The Pre Order Process: Explained

As of September 2021, all of my apparel is available to buy on a pre-order basis. There are loads of boring BTS (the yawn-inducing business admin type, not the exceptionally talented Korean boyband type) reasons for this, but the main ones are twofold: 1. it helps me avoid under-stocking anything and disappointing people (my absolute worst fear in life), and 2. also helps me avoid ordering excess stock, which contributes to my commitment to creating as little waste as possible. So, what does this mean for you, lovely Enthusiast?

What does this mean in real terms?

It means that t-shirts and sweatshirts will be available to purchase during the monthly pre-order window only, which will run from the last Tuesday of the month for a week. The next few dates will be:

  • Tuesday 25th January - Wednesday 2nd February

  • Tuesday 22nd February - Wednesday 2nd March

  • Tuesday 29th March - Tuesday 5th April

What’s the timeline for pre-ordering Enthusiast goodies?

So glad you asked, mes amis. Here’s an idea of how it will go:

Week 1: Pre-orders open

Pre-orders will open for a week, allowing you to bag the item of your dreams. Nice!

Week 2: T-shirts are sent to print/embroider

Then some of my favourite people in the whole world, the legends who run Wild & Kind Studio, will get to work ethically printing & embroidering each piece.

Week 3

Good things take time, and your patience is SO appreciated. I’m anxiously excited to get your items to you too!

Week 4: It’s on its way!

All t-shirts will be packaged with love and sent Royal Mail First Class Signed For (or tracked, if you’re overseas.) For domestic orders, they should arrive within 3 days of dispatch; for overseas, it’ll take a little longer.

And there you have it! The new Enthusiast Pre-Order system. What do you think? Pretty neat, I hope you’ll agree! If you have any questions about it, please don’t hesitate to pop me an email or a DM - I’m happy to answer any and all questions!

And thank you so much for your support on my pre-order drops, by the way: it means the absolute world.
