FAQ
Good to have you here. Below are the answers to the stuff we get asked most - if yours isn't covered, just give us a shout.
Shipping & Delivery
How long does delivery take?
Sustainable production matters to us - we keep our stock lean and produce in small batches as orders come in, which is why processing takes a little extra time. Every piece also goes through a quality check before it heads your way. That takes 1 to 3 business days, up to 5 during peak periods. We share this because transparency matters to us. Your estimated delivery date is shown at checkout and includes both production and shipping.
Germany: 2 to 5 business days
We're currently shipping within Germany only. Everywhere else is coming soon - the Den will be the first to know when it kicks off.
Delivery times are estimates and may vary due to external factors.
Can I still cancel my order?
Once your piece goes into production, we can no longer step in. If you're quick: get in touch right after ordering, and we'll see what's still possible.
Do I get updates on my order?
Yes. You'll get a confirmation when your order comes in, an update once it goes into production, and a tracking link by email as soon as your parcel is on its way.
Do you ship to Switzerland, Austria, or internationally?
Not yet. We're currently shipping within Germany only. Switzerland, Austria, and everywhere else is on the way - we're working on it, and the Den will hear about it first when it goes live.
What if my order arrives in multiple parcels?
That can happen. You'll get an individual tracking link for each parcel. No need to worry if only part of your order shows up first - the rest is on its way.
Sizing & Fit
How do the pieces fit?
Regular, true-to-size fit. Not tight, not a tent. Good weight, comfortable on the skin. The exact fit for each piece is shown on the product page.
What sizes do you offer?
We start at S and go up to at least 3XL, with some pieces going all the way to 5XL. Because we don't stop at XL. The available sizes for each product are shown on the product page.
Is there a size chart?
Every product has a size chart with measurements in cm. If you're between two sizes, go a size up. The pieces have a bit of room. You'll find the full chart on our Size Guide.
Quality & Material
Why does it smell a bit out of the bag?
Freshly produced pieces sometimes carry a slight scent. That's just part of production, totally harmless, and gone after the first wash. One spin in the machine and it's done.
What materials are the pieces made from?
We use high-quality materials with a good weight, durable colour, and a comfortable feel. The exact materials for each piece are listed on the product page.
How do I take care of the print?
Wash inside out, max 30 to 40 degrees, no high heat in the dryer, don't iron directly on the print. That keeps the print looking fresh for longer. Full care instructions are on the label.
Do you produce sustainably?
Sustainable production matters to us - we keep our stock lean and produce in small batches as orders come in, which is why processing takes a little extra time. Every piece also goes through a quality check before it heads your way. It keeps quality high and waste low - nothing ends up where it shouldn't. What arrives at your door is yours from the start.
Returns & Withdrawal
Can I return something if I don't like it?
You have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days from receipt, no reason needed. Return shipping costs are on you in that case. Please get in touch with us first before sending anything back - we'll figure out the best solution together. Full details on your right of withdrawal can be found here.
How do I start a return?
Use our return request form. Have your order number ready - you'll find it in your order confirmation. We'll respond within 2 business days with next steps. We can't accept returns sent back without prior approval.
What condition does the item need to be in?
The same condition it arrived in. Unworn, unwashed, tags attached, original packaging. If it doesn't meet that, we can't take it back.
When do I get my money back?
Once your return arrives and has been checked, we'll refund you within 5 business days to your original payment method. Depending on your bank, it might take a little longer to show up. If nothing's arrived 10 business days after our confirmation, just reach out via our contact form.
Is there an exchange option?
We don't offer direct exchanges. If you'd like a different size or item, we're happy to issue store credit for the returned piece. You can then place a new order.
Defects & Issues
My item has a print error or arrived damaged.
We'll sort that out, no question asked. Get in touch via our contact form within 30 days of receiving your order with your order number and a photo of the issue. We'll send a replacement or refund as quickly as possible.
My parcel hasn't arrived yet.
If it's taking noticeably longer than indicated, get in touch via our contact form within 30 days of your estimated delivery date. We'll look into it right away.
What warranty applies?
We stand behind our quality. Your statutory warranty rights under German law apply to defects present at the time of delivery, for a period of 2 years.
