We feature specialized design collections and custom apparel options available at shop.artfullempiredesigns.com.

Apparel Materials & Care: The primary fabrics utilized in our apparel catalog are high-quality polyester and cotton. Polyester is specifically selected, as it serves as the optimal medium for vibrant, high-definition all-over print sublimation. To preserve the vibrancy of all-over print polyester garments and prevent fabric pilling or thermal damage, machine wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low or air dry.

Footwear Materials: Footwear items are constructed using durable polyurethane (PU), canvas, and breathable mesh, supported by sturdy rubber soles.

Shipping fees and estimated delivery schedules are calculated based on destination and order specifications. Comprehensive details regarding shipping rate calculations can be reviewed via our logistics partner guide at Yoycol Shipping Rate Policy.
