What are custom prints?
Custom prints are designs that are made to order on fabrics. Some artwork is created in-house, while others may be commercially licensed art with a cap on production. Essentially, it means that our custom prints are available in very limited quantities. What's left after preorders (presently, this happens exclusively in our Insiders' Facebook group) are listed for retail.
A custom printed fabric is unique; after all, what's the fun in having what everyone else is having? If this speaks to you, congratulations! You've come to the right place.
ABOUT OUR FABRIC BASE(S)
All our custom printed fabrics are pre-washed and pre-pressed in production. Which means that you can get started on your projects right away without worrying about shrinkage, yay!
