  • Who is Heaven's Atrium?
    Heaven's Atrium is a UK-based indie brand founded in July 2016 and catering primarily to the EGL community (Lolita, Otome etc.) We sell primarily clothing but hope to slowly add more accessories over time. All our clothing is designed by our owner Fola and everything is handmade.
  • Where Do You Find Inspiration?
    "Most of my style inspiration comes from Japanese Lolita or Otome brands that we like such as Milk, Jane Marple, Innocent World & more, but in prints I also like to add in elements of my personal life or things that interest me." - Fola
  • Are Your Items Handmade?
    Yes! All our clothing is completely 100% handmade; this means from the rolls of printed fabric to the final pieces, they are completely hand sewn just for you! Most of our smaller items are still handmade by Fola, whereas most more detailed items are now handmade by our overseas team.
  • Are All Your Prints Original?
    Yes! All our prints are digitally hand drawn or edited by Fola - unless stated otherwise - before being send to our fabric supplier to be printed onto the fabric that is then sent back to be sewn.
  • Are Your Fabrics/Prints Available To Buy?
    Unfortunately not. As our fabrics/prints are custom designed and made specifically for our designs, they are not available for sale in any other form than those we provide. However, we do offer our H.A Bespoke service if you wish to have a unique piece made using one of our prints.
  • Are Your Series/Collections Timed?
    Unfortunately, yes. Most items go through reservation followed by a general release, but both of these are quite restricted. Reservation periods are the best time to order as prices are usually discounted 10%, you are guaranteed to get your size and this is also the only time we take flat rate custom size orders; reservation periods generally last 2-4 weeks but extensions may occur if a piece is particularly popular. ​ General releases only occur if there are left of stock or fabric for clothing, however sizing is much more limited and custom sizing is typically no longer available. For accessories or jewellery, general releases will run until stock runs out. ​ That said, there's always re-releases!
  • Will You Ever Re-Release ____?
    So far we have yet to do a re-release but if we see a demand for a particular piece to return then we will definitely take that into consideration - if there's something you want to see, be sure to let us know via our social media!
  • What Does 'Reservation' Mean?
    Since all our clothing items are made to order, we typically have a 2-4 week long reservation period when we release a new series or collection. ​ Reservations usually have an allocated shipping period so you know when your order is likely to ship, but this may change depending on order numbers. Reservations items are usually discounted by 10% and these periods are the only time when custom sizing is available, so it's definitely a good time to order if you don't mind the wait! Remember, general releases only happen when there is leftover stock after reservations.
  • What Is A 'General Release'?
    General releases only happen when there is leftover stock or fabric after a reservation period. For example, if we make 50 skirts and only sell 45, the remaining 5 will be made available for general release. This typically means significantly shorter waiting times as the pieces are ready made, but the sizes are very limited and the price is slightly higher when compared to reservations. Also custom sizing is not available. General releases are never guaranteed either, so if you can make the reservation we recommend you do!
  • What Does 'Out of Stock' Mean?
    If we find there is particularly high demand for a particular item (typically accessory) to the point where we can not produce on time due to the amount of orders we have, then that item will be marked as 'Out of Stock' until we have completed or are near to completeing all existing orders. 'Out of Stock' does not mean 'Sold Out', i.e. this product will be restocked soon. Checking our Journal page is a good way to keep up to date with when items will be restocked.
  • What Does 'Sold Out' Mean?
    If a product has the 'Sold Out' label on it, that means it has been discontinued. You'll see this a lot when we're preparing to move from one collection to the next. However, if we see that there is still a big demand for a specific product, we may decide to hold the new collection off for a little while and do a second reservation period or re-release the old collection in future.
  • How Long Do Orders Take To Prepare?
    We hate to say it, but it depends. At the moment we do not hold stock of our clothing during reservations, meaning every piece is made to order - however for non-clothing items, generally it only takes a few days for an item to ship (unless there is clothing in the order). The estimated processing time is listed on each item but during busy periods, it may take longer for an order to be shipped. If there is a delay with your order, we will usually contact you directly, but if you have questions about your order then please contact our customer services.
  • Do You Accept Payment Plans?
    Yes! We offer payment plans of up to 3 months (4 monthly payments) with no minimum spend, on all items including pre-order items (subject to availability.) ​ If you would like to start a new payment plan, then please contact us via our customer services with 1) a list of items you wish to purchase and 2) your delivery address so we can calculate shipping. We will then discuss with you the number of payments (depending on how many months your plan is) and finalise the payment breakdown. ​ Please note that you may cancel your payment plan at any time, but if you have made the initial payment, this will be held as a deposit and will not be returned to you.
  • Do You Do Rush Orders?
    Rush Orders: Orders bumped to the top of the waiting list due to urgency. Yes, we do but only for special circumstances, such as photoshoots or fashion shows. If you think your circumstances are suitable for a rush order then please email us explaining your circumstance and which items you would like to purchase BEFORE you place your order. If your rush order is for an event, please include the event page or proof of the event in your email. We will aim to email you back within 1 working day to discuss the details of your order. The price of a rush order will be negociated depending on the number of outstanding orders, the size of the order and the urgency of the event.
  • What Is Your Return, Cancellation & Exchange Policy?"
    Returns: All our sales are final; we do not accept returns. Cancellation: You can cancel your order within the first 7 calendar days of it being placed. If you cancel on the same day as your order (UK time) you will recieve a full refund. If you cancel within 3 days of your order (UK time) you will have to pay a 30% cancellation fee for your order. If you cancel between 4 - 7 days of your order (UK time) you will have to pay a 65% cancellation fee. Cancellations after 7 calendar days will not be accepted. Exchanges: Exchanges are only accepted if the item you ordered was not what you recieved (i.e. wrong colourway or size), or if your item is defective. Please contact customer services if you believe there is an issue with your order and we will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
  • Do You Support Group Orders?
    Yes, if you and a group of friends would like to place a group order that's more welcome! You can place your order normally through our web store. For some larger orders we may need to ship them in more than one package, but if that is the case we will definitely let you know beforehand.
  • How Does Your H.A. Bespoke System Work?
    After receiving your inquiry via our H.A. Bespoke page, we'll email you back to discuss the details of your bespoke order; this would be the ideal time to ask any questions and let us know any key information about what you would like. Then is the design stage - each individual piece will count as a new design, and there's no limit to how many designs you can have done in one order. Once your design is finished you have the option to have your piece produced by our in-house seamstress, or you can keep your design and have it made by a local seamstress. For this reason there will be an upfront fee for designs. Should you decide to have us create the piece for you, next will be securing the necessary fabrics. If you are providing your own fabrics then that is completely welcome, but you can also use one of our existing print fabrics or have us design a brand new print for you; however the latter two options will incur charges. We'll give you a breakdown of any other materials such as lining and lace that may be necessary for your item. ​ Finally will be the creation process, where we take everything off the page and turn your dream dress into a reality, and of course, make sure it fits like heaven!
  • How Much Does A Bespoke Piece Cost?
    Each bespoke piece is priced differently depending on the structure and complexity of the piece. We have a pricing system on our H.A. Bespoke page to give you an idea but this is just a guideline, the only way to find out is to actually inquire. We always try to make each piece as affordable as possible, and you might be surprised by how cheap it turns out to be!
  • How Long Do Bespoke Pieces Take To Make?
    Every piece is different and it will also depend on our current sewing scheduel and outstanding order. We will always ask you if there is a deadline you need your piece by and let you know if that is feesible. We will also always give you an estimate of how long your piece will take to make once we have an idea of the design.
  • Can I Get A Bespoke Piece on Payment Plan?
    Yes, you can however the terms will be slightly diferent and your piece may take slightly longer to make. Also, your initial design fee must still be paid in full as a non-refundable deposit.
  • Can You Make Me A Custom Print?
    Of course! We'd be more than happy to help you create a custom print for your piece or just send you the digital files of your print for you to print and use yourself. Custom prints start at $120 and are priced depending on complexity. Custom prints also take longer to make so we suggest you make your request in good time. Note: Custom prints are still properly of Heaven's Atrium LTD and are for personal use only. They are not to be reproduced or sold for commercial purposes under any circumstances.
  • Can I Have A Piece Designed By You, But Not Made By You?"
    Absolutely! We take payments for design fees separately, so there's no obligation for you to have your pieces made by us if you have your own seamstress or tailors. We can also help make detailed annotations with fashion termonology for easier understanding if necessary - just let us know. Note: Designs are still property of Heaven's Atrium LTD and are for personal use only. They are not to be reproduced or sold for commercial purposes under any circumstances.
  • Are Bespoke Pieces Covered By Warranty?
    Yes! Bespoke pieces are covered by the same 1 year warranty as our other handmade pieces.
