How do I care for my digitally printed natural fabric?

What is your return policy for Fabrics?

  • All fabric sales are final. We do not offer refunds or exchanges for incorrect purchases or change of mind once fabric has been cut. Please follow the care instructions as outlined in product description as we are unable to accept claims on fabrics which have been laundered incorrectly. The colour of fabrics as depicted online cannot be guaranteed by Lordy Dordie / APPLiK  Fabric Printing due to variances beyond our control such as computer monitor settings. The printing of custom designed fabric is quite a complex process so you may come across a fault occasionally. Lordy Dordie Fabrics are checked multiple times throughout the process, but the odd fault may get missed. In the unlikely event that we have sent you the wrong fabric or you find that your fabric is faulty, we will replace the fabric at no charge or if we are unable to do this due to the product being unavailable we will refund both the fabric cost and the shipping fee (if applicable). Returns are not accepted for change of mind. All claims on faulty items must be made within 14 days of purchase & proof of purchase must be provided.  To make a claim please email us at shop@lordydordie.com .

Who prints your Lordy Dordie fabrics?

  • All Lordy Dordie fabrics are printed locally in Brisbane by APPLiK , they provide small, medium and large run, bespoke fabric printing on both natural and man-made textiles. APPLiK print Natural textiles using water-based pigment inks. Pigment printing is direct to fabric printing technique that is free from harsh solvents, acids or excessive water consumption. Once printed, the fabric is heat cured to ensure colour fastness and wash-resistance. At Lordy Dordie, we love to support local, so we are very excited to be printing our fabric range through a local Brisbane fabric printer.
