Frequently asked questions

Care instructions

Natural yarns require gentle care to maintain their quality. Avoid hot water and high-heat drying, as these can cause felting or fraying. Soak for a few minutes, gently squeeze (no rubbing), rinse, and use a quick machine spin if needed. Reshape while damp and air dry naturally. Avoid pegs to prevent stretching or marking the fibers.

Wholesale availability

Our garters and hosiery are handcrafted with care, not mass-produced, making each piece a unique creation that takes significant time. While we don’t offer wholesale in the traditional sense, we welcome inquiries. Please contact us—our team loves discussing custom opportunities with your representatives.

Gift wrapping and packaging

Every order is individually wrapped and presented as a ready-to-give gift, perfect for garters or hosiery. If you have a special request (e.g., custom notes), please let us know before checkout.

Custom and personalised orders

Need an outsize fit, cosplay design, or specific color? We’re delighted to accommodate a wide range of custom requests for our garters and select hosiery. Whether you envision a plus-size garter with extra stretch, a themed design for a historical reenactment or fantasy event, a bespoke shade to match your wedding palette, or a set with personalized embroidery (e.g., initials, dates), we’re here to bring your ideas to life. Seeking a garter with unique embellishments like lace overlays, ribbon ties, or vintage-inspired patterns? Or perhaps a custom length for thigh-highs or a garter belt style? Contact us with your details—size, color, theme, or special requests—and let’s discuss the possibilities to create a one-of-a-kind piece tailored ju

My parcel did not arrive.

All parcels are tracked with real-time updates. If your tracking number isn’t working, please contact me. Note: Due to past fraud attempts, I cannot refund orders marked as delivered by the carrier, per Etsy’s policy on disputed transactions.

Will my parcel be on time for Christmas?

We ship from the UK. Deadlines apply to all items except custom long solid socks. Local (UK) orders must be placed by December 20; international orders by December 10 for tracked delivery guarantees. For last-minute gifts, opt for a printable PDF card with a garter image (sent immediately, with your item following) or choose a gift voucher (custom amount), redeemable post-holiday.

How long will my socks a take to make?

Most garters and hosiery are ready-made, except for custom long solid socks. Wait times for these are about three weeks (February-August) or up to three months (September-January, peak season). Contact us early for gift options, including gift vouchers, to avoid delays.

Returned, undelivered, marked delivered parcels.

International postage costs are not covered. I may offer free reshipping as a goodwill gesture to valued customers at my discretion. Please verify your delivery address, as I cannot cover costs for returned, uncollected, or marked-delivered parcels.
