The Beauty of Handmade

At Kara By Togo, many of our garments are handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques and carefully selected fabrics from West Africa and beyond.

Unlike mass-produced clothing, each garment is individually cut, sewn, and finished by hand. These handcrafted details contribute to the uniqueness and character of every piece.

Fabric Placement

Many of our garments feature wax prints, hand-dyed textiles, woven fabrics, and specialty materials with distinctive patterns and motifs.

Because each garment is individually cut, pattern placement may vary from the product photographs shown on our website.

No two garments will be exactly identical.

These variations are considered a hallmark of authentic artisan craftsmanship and are not considered defects.

Hand-Dyed Fabrics

Some fabrics used by Kara By Togo are hand-dyed or artisan-produced.

As a result, slight variations in:

• Color intensity
• Dye distribution
• Texture
• Pattern appearance

may occur from one garment to another.

These variations are natural characteristics of handcrafted textiles.

Handmade Construction

Our garments are created by skilled artisans rather than automated factory production.

Minor variations in stitching, finishing details, and construction techniques may occur and are considered part of the garment’s unique handmade character.

Such variations do not affect the quality, wearability, or value of the garment.

Natural Characteristics of Fabrics

Natural fibers and artisan-produced textiles may contain slight irregularities, including:

• Variations in weave
• Texture differences
• Natural slubs
• Minor pattern inconsistencies

These characteristics are normal and help distinguish authentic handcrafted fabrics from mass-produced materials.

Product Photography

We make every effort to accurately display garment colors and details.

However, colors may appear differently depending on:

• Device screens
• Monitor settings
• Lighting conditions
• Photography conditions

Actual garment colors may vary slightly from those displayed online.

Limited Edition Fabrics

Many Kara By Togo fabrics are sourced in limited quantities.

When an exact fabric is no longer available, we reserve the right to contact the customer regarding suitable alternatives before production begins.

Commitment to Quality

While variations are a natural part of artisan craftsmanship, every garment undergoes quality review before shipment.

We are committed to delivering garments that meet our standards for craftsmanship, fit, and presentation.

Acceptance of Handmade Characteristics

By purchasing from Kara By Togo, customers acknowledge and accept that handcrafted garments may contain natural variations that distinguish them from mass-produced products.

These characteristics are not considered defects and are not grounds for return, refund, or exchange.
