How My Monthly Drops Work
The Simple Version
Every month = New Exclusive Designs + Core Collection
Order this month → Receive next month
***!EXAMPLE TIMELINE AT BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE!***
Two Ways to Shop
🎨 Monthly Exclusives
Limited designs that drop at the beginning of each month. When the month ends, they're gone forever.
🌲CORE Collection
Our core classics that are always available. Fan favorites that stay in rotation because you keep asking for them.
Both ship together next month!
Your Timeline at a Glance
🎨 Beginning of Month
New exclusive designs drop! Pre-orders open for the entire collection.
🛒 All Month Long
Browse and order from both exclusive drops AND core designs. Everything you order this month ships together, in 4-5 weeks.
🔒 End of Month
Pre-orders close for exclusives (Core Items stay available). We tally up all orders.
📦 Weeks 1-3 After Close
Your entire order goes into production, exclusives and Core Items together.
✈️ Weeks 4-5 After Close
Everything ships directly to your door in one package. You'll get tracking as soon as it's on the way.
Why This System?
✓ You Never Miss Out
Exclusives: Full month to decide. Core Collection: Always there when you need them.
✓ Smart Shipping
Order a Core design today? It ships with this month's batch. One shipment, one tracking number, simple.
✓ Best of Both Worlds
Love that design from 3 months ago? It might be in our core collection. Want something nobody else will have after this month? Grab an exclusive.
✓ Better Prices
By combining all orders into monthly production runs, we keep costs (and your prices) low.

FAQ
"If CORE COLLECTION is always available, why don't they ship immediately?"
We batch all orders monthly for production efficiency. This keeps our prices low and quality high. Think of it as everything getting made fresh in the same batch!
"Can I order JUST CORE items?"
Absolutely! Order whenever you want. They'll ship with that month's batch.
"How do I know what's exclusive vs CORE?"
Exclusives are clearly marked with the month/year. Core Items live in their own section of the store.
"What if I need it sooner?"
While our standard model is monthly batches, occasionally we have ready-to-ship items. Check our "Quick Ship" section.
"Can I modify my order after placing it?"
Hit us up within 48 hours of ordering and we'll help you out. After the month's pre-orders close, everything goes to production.

The Bottom Line
Exclusives or Core: Order this month → Rock it next month.
Every piece is made just for you in monthly batches, which means a little wait but consistent quality and better prices. You're not just buying merch - you're part of an exclusive monthly experience.
