Shipping policy
All orders are processed within 3 to 5 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) after receiving your order confirmation email. You will receive another notification when your order has shipped. Your delivery time depends on product type (i.e. original painting vs fashion item), as well as your shipping method and location. Details below.
Original Artwork: Please allow 3 to 5 business days for us to have your artwork professionally packed and shipped (or ready for you to pick it up). This allows us to make sure the painting is fully dry. (Note: If you are ahead of the game and ordered a fresh piece, your paint may need a little while longer to dry. Your patience allows your painting to arrive in top condition.)
Fashion With Meaning: Each fashion piece is made to order in Montreal, Canada. Please allow 21 business days of production time before your order is ready to ship. As every unit is dyed and sewn in Montreal. Quebec, Canada for a specific collector in a limited edition with a unique number, please expect slightly longer delays than for standard e-commerce. Once your piece is ready, shipping will take 5-7 business days, depending on your location.
You will receive your order approximately 30 days after your order is placed, so please order early if you have a special event. If you have not received your order within ten business days of receiving your shipping confirmation email, please contact us.
***Please note: production times for Fashion With Meaning can be affected by sanitary measures.***
