Designed and embroidered in Melbourne by RK Threads.
The embroidery
Machine embroidered in our Melbourne studio. We set the drawing up for the machines, which means turning it into a stitch file the machine can follow.
Bold lines and strong colours stitch best. Very fine details can get simplified so they stitch cleanly. The design tool shows the biggest size each spot can take.
Sizing
The size guide next to the sizes has the measurements. They're taken flat on the garment in centimetres, so lay a piece you like flat and compare.
Care
Wash cold and inside out. Skip the dryer if you can, and don't iron straight over the stitching.
Shipping and turnaround
Custom pieces are ready to post two weeks after you order (10 business days). Rush is five business days for $25 more, and you add it in the design tool.
Shipping is free in Australia over $90 and free internationally over $150.
Returns
Our refund policy has the details. If something's not right, message us.
