What happens when I make a pre-order? When will I receive the product?
You will receive a confirmation email of your purchase. Your credit card will be charged the amount in full and when the design is in-stock it will be shipped to you and you will receive a shipping notification with tracking information (if you have selected a shipment option with tracking).
We generally release pre-orders within 2 weeks of the order receipt date, so generally you will not be waiting longer than 30 days to receive your order. If this or any delivery date changes, we will update you via email.
We do our best to keep customers updated via email about their order status. We will periodically post updates on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/getencircled.
Once orders are ready to ship, depending on your location, it will take between 1-7 business days to arrive (within North America). International orders are longer. Check with your local carrier or get in touch with us at contact@encircled.ca.
Will my pre-order and regular items ship together?

Sustainability
What makes Encircled sustainable?
Encircled is sustainable at heart, meaning everything we do is through the lens of sustainability. As 100% of our collection is made in Toronto, our carbon footprint is significantly lower than most brands. We also knit and dye ~55%-60% of our fabrics locally. This ensures strict environmental practices are followed and lowers our carbon footprint. Encircled is also proudly 100% green-powered for our studio, and our website hosting. We use solely eco-friendly products in studio from reusable cutlery, cups and plates to bioplastics when doing events. We also have an in-house composting program whereby our food waste is turned into worm food. Lastly, our designs are made from naturally derived, non-plastic, non-petroleum based fabrics, the majority of which are produced through processes that use minimal water compared to conventional fabrics. Our fabrics are also all biodegradable, from renewable resources and certified to be free of harmful chemicals. Everything is mindfully selected to minimize our impact on the planet.
Where does Encircled make its clothing?
We’re proudly 100% sewn in Toronto, Canada, with all sewing studios less than 35km from our office! Read more about our amazing studios here.
What do I do when I’m done wearing my Encircled design?
If you’re ready to part with an Encircled piece, we encourage you to choose a more sustainable option than sending your clothes into landfill. One option is selling or trading your gently used Encircled clothes on our resale platform. For more ways to responsibly part with your Encircled pieces visit our page on circular fashion here.
Do you offer a re-sale platform?
Yes! We run a resale platform for gently loved Encircled items where you can both buy and sell clothing from us. It's called renewed threads! Access the US site here and the Canadian site here. Don't forget to join our Facebook group where you can share your listing!

Two-weeks post-sale you'll receive an email prompting you to complete a review on our website. You can also see all reviews at the bottom of each product page. We post all reviews but there may be a slight delay in publishing by 72 hours.
I bought a product and I’d love to share feedback. How do I do so?
You'll receive an email from us automatically 14 days after your purchase with a link to leave a review on our website for your Encircled pieces. You can also leave a review at the bottom of each product page.
Fabric & Care
Where are your fabrics from?
Currently, we’re knitting and dying about 55-60% of our fabric in Toronto. As our business grows, we’re able to knit more fabric locally as the minimum order size is quite high for a small business. As we grow, the knitting industry grows. In 5 years, we hope to be knitting 85% of our fabric in North America. You can also read more about our core fabrics here.
How do I care for my Encircled design?
Wash as needed in cold water.
The less you wash your clothes, the longer they’ll last. Plus, less laundry = more time for fun things. Heat can break down fibres in clothing, especially natural ones. Washing by hand in cold water, or switching your washer to cold, saves energy, reduces micro-fibre shredding and helps keep your designs in your wardrobe where they belong.
Use a plant-based detergent.
Use a plant-based detergent that’s free from sulfates, chlorinated bleach, optical brighteners and fragrance to keep your pieces looking (and feeling) their best.
Pass on the dryer. Avoid ironing.
None of our designs are dryer-friendly. Save energy, and your clothes, by either hanging to dry or laying flat depending on the care label.
