Some of you are new here, so I thought I'd tell you a little bit about how custom designed leggings work.
Essentially my leggings are created by an American designer, voted on by Boutique owners like myself, and then sent to factories in China to be printed.
There are all sorts of designers and they use a variety of factories. This means quality can vary between designers or even factories.
Some factories work quickly, which can be a red flag. In my experience, the highest quality fabric and stitching usually take 6-8 weeks to print. This is why preorders can take some time. Boutique owners (like myself) collaborate with our designers so we can make the minimum print for a pattern (which is high and would be difficult for one person to meet because taste varies). We also send each other extras if someone wants a print they didn't preorder. My experience with what would normally be my competitors has been very positive.
All of us work independently and do not have the restrictions of direct sales companies, which is why I chose to do custom leggings.
The Holiday Pandas and Chinese New Year leggings were my first two prints and I designed them myself using some stock photos, so they are fairly exclusive to my Boutique (this is also why I have so many).
So hey, now you learned something!
