Hello Friends! We are back for another monthly drop and we are so excited to include the Tea Towel halter top in the line-up! For a limited time, it is the perfect easy piece to wear to the beach, out on a picnic or BBQ with friends and families. Made with 100% linen and cotton paneling, it is breathable and easy to dry. We are also returning the very popular hankie bow strap top, in ready-made and custom options.

 

As always: If you're new here, THANK YOU. If you've been a long time customer of ours, YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE, and for that, THANK YOU. If you've been receiving these emails but haven't bought anything yet, I hope you are able to find something today!

 

The clothes are always OOAK (one-of-a-kind), eco-friendly styles using existing, scrap, thrifted and vintage materials. We pride ourselves in carefully curating colors and prints, combining them thoughtfully, making sure each design turns out the best it can be and enhancing the humble materials we use.

Sizing is AS IS. These are slow batch pieces and we are limited to our capacity in grading patterns. So if you love a piece but can not find your size, we offer fabric for made-to-order and you can supply us with fabric!

 

Please make sure to read descriptions, measure yourself or your own garments for reference before purchasing as ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Size inclusivity is IMPORTANT to us! You can also drop us a note HERE and we can create a custom slot for you.

LET ME TEACH YOU HOW TO UPCYCLE YOUR OWN PUFF SLEEVE TOP!

My Course with DOMESTIKA is now on SALE!

SIGN UP HERE!

The course is downloadable at you can take it at your own pace. The course includes tips and tricks to spotting the potential of vintage and thrifted fabrics. It is perfect for beginners and includes a puff sleeve pattern, that is fun and suitable for beginners or those without much sewing experience. NOTE: the pattern is slightly different than our signature silhouette but is very similar in shape, and created for those who need an introduction to sewing and basic pattern correction. It is still a great course to take if you are a more skilled sewist, as I cover my design theories and color inspiration. I hope that you find this course enjoyable! We really worked very hard to put it together.

Some important things to remind you of - PLEASE READ:

1.) We are a small operation. All SALES are FINAL. No refunds or exchanges. Thank you for understanding.

2.) FREE Shipping on DOMESTIC orders over $500. This offer doesn't apply to international shipping.

3.) We are now able to ship to the UK! Yay! You will be responsible for paying the VAT at customs when your package arrives.

4.) This is rare, but it happens. If you end up purchasing a garment that's been sold to someone else, due to checking out within minutes of each other, (our web server is unable to process high volume traffic in the site during these drops), you will be notified with back-up options. We will try our best to come up with a similar item for the piece. You also have the option to be refunded. Sorry in advance if this happens to you! Unfortunately, this is beyond our control. 

5.) Please make sure to be very specific with your measurements and other requests to avoid delays in your order. Please DON'T send a DM on Instagram about your order. Always email to selina@selinasanders.com and cc: info@selinasanders.com

6.) Please be as thorough about your made to order purchase as much as possible. If you aren't able to, we will default to the lengths and only following your bust size requirement. Please make sure to send us your measurements promptly as this could cause a delay in your order.

7.) You can only buy an original SS garment from one place: that's our website. There are many copies out there! If you see any fake or scam websites stealing our designs and using our work to lure people, please REPORT these websites to Pinterest, FB or Instagram (where the ad appears).
