FAQs
Q: When can I pick up my order?
A: This won't feel like your typical Amazon next-day-delivery-order. We are currently sewing these bags to have them ready before holiday time that way they can make the perfect gift for someone special! Once it's ready for pick-up, you will be notified by email!
Q: How did you arrive at the final cost of the bag?
A: The purpose of the pre-order project is not to compete with mass production and fast fashion prices, that fuel overconsumption while [predominately] women textile workers receive unacceptable wages. The cost of the bag reflects the true cost of labour invested into making a quality product, with the proceeds going back directly into the pockets of local women we serve in our programs. The reality: sewing takes time, and women deserve to make a living wage for their time, skills, and expertise. When women are empowered to succeed, communities thrive. A full cost breakdown is available on the left (the last image in the carousel).
Q: It sold out before I could pre-order one! Will there be another opportunity?
A: This is a one-time opportunity to own a piece of the hockey world for hockey fans! These sport duffel bags are only available while supplies last, however we hope to launch more upcycled products in the near future!
