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 fibres
• 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

Every piece starts with Aditi in her London studio, where she develops and births each design, before moving to our 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 in batches, so timelines vary and are best treated as estimates. As a rough guide, lingerie may take around 4–8 weeks and clothing around 1 week from your order date. Please check the product description for a more accurate idea, or email us. Working this way helps us avoid overproducing or wasting fabric.

Packaging

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

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

Because our pieces are made in small batches, and our lingerie is made to order, please read this carefully before purchasing.

Eligible items can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of delivery, unworn, unwashed, and with any original tags and packaging. All return and exchange shipping is arranged and paid for by you using a tracked service, so please keep your tracking number, as we can't be responsible for items lost in transit.

Lingerie

All bras are made to your measurements. After ordering, we'll email to confirm your sizing before production begins. If you're unsure, follow our Sizing Guide or get in touch.

If measurements aren't confirmed and the piece doesn't fit as a result, we can't offer a refund or exchange, as it was made to your stated size. If they are confirmed and there's still a fit issue, we'll always make it right. Exchanges require a new piece to be made, so the same production time applies.

For hygiene reasons, knickers cannot be returned or exchanged under any circumstances. Once production has begun we can't cancel an order.

Clothing

Returns and exchanges are accepted on eligible clothing within 30 days of delivery, unworn, unwashed, and with any original tags and packaging. Return shipping must be arranged and paid for by you using a tracked service, so please keep your tracking number.

We strongly recommend confirming your measurements carefully before we begin production to avoid this.
