Returns & exchanges.

Every piece is made to order — no pre-stock, no waste. That changes how returns work.

  • Damaged, defective, or the wrong item shipped to you: free reprint or refund. Email within 30 days with your order number and a photo.
  • Doesn’t fit when you try it on: we can’t offer free size exchanges (reprinting + reshipping means a full second production run). Please check the Bella+Canvas 3001 size chart on the product page. If the fit is really off, email us — we help case by case with a discounted reorder or store credit.
  • Prints and change of mind: archival prints cannot be exchanged or returned. We don’t accept returns for buyer’s remorse on any item.
  • Complete Editions ship as two separate packages (tee + print) and may arrive on different days. Tracking provided for both.
  • Refunds and store credit processed within 5–10 business days of confirmation.
