Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

To maintain the high concept of craftsmanship of our product/creation, in most cases, you will find unique items. Since all products/creations are handmade, each item will be unique. For information regarding some products/creations that you no longer see available, send us an email to ecommerce@syrtaria.com. 

Being handcrafted products/creations Often We produce limited quantities to maintain the exclusivity of the product and its uniqueness. If a product is out of stock:

  • you will no longer see it visible in our SHOP
  • it may be visible on the SHOP but the writing will appear on the product sheet WORN OUT

An article WORN OUT cannot be reproduced. It may happen that you will find creations that can be reproduced but none will ever be the same as the previous one, there may be small variations. For any information and request regarding a product/creation send us an email to ecommerce@syrtaria.com.

A CUSTOM PRODUCT is a product/creation made ad hoc following the guidelines requested by the customer. The customization of the creation can mean:

  • create on another print a model that you see on the SHOP
  • create the creation to measure (if remotely a measurement sheet will be sent to fill in to create a garment sewn on your shapes. For any clarification a video call will also be made to take measurements)
  • changes to existing finished products
In these cases the product/creation created cannot be returned –> find out more about RETURN POLICIES

SIZE GUIDE

By TAILORED AND ARTISAN CREATION at Syrtaria we mean a creation made entirely by hand without the use of industrial products or industrialization processes. The only tools used are needle, thread and sewing machine. The design as well as the cut are also made by hand. We respect the Italian sizes to make our garments.

The sizes of each CREATION are specified in the product sheet of each item in the SHOP. In each CREATION the Italian size (IT) will be specified and in the lower section of the product page you will find the SIZE GUIDE section where the corresponding foreign size will be indicated. 

To understand if the size proposed on our SHOP corresponds to the one you usually wear, we have inserted a detailed sheet with all the measurements corresponding to the IT and FOREIGN sizes. You will find all the details here.

Of course, you can write us an email to create a personalized creation, we will also send you a technical sheet to indicate the measurements in centimeters that we will need to be able to create your custom garment.

Each product sheet is detailed with all the references regarding IT size and other measurements for more details on the final product. At the bottom of the page you will find the SIZE GUIDE sheet where the corresponding foreign sizes will be indicated. If you want to be more sure and would like to know more about products/creations write an email or contact us directly on whatsapp. In this case you can find all the details on the CONTACTS page.
