FAQS
What sizes do you make?
We make kids sizes 1/2 through to 12/14, depending on the style. Our best-selling sizes are 3/4 and 5/6, so if you're on the fence, sizing up is always a safe call. Tees are cut slightly oversized on purpose they're meant to get a few extra seasons out of them. If your kid is between sizes, check the notes on each product page and go by what fits them best right now, not the age on the tag.
Will these shrink after washing?
Nope. Our Bali makers pre-wash and pre-soften every piece before it leaves, so what you get is what you keep. No nasty surprises on first wash. Machine wash cold, hang to dry, and they'll hold their shape and colour for a long time.
How do I know what size to get if I can't try it on?
Most of our styles run slightly oversized, which is intentional it gives kids more wears across more seasons. We find most kids fit true to their age in our tees and hoodies. If your kid is a solid 5-year-old, a 5/6 will fit now and still look good in 12 months. When in doubt, size up rather than down.
How long do the clothes actually last?
One of our customers summed it up well: her daughter outgrew the shirt before it showed any wear. That's the goal. These are made from thick, durable cotton designed to survive the park, the beach, the skatepark, and 100+ washes. We don't do throwaway quality.
Are these ethically made?
Yes. Every piece is handmade in Bali by skilled makers we work with directly. We don't mass produce, we don't cut corners, and we don't do fast fashion. We also donate $1 from every single order through i=Change and you get to choose where it goes at checkout.
Can I pay with Afterpay?
Yes, Afterpay and Zip are both available at checkout. A $65 hoodie works out to about $16.25 a fortnight. No interest, no drama.
Do you do free shipping?
Free standard shipping on Australian orders over $90. Express is $9.95 if you need it fast.
What's your return policy?
If something doesn't work, log into your account, find the order, and request a return. We'll sort it. We want you to love what you get.
Why are items limited? Will you restock?
We make 80 units per style, per colour. That's it. When they're gone, they don't come back. It's not a marketing trick it's genuinely how we operate. Small batch, made properly, limited on purpose. We'd rather make fewer things well than more things cheap.
Are the clothes good for active kids?
That's literally why we make them. Surf, skate, beach, park, school these are built for kids who don't sit still. No scratchy seams, no stiff fabric, nothing that slows them down. Parents keep telling us their kids won't take them off. That's the benchmark we design to.
