Shipping Policy — Studio Ek Inch
SHIPPING POLICY
A Note on Slow Fashion: At Studio Ek Inch, every product is handcrafted with intention and made to order. As a slow-fashion label, we take the time to ensure that every piece reflects the quality, precision, and craftsmanship we stand for.
Order Processing Time (Made-to-Order)
Every Studio Ek Inch product is individually prepared for you. The time below refers to the period required to make and prepare your order before it is ready for dispatch.

| Menswear Shirts | 2–3 weeks |
| Accessories (bags, small leather goods & handcrafted pieces) | 3-5 Working Days |
You will receive an email update when your order moves into production and another notification once it is ready for dispatch.
Please note: Since our products are made to order, the processing time is in addition to the shipping and delivery time mentioned below.

Tracking & Support
Order Tracking
Once your order has been dispatched, a tracking link or tracking details will be shared with you via email.
You can use the tracking information to follow your shipment until delivery.
Delivery Delays & Exceptions
We carefully plan every order around our made-to-order production process. However, slight delays may occasionally occur due to:
- High order volumes
- Production requirements
- Artisan or workshop schedules
- Courier delays
- Weather conditions
- Public holidays
- Customs clearance for international orders
- Other circumstances beyond our control
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we follow our slow-fashion approach rather than mass-producing our products.
Wrong Address / Failed Delivery
Please ensure that your name, delivery address, phone number, and other shipping details are accurate when placing your order.
Studio Ek Inch cannot be held responsible for delays or failed deliveries resulting from incorrect or incomplete information provided by the customer.
