WTFAQ

Got any questions? Here are some answers (non-religous ofcourse)

When do new designs appear?

When I have time to post them. Honestly I'm creating all the time, but life's tricky like that some time. Gotta be patient!

Can I return stuff?

If something really doesn't fit right of course you can. However, because OOAKI isn't a multinational I can't offer free sendbacks like the big chains do. And because the environment is precious, it would be best to only purchase if you intend to wear or use the product. This saves unnecessary shipping and lowers carbon emissions. Also, it might occur that a shirt is already sold out in a smaller or larger size when you want to trade. Let me know if you have questions beforehand or when a shirt doesn't work out, and we'll fix that shit together :)

Will sold out shirts be reprinted?

Maybe, maybe not... I do appreciate love for my designs, and I do have a way to print on demand. Just let me know if you really dig a design, and we can work something out!

How do I pay you?

I currently accept payment in the form of PayPal and Credit card, iDeal, Bancontact and Sofort. Let me know when your preferred method is not available or if something goes wrong.

Why do you do this?

Because printing is fun and I love to make people happy with my designs.

How can I stay updated about the latest stuff?

Check out the homepage for the latest stuff, but other good ways to stay in the loop about designs and updates is by following me on Instagram or signing up for the (very infrequen) newsletter!

When will my package arrive?

WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT!

Na, for real: I post stuff by regular mail a.s.a.p., so depending on where you live shouldn't take too long.

Final questions

How big are you on sustainability?

We only get one planet, and it would be nice if we could all not be dicks about it/to each other. Therefor I commit this company to be as sustainable as possible.

The shirts are made by a company named Stanley/Stella which prides itself on being transparant, fair and sustainable. Read more about them here.

The printing itself is done by me. I buy my supplies as local as I can and print either at home or at a workplace. In that way you're not only supporting me, but also other local businesses.

The print on my shirt looks different from the one in the picture

Technically that isn't a question, but i'll allow it!

Being that these shirts are hand printed, some changes in positioning, registration and color can occur. I do my best to make all the shirts as good and equal as possible, but that's easier said than done.

Think of it like this: no one has the exact same shirt you have... isn't that just braggadociously amazing?

How do I take the best care for my shirt?

By caressing and stroking it bi-weekly...

No, for real, the shirts have been cured (basically melted to the fabric) so they should be on there pretty solid. Even though, some fading and cracking may (and probably will) occur, just like with any other shirt. The best way is to wash inside out at a low temp (30C or 80-90F), don't tumble dry, don't iron.

My shirt is all fucked up and I only wore it once!

I mean, that's not supposed to happen. If your shirt does fray, or the print fades way too quick, let me know here and we'll work something out!
