% silk chiffon and 1 layer of 1,000 thread count cotton.
It will follow the 3-layer construction of the NAKED CHIFFON series with silk chiffon layers on the outside and 1,000 tc cotton as an inner layer.
Outside design layer (100% silk chiffon) >> 100% silk chiffon middle layer >> 1,000 TC Cotton Inner layer
Based on our real world usage tests, We have noticed that "The Grand" series masks are more breathable than the NAKED CHIFFON series masks while having added protection that the 1,000 tc cotton provides.
It is currently available with the color choices of Gold, Pink, and Gray.
Feel free to message us if you have any questions.
Thank you as always.
Best regards,
Owen

We are in process of switching suppliers for the 600 TC Cotton that is used for our inner layer of our masks.
We had seen a decline in the quality of our previous supplier, so we have decided to test out new supplier for the 600tc cotton. We have auditioned handful of different suppliers and have decided on a couple suppliers. But we are still testing in process of testing suppliers until we can find the one that is able to provide consistent, good quality products.
We ask for understanding as you will notice some changes to the 600 tc cotton we are using.
They may be thicker than what we used previously.
Please be assured that we are making the changes so that the quality of our product will improve for the better.
Please message us if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you as always.
Best regards,

OUR STORE HAS REOPENED!!!!Please read on...
Thank you everyone that has been so patient with us being closed for the past week.
We have gotten tsunami of orders on the week of the July 12th that things were spiraling quickly out of control.
Now that we have caught up, we are implementing few changes to the way the shop is run to uphold our quality standards, and promote operational efficiency so that we can be here making good masks for you all without interruptions.
1. Weekly Quota
We will be implementing a quota on the number of masks that will be made per week.
As of current, we will placing a quota per week. This quota will vary week to week.
This is to ensure that our quality standards are upheld. Of course, we would love to sell more, but not with compromises of our quality. We want our mask to be the best mask you can buy on ETSY. This is why we are limiting the weekly available qty. This weekly qty may increase in the future, as we constantly look for ways to improve efficiency in every processes. Likewise, this number may decrease if we feel that the quality of our products is being compromised.
If you are looking for more qty of certain designs, please let me know as we may have more than listed qty. If we do have more, I will do my best to accommodate by adjusting the qty made available so that we can provide more for the particular design.
2. Shipping
Waiting on online orders suck!!
We have always strived to ship out the masks as quickly as possible. This will remain the same. We will always strive to ship out the qty of the week that week.
In the past we were able to ship out the next day, or even the same day, but with massive waves of orders, the ship date slipped to 2 full weeks. Limiting the weekly qty will resolve this issue as well, so that you can receive your masks as soon as possible when you order.
3. Filter Pocket
We will no longer offer filter pocket on the regular basis and will strictly be custom order option only. The process of making a filter pocket has proven itself to be highly inefficient and has created a bottleneck in the production.
If you must have the filter pocket, please message first and we will be able to arrange the filter pocket for you.
Please feel free to reach out to me via messages if you have any questions. I am always trying my best to answer all the questions as thoroughly and as quickly as possible, as many of you already know.
Thank you again and again everyone. We are truly grateful for all the love and attention you all have given us. We will respond by striving for our best with every masks that leaves our shop.
Have a great week and stay safe, wherever you are.
Best regards,
Owen

We have officially started offering 600 Thread Count Cotton & Dual Chiffon layer Masks!!
This new mask is produced based on the study done by University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratories. The study finds that a combination of Single 600 TC Cotton and Two Chiffon layers results one of the highest filtration effectiveness.
Choose the Dual Chiffon option in the pull down menu.
The filter pocket will not be made available at this time as we want to maximize the effectiveness of the chiffon layers.
