Each year hundreds of children in North America are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes - UNLIKE Type 2, Type 1 Diabetes is autoimmune disorder which occurs mostly in young children or teens and cannot be prevented or cured with a healthy lifestyle or diet.
Our baby boy was only 9 months old when he developed type 1 Diabetes. What we thought was a bad case of flu turned out to be an onset of diabetic coma. Now he requires 4-6 insulin injections every day to survive and has to have his blood tested for glucose levels every 3-4 hours around the clock for the rest of his life. Fortunately, some of the brightest minds of our time like Dr. Faustman of The Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital are working on a cure right now and hopefully will get one in Sammy's lifetime. Please get involved, educate yourself and spread the word to others:

4 out of 5 starsCustomer service was good. Robe is a little under my expectation. Was hoping it would be less frumpy looking on than other robes. The fleece nap is only partly around neck and is not big enough for the size of the robe thought it would be fuller but still nice. The fabric is all very nice and cozy. I am 5ft 9in 180 lbs and I ordered the Large and Tall and it is too big for me. I will have to take it in myself...which is sort of a bummer. nice overall

2 out of 5 starsNot as warm and cozy or elegant as I’d expected. Gapes at neckline so is drafty. And the belt loops are attached just above the pockets (almost 3” below my natural waistline) which makes the gaping worse. Disappointed. NOT worth the price.

Customer thought this would be a TOWEL terry robe. But french terry is not towel terry. Also we don’t recommend to order a size larger like this customer did - our robes are true to size and should be ordered in the size corresponding in our chart. Providing measurements and requesting a complimentary swatch kit prior to ordering further increases the chance of getting your garment just the way you envision it. 🌷🥰

5 out of 5 starsLove it, very soft luxurious fabric and perfect fit! I requested a larger hood and it’s generous and drapes beautifully. Took about 3 months, but I ordered it during Xmas, so I knew it would be a longer turnaround. I highly recommend.

1 out of 5 starsNever received very disappointing little communication.

Econica responded on Mar 30, 2021
The customer posted the review above 8 minutes after the one and ONLY message we ever received from her where she was enquiring about her order. Had she given us a little more than 8 minutes time to reply we would have had a chance to track it for her and to tell her that her package has been at her local post office for the past 2 days waiting to be picked up. The package was delivered 11 days after it was shipped - well within the required by Canada Post international delivery time.

5 out of 5 starsFinally a robe that looks great, is comfortable and well made! The sizing is generous so recommend providing your measurements. Seller has been fabulous to work with and I could not be more in love with this robe. Seriously the nicest robe I’ve ever found.

1 out of 5 starsSeveral months to receiving (March 1st) from order placement (November 30th), disappointed with communication about this from seller, item representation difference and quality. Buyer beware. I am sure there may be a retort disputing this based on other current reviews but rest assured this is an honest and sadly disappointed review. I had such high hopes based on the (at the time) great reviews when I ordered in November. The more unhappy reviews are true.

The quality issue: the customer did not specify the length and was disappointed the dress was shorter than expected. We learned about it AFTER she left this review when we reached out to her. The customer did not communicate about it at all prior to this review. Our turnaround is 8 weeks plus 3-4 weeks for international shipping so 3 months altogether. The customer received her order exactly 3 months after placing it. We always respond and address any concerns our customers may have right away. There was ZERO communication from this customer unfortunately.

5 out of 5 starsThis bra is amazing. Fits very well, and is so comfortable. It is nicer than a sports bra, fits nicely, looks nice. Thank you! It was worth the wait.

5 out of 5 starsThis was by far the nicest lingerie splurge! Superb quality, beautiful fiber, and excellent craftsmanship. This set fits perfectly.
I highly recommend. Like most handmade items, it does take a little while, but good things come to those who wait :-) -

1 out of 5 starsHello. I purchased a robe from you.
I figured I'd get 1/2 in shrinkage but not 3+in in the arms and 6+in length. If I would know if have had it adjusted for shrinkage.
It's no longer my size? I ordered from you because you measured and did custom fit. I wouldn't of bought a robe without a presrunk fabric. My bad.
I know I'm stuck with this. And now I'm on the search for a custom fitted robe again.
Possibly pre wash your custom measured items before so they stay true to what we thought we were getting.
Please?![Econica]()
Econica responded on Mar 1, 2021
Thanks for your feedback. We recommend to include your height or to specify the length for your garment so we can adjust the pattern to account for shrinking. But like I said in the message - please don not tumble dry your new garment on HOT setting. It will definitely shrink. Moderate to low heat only.

Organic lingerie.
Our story...
When buying from an artist/maker, you are buying more than just an object/painting. You are buying hundreds of hours of failures and experimentation. You are buying days, weeks & months of frustration and moments of PURE JOY. YOU AREN'T JUST BUYING A THING, you are buying a piece of heart, part of soul, a moment of someone's life. Most importantly, you are buying the artist more time to do something they are passionate about.
Using as many organic and responsibly produced fabrics as possible, we strive to keep our collections small and beautifully unique, without compromising the luxury and the outstanding quality of Econica's garments. Each and every piece of our organic apparel, lingerie or cashmere line is carefully designed and meticulously created by hand right here in Ontario, Canada. By offering you custom tailored, and many times one of a kind pieces, we want women to look beautiful when they wear our clothing, while feeling good about the way it was made.

COLORS & FABRICS: our fabrics come in different weight/density depending on color and season. Please contact us BEFORE placing your order with your color choice if you would like to know which weight fabric we will be using for your order. If you picked a trim color NOT listed or did not pick one at all - we will pick straps and trims colors to coordinate with your garment to the best of our abilities.

To ensure a better ( but not guaranteed) fit please include your measurements along with your general size: chest, waist, hip circumference, shoulder width, arm length and height. A complimentary fabric swatches can be requested to confirm the colors as well. Because of the handmade nature of each garment overall and sleeve length indicated in each listing is very approximate. A difference of a few inches is to be expected as al our items are hand-cut and hand-sewn. For hygiene purposes, no alterations can be accepted on panties/knickers/underwear. Lingerie sliders and bows are optional.
Because of the handmade nature of Econica's clothing line, there will be slight variations in each garment, such as trim color, length and lace pattern, but we promise you it will be just as beautiful and well-made as the one in the picture.
We can adjust certain Econica's styles down a size BUT NOT UP. If you have purchased too small a size you will need to purchase your garment of choice in the next size up.
We hope you will LOVE your new clothes and enjoy wearing it as much as we enjoyed making it for you.
