Frequently Asked Questions

Fit?: Our beautiful fabrics have a high content of lycra which make them recover their shape easily. So although they may have a smaller appearance (not unlike panty hosed), the sizes are precisesly engineered to work with the viscose and stretchy content. You may find that you actually take a smaller size than you imagined since the lycra pulls in and accentuates your positives and works well hiding and controlling the areas where we all needed it. The result is pure, beautiful comfort. This high lycra content also makes them some of our clients' favorite maternity items that a "Yummy Mummy" can wear before, during and after the bump. STYLES ARE SIZED FOR THE LADIES' CONTEMPORARY MARKET:

XXS = 2 - 4

Appointments?: Appointments with the designers are availble to discuss your specific store's needs.

Feel?: Each style is expertly tailored for the most wonderful fit you can image. The signature mix of body slimming cuts, graphic jacquards and strategically engineered transparent fantasy fabrics make for some of the most comfortable and unforgetable knitwear imaginable. Many people tell us that when they put one of our pieces on, they don't want to take it off. They never thought a knit could fit so well made and still feel so elegant. Wearing one of our garments is a welcome experience.

Care?: Most small spots are easily removed by blotting gently with a diaper wipe. Regular dry cleaning is recommended. DO NOT WASH! Many people think that they can launder anything in Woolite. Please read all apparel care labels carefully, incuding ours. Rayon actually becomes very weak in water. Due to the high lycra content the weakened viscose surrenders to the strong lycra and your garment will never regain its' shape.

Travel well?: Our beautiful fabrics have a high content of lycra also make our garments excellent travelers themselves. They are light weight, pack well, and recover their shape easily.

Original Designs?: We source beautiful yarns in Europe and from top creative manufacturers in the USA. Every season we combine new colors, textures and inspiration to design unique, original fabrics you won't find anywhere else. All designs are copyrighted.

Made in the USA?: Yes! we design and manufacture everything right here in North Hollywood. We are completely vertical and DO NOT IMPORT any garments what so ever. We manufacture strictly to order. Each garment is individually knitted, hand cut and sewn to our customer's requirements right here in our North Hollywood Design House. We don't stock finsihed products or fabrics of any kind. We DO NOT manufacture overseas. Nothing is mass produced. Each garment is a unique work of art, hand-crafted by exceptional craftsmen and highly talented knitting professionals who love what they do and make a decent wage. Their pride and joy is in every stitch.

Seasons?: We stock yarns only. So if you've seen a style a few seasons ago, chances are that we still have that color in our pallete and we can easily make it for your store. We frequently make a great number of our clients' best sellers two and three years after the pieces have debuted in a collection.

Special Orders?: We stock yarns only. Our customers choose the silhouette, the fabric and the color. Since everything is manufactured strictly to order, most requests are normal and at no extra charge. We do charge a nominal materials cost for adding extra length to bodies. Normally our maternity clients need an additional 4 to 6 inches in length. We absolutely can and do accomodate them and many other interesting requests. Just ask and we will do our best to help.
