Color will always look different depending on your computes color settings, the setting of camera when image was taken, the light when image was taken, and your unique perception of color. This along with the variations that occur when dyeing things by hand onto organic fabrics makes it impossible for us to guarantee the color you see on your screen will be the same as the garment you receive or even the same from one dye bath to the next.
HUMAN -We hand dye each garment so colors will shift a little each dye bath. We celebrate the diversity and uniqueness created in a hand made piece and prefer to honor and appreciate the differences that occur when a human is intimately connected to each garment. No two garments will ever be the same.
NATURE – We use only Organic Fibers, this means our colors will shift from season to season, based on the specific conditions when each fiber was grown and each fabric will take the dye a little different. It is truly our joy to honor the Nature of Nature by allowing her to speak through our clothing in this way.
All of these nuances means no two garments will every be the same, offering us as makers and you as a supporter of eco handmade the opportunity to celebrate nature, the human hand, and the beautiful uniqueness that occurs when these 2 worlds are united. Thanks so much for joining us and we hope you enjoy your one of a kind Gaia Garment.

Below are some of are common questions about orders

Our turnaround time is currently 3-4 weeks. Our turnaround time is the amount of time it takes us to produce a made-to-order garment and prepare it for shipment. We place all the orders we receive in a given week into a production plan. Then we make all of the garments in that production plan – they move through the studio getting cut, sewn, dyed, inspected, and packed up as a group. Our turnaround time does not include USPS pick up and delivery. At any given moment, our team will be working on two or three production plans – one batch is in cutting, one in sewing, one in dyeing and fulfillment then getting ready for pickup. Each production plan is totally unique, containing only the garments you all have ordered.
Good things take time. We are unable to rush orders simply because there are no garments to rush. Every garment is carefully made-to-order only after it has been purchased. We promise it will be worth the wait!
All Alterations and Overdyes must be requested HERE. This helps us collect all the info we need to make sure your garment is processed correctly when it arrives at the studio and then it gets returned to the correct address when finished.
For sure! If you order hasn’t shipped yet, we can change your address. Email ourCustomer Relations Teamwith your new address, and we’ll make sure everything is updated.
Unlike traditional companies that produce inventory en masse and then make that inventory available to purchase, we don’t begin producing a garment until a customer has placed their order. Once the order is placed, we cut, sew, dye, inspect, and ship the garment.

We currently do not offer refunds. Although we are always up for a challenge, offering refunds is a bit tricky for our company’s current model and size. Our made-to-order business model, financial workflow, and strong belief in our garments themselves make us confident in offering free alteration and overdoes or store credit only at this time.
