FAQs
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE "BREATHE EASY" MASK and the "Breathe easy” lux mask?
THE "BREATHE EASY" MASK IS MADE WITH A NYLON AND SPANDEX BLEND. IT HAS GOOD STRETCH AND THE MESH IS PRETTY SHEER. IT COMES IN A 2 LAYER AND 3 LAYER OPTION. THAT BEING SAID, THE 3 LAYER MASK IS LESS SHEER AND THE LEAST BREATHABLE BUT STILL WON'T FOG YOUR GLASSES OR GET THAT WET FEELING INSIDE COMPARED TO WEARING A STANDARD COTTON FACE MASK, AND YOU CAN STILL TAKE A DEEP BREATHE OF OXYGEN.
THE “BREATHE EASY” LUX MASK IS A MUCH SOFTER MESH THAN THE ORIGINAL. THESE MASKS ARE AVAILABLE IN A 2 LAYER OPTION ONLY BECAUSE THE MESH IS A SMALLER HOLE. THE BREATHABILITY OF THE LUX MASKS IS SIMILAR TO THE 3 LAYER “BREATHE EASY” MASK.
PLEASE NOTE - THE CHILD SIZE LUX MASKS ARE LONGER THAN THE CHILD SIZE ORIGINAL “BREATHE EASY” MASKS. ALL MASKS ARE HANDMADE AND SLIGHT SIZE DIFFERENCES ARE COMMON.
IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK, WHERE IS MY PACKAGE?
THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT. I STATE THIS SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WEBSITE BUT SOMETIMES IT GETS OVERLOOKED. SHIPPING TIMES CAN BE 1-3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE. THIS IS DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND OF THESE MASKS AND THE FACT THAT EACH MASK IS HANDMADE BY EITHER ME OR MY AMAZING SEAMSTRESSES.
DO YOU OFFER WHOLESALE DISCOUNTS OR BULK ORDER DISCOUNTS?
PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL SO WE CAN TALK MORE, BUT GENERALLY I DON'T OFFER DISCOUNTS BECAUSE OF MY LIMITED QUANTITIES OFFERED AT EACH RESTOCK.
CAN I PREORDER?
SORRY, I DO NOT OFFER PRE-ORDERS. EVERYTHING IS SOLD FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE ON RESTOCK DAYS.
THE BEAD FELL OFF MY EAR LOOP. HOW DO I GET IT BACK ON?
VERY SIMPLE. USING A BOBBY PIN OR THREAD, SLIDE IT UNDER THE LOOP AT THE VERY END. INSERT THE BEAD, WIDE HOLE FIRST OVER THE BOBBY PIN AND SLIDE DOWN UNTIL THE BEAD IS BACK ON THE LOOP. REMOVE THE BOBBY PIN. I ALSO SELL REPLACEMENT BEADS.
HOW DO I WASH MY MASK?
WHEN YOUR MASKS ARRIVE YOU SHOULD WASH THEM BEFORE USE. SOME OF MY MASKS ARE CUSTOM DYED MESH AND THE SMELL FROM THE DYE CAN LINGER. I DO WASH THE MASKS IN DYE FREE/FRAGRANCE FREE DETERGENT BEFORE PACKAGING.
PLEASE HAND WASH YOUR MASK ONLY. THESE ARE MADE WITH A DELICATE MESH FABRIC. USE COLD OR WARM WATER AND A DROP OF DETERGENT AND OPTIONAL ESSENTIAL OIL, I LIKE TO USE DR. BRONNERS. AIR DRY. IF YOU HAVE MASKS THAT ARE DIFFERENT COLORS I RECOMMEND WASHING THE DARK AND LIGHT COLORS SEPARATELY. DARK COLORS MAY BLEED THE FIRST COUPLE OF WASHES DESPITE BEING PRE-WASHED BY ME. SOME DYES MAY BLEED ONTO THE WHITE EAR LOOPS WHEN WASHED. I WILL NOT BE REPLACING MASKS FOR COLOR-BLEEDING.
CAN I BUY YOUR PATTERN? CAN YOU SHARE YOUR FABRIC SUPPLIER?
I DO NOT SELL MY MASK PATTERN. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MAKING YOUR OWN MASK I SUGGEST YOU LOOK ON YOUTUBE AND FIND THE RIGHT MASK PATTERN FOR YOU. I HAVE SPENT HOURS AND HOURS WORKING ON THE RIGHT PATTERN AND FIT AND AT THIS TIME DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SHARING MY SECRETS. IF YOU ARE INSPIRED TO MAKE YOUR OWN, YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT MY HELP, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF RESOURCES ONLINE.
