OUT OF STOCK

​

The size I am looking for in a specific style is out of stock on the website. When will it be back?

Because we make all our products on a made to order basis, there is a very good chance we will be able to adjust stock at our end to make your preferred size available for you. You can check with us by writing to us at aikyastudio@gmail.com.

​

When will a style be back in stock?

Restocking of products is highly dependent on customer demand and fabric availability. If we’ve received enough requests and the fabric is available to reorder, we do bring it back. Given the nature of our process, it’s hard for us to say if something will be back in stock unless it’s already been confirmed.

​

FABRIC & CARE

 

What colour is it?

We try to keep the colour in image as close to the real one and there is usually almost no difference between the colour on your screen and the actual garment. However colour viewing differs in various gadget screens. Occasionally, in naturally dyed or hand crafted garments, the colour may slightly vary. This is not an error or poor quality but simply a testament to the hand process.

​

Will the product look the same as the images on the website?

Yes, we work very hard to ensure the imagery matches the product in reality. What you see will also depend on the gadget at hand and its display settings but we can assure you that the chances of there being a discrepancy is negligible.

 

Could you recommend a mild detergent that I can use?

The better home - laundry liquid. Do note that we do not have any connection or partnership with the mentioned company, and are simply speaking from our experience. Your experience with the product may vary.

​

Any special care instructions for ironing?

Always iron inside out. The heat or temperature of the iron depends on the fabric at hand. We’ve detailed these specifics in our fabric care guide.

 

Will the garment shrink post wash?

While all our fabrics are prewashed and pre-shrunk, a small amount of shrinking is still possible. We recommend washing with cold water as heat may shrink a natural fabric.

 

Which fabrics do you use?

We work with a variety of fabrics including but not limited to handspun and handwoven cotton, handwoven cotton, organic cotton, linen, Khadi, Organic Khadi, etc
