Custom Sizing

We believe one size never fits all — which is why every Solai piece can be custom-tailored to your exact measurements, at no extra cost.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Select "Custom" size and add the item to your cart.

  2. Go to your cart and scroll down to the box labeled “Add a note to your order.”

  3. Enter your measurements there (see below for what we need).

  4. If you’d like a specific fit (e.g. oversized, snug, extra room around the waist), include that too — we’ll tailor accordingly.

Pricing

Each SOLAI piece is made to order in our own atelier in Galați, Romania, by our all-women team of skilled artisans. Learn more about the atelier →

We take pride in producing slowly, with intention — every garment is crafted with care, not mass-made. Our makers are paid living wages, and our studio is a creative haven, not a factory floor.

We work with sustainable materials, often reclaimed or recycled fabrics rerouted from landfill — because we believe in creating wearable art that respects & honours the earth that inspired it. 

When you invest in SOLAI, you're supporting:

  • Ethical, small-batch production

  • Artisan craftsmanship

  • Regenerative materials

  • A sustainable, art-rooted alternative to fast fashion

We're committed to transparency and will soon introduce Product Passports — QR codes included with each piece — that reveal the item's supply chain, so you can see exactly where, how, and by whom it was made.

Our pricing reflects the true cost of thoughtful creation.
