Sustainability & Production

At Aditi Sonar, we’re committed to creating beautiful pieces with care.

Materials

We prioritize sustainable, low-impact materials wherever possible, including:

• Natural cottons
• Cotton blends
• Vintage and deadstock lace
• Recycled fabrics
• Upcycled fabrics and embellishments

When non-sustainable components are used, we’ll always specify this transparently.

Production

All our pieces are produced in very small batches or on a made-to-order basis. Production is either done by hand in Aditi’s London studio or hand made through a small, ethically-minded manufacturing partner in China.

Our manufacturing partner maintains fair working conditions, offering competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, and ongoing training for their staff. Many of their workers have stayed with the company for over a decade,a testament to the positive, respectful environment they’ve cultivated. They’ve also introduced a profit-sharing and equity model to attract and retain skilled talent, reflecting a progressive approach to worker well-being in the garment industry.

As a small, slow-fashion brand, each piece is made with care. Please allow a minimum of 6 weeks for your order to be produced and delivered.

Packaging

All packaging is fully recyclable and made from recycled materials wherever possible, because sustainability doesn’t stop at the product.

Our bespoke boxes are reserved for full sets. Individual items arrive carefully packaged in a branded dust bag.

Shipping

We use tracked shipping, which typically delivers within 3 working days in the UK and 7-10 working days internationally.

For international orders, we use a service that prepays customs duties and fees; however, if any additional charges arise, we are not responsible for these costs.

Refunds & Returns

If your bra or suspender doesn’t fit, we’re happy to offer a refund or exchange. Please note that exchanges for a different size require a new piece to be made and may take an additional 4–6 weeks to produce and ship.

Unfortunately, for hygiene reasons, underwear bottoms cannot be returned.

All bras are made to order and customised. Once production has begun, we’re unable to cancel the order, as the piece is already in the process of being made and cancelling at this stage would result in wasted materials. We appreciate your understanding and support of small-batch, slow fashion production.

We offer free returns within the UK. For international orders, return shipping is not covered and customers will need to arrange and cover the cost of sending items back.
