WHAT DOES SLOW FASHION MEAN AND HOW DOES THE DESIGN PROCESS WORK ?
Slow Fashion means that you are buying pieces developed in sizes that will be handcrafted in limited quantities, adopting the Couture tailoring process. Like every Slow Fashion brand, I value Quality over quantity, this is what makes it special and exclusive!
My entire design process, from initial sketches, to patterns, to the final product, takes place in my studio in Bellport, NY. Collections are made using only the best materials, personally hand-picked from fabric warehouses. All pieces are made in limited quantities depending on the availability of textiles.
WHOLESALE INQUIRIES AND PRESS
For wholesale inquiries and press, please get in touch! I would love to discuss the opportunity!
CARE
I suggest that you dry-clean all of your delicate special pieces unless the label says to wash them on delicate cycle with cold water and line dry them.
If needed, always remember to use your iron on low or to use your iron temperature accordingly to your garment's fabric.

Orders shipping of garments within the continental US is always FREE and shipped via USPS Ground (2-3 days delivery).
Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, and other US territories are shipped via USPS Ground mail for FREE.
I do not offer International Shipping at this time but you can contact me and I can arrange that for you!
After shipping, you will be provided with a tracking number so that you can follow your special Elisabetta Bellu piece from my studio to your door.

Preorders: Please allow between 2 and 3 weeks. I'll be working for you and I will ship as soon as your piece is ready. Lead times can vary depending on volume of orders.
RETURNS AND EXCHANGE - CAN I RETURN/EXCHANGE MY SPECIAL PIECE AND IF SO, HOW?
Items must be returned within 7 business days from the day of receipt. If 7 business days have passed since the receipt of your package, I do not offer a refund.
As all Elisabetta Bellu pieces are quality controlled by hand prior to shipping, in order to be eligible for a return items must be unworn, with no marks or damage and in the same condition in which they were received. Items must be in their original packaging and with tags upon return.
