How quickly can I expect my order to arrive?

Sometimes, we will make your skirt on order so it might take a bit longer. We will get in touch to let you know.

Where are onsēm designed and produced?

All our apparels are made in NY.

Some items are produced in our studio, some are made by local tailors.
As onsēm grew, we reached to a family business in the Great District, Manhattan to help us. All our items are handmade.

I am concerned the African wax fabric is quite stiff

When we visit our suppliers, we pick the softer fabrics for our skirts. If you still think your fabric is a bit stiff, you can soak in water for 24h.

The fabric will also soften with time.

Why are they so few skirts per fabric?

We visit our African fabric suppliers in the Bronx every 2 months to handpick our fabrics.
To limit waste, we purchase a few yards at a time. Often those aren't available at our following visit...Sometimes they are!

Is the color true to the photo?

We do our best to ensure that our photos are as true to color as possible. However, due to inconsistencies of various monitors, lighting sources, digital photography, we cannot guarantee that the color you see on your screen accurately portrays the true color of the product.

Screen images are intended as a guide only and should not be regarded as absolutely correct.
