FAQS

Gaâla’s apparel is primarily crafted at our own workshop in Lithuania. Additionally, we partner with small-scale ateliers in Belarus, China and Italy.

The upcycled fabrics we repurpose are high quality textiles no longer needed or suitable for production by luxury fashion or textile companies. These fabrics may have been rejected due to overstocking and surplus production and would typically be discarded in landfills. Upcycling these beautiful fabrics gives them a second life and helps to reduce waste and environmental impact.

Refer to our SIZING CHART for general sizing guidelines, and the Sizing Charts on our product pages to see individual measurements for each design. If you prefer a more personal touch, write to us at sizing@gaala.com, and we will be happy to help you find the right size!

A made-to-order item is a product that is not yet in stock. It allows small brands like ours to gauge customer interest and consequent demand, eliminating overproduction and waste.

Due to the limited nature of upcycled fabrics, we limit the made-to-order quantity to the amount we can make. Often, once an item sells out, we cannot make it again.

No, "made-to-order" means we begin creating the item after your order is placed, as it’s not kept in stock. However, it follows standard sizes or designs and is not tailored to your personal measurements.

You can easily tell if an item is available for made-to-order by checking the product page. We indicate whether an item is in stock and available for immediate purchase or if it is currently only available for made-to-order.

If you place an order that includes both a made-to-order item and an in stock item, we'll hold onto the in stock item and ship both items together when the made-to-order item is ready. This way, you'll only need to pay for shipping once, and we can reduce our environmental footprint by consolidating shipments. If you need an in stock item urgently, we recommend that you place a separate order.

Made-to-order items are charged immediately at checkout.
