Turnaround Time
For our made-to-order custom pieces, turnaround time varies between 1-3 weeks, depending on the design. More intricate pieces, such as detailed patchwork or hand-stitched elements, may take longer to ensure the highest quality craftsmanship. Each item is carefully constructed from upcycled materials, following a slow fashion approach that prioritizes attention to detail over mass production. If you have a specific deadline, please reach out before placing your order, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
If you order non-custom or ready-to-ship items (vintage, mystery box, etc.), we aim to fulfill and ship your order within three days. We believe in getting your pieces to you as quickly as possible without compromising on quality.
Return Policy
Because our products are secondhand and upcycled, we do not accept returns on most items. However, if you purchase a custom item, and would like it tailored, refit, and anything else, just reach out! We are happy to assist. You can always contact us for any return questions at info@monettacollective.shop.
Sizing Information
Finding the right fit is important, and our pieces are designed with a relaxed, unisex fit to suit a variety of body types. Below is our general unisex size chart, but keep in mind that exact measurements may vary slightly depending on the design and fit of each garment.
Size Chart (Approximate Measurements)
• Small (S) – Chest: 34-36” / Waist: 28-30”
• Medium (M) – Chest: 38-40” / Waist: 32-34”
• Large (L) – Chest: 42-44” / Waist: 36-38”
• Extra Large (XL) – Chest: 46-48” / Waist: 40-42”

Our garments are meant to have a comfortable, slightly oversized fit, but if you prefer a more tailored look, consider sizing down. Since many of our pieces are made-to-order, custom sizing may be available upon request. If you have any questions about measurements or need specific adjustments, feel free to reach out before placing your order!
