Size & Care guide

  • WHAT ARE THE SIZES OF YOUR SHIRTS?

We have two different dimensions. Our first shirts part of the SeaSalt collection are a bit more tailored. We decided to make our latest collection (Number One) a bit more loose-fitting. Just because we like life a bit more breezy. Check our size guide here.

  • HOW TO BEST TAKE CARE OF MY SHIRT?

Because all our shirts are handmade with mostly natural techniques we recommend to keep cleaning simple. Use hand wash with cold water. Only use natural detergents. And in case with shirts that are made with natural dye we recommend not using detergents. Stains should be washed rubbing the stain with your hands and some cold water.  We recommend to start by just hanging your shirt outside in the fresh night air. The moon does miracles while we are asleep.

  • HOW DO YOU UPCYCLE?

From sheet to shirt might sound catchy, but what does it actually mean? 

  1. We source our sheets from partner hotels in Portugal (for now). We use only 100% cotton sheets. 
  2. We work with a local seamstress in Lisbon to make white shirts out of the sheets. We always try to ensure no torn and stained textiles are used. However, we all know imperfection is beautiful, so sometimes it might be part of your shirt, providing a unique touch. 
  3. The shirts then go to the different artists and crafters who turn white cotton in unique pieces based on their natural techniques like dying, embroidering and more. 
  4. After this the shirts go back to the seamstress to attach buttons (which we source from many friends in our community) and labels (which are also made from the same textiles) and so complete our shirts ready for shipment to our customers. 

Payments & Security

All payments are secure. We are using Shopify and benefit from its robust and secure platform. We might offer different local payment options based on country and Shopify options. But in general you can pay with debit and credit cards.
