ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
I get fabrics, supplies, raw materials and everything else, from all over the world, including here in Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, United States and Europe. All our 100% cotton tank top and t-shirt fabrics are from the United States, and specially dyed to our custom colors.

PRODUCT MAKERS
I used to be the only one sewing and making everything. Those were crazy times! Now I have help from both full-time and part-time sewers in Singapore and the Philippines, where I have set up a sweatshop-free workshop and living space, with help from my dearest filipino friends, for otherwise jobless and/or homeless, poverty-stricken women whom we have taught and trained sewing skills as a form of livelihood and provided fair wages. I try as much as possible to support only small businesses and individual crafters for all other non-sewn products that are not made by myself.
Every single product is designed only by myself, and I am the only one making all the plushies and felt/fabric brooches, because I love making them too much. Not so good for my bone-thin crooked fingers. Recently I managed to hire my dearest mummy on board part-time to help out with these products! Hooray for mums!

PRODUCT CARE
Silkscreened tops - Handwash is recommended. Otherwise, cool gentle machine-wash in a mesh laundry bag and line dry. Do not iron on print, invert it and low-heat iron on the inside.
Bags - Use only a fuzz-free cloth slightly dampened with warm water or with warm very mild soap water, and wipe gently at dirtied spot. For cotton twill, denim, and corduroy fabrics, you may use Scotchgard's Fabric and Upholstery Cleaner, can be bought from any Cold Storage or home fix-it stores. Ironing is not recommended. If you insist, only low-heat iron and use a pressing cloth between the fabric and the iron to prevent any damage done to the fabric. Any white cotton linen cloth will do, otherwise an old pillowcase or a lightweight dishtowel will work as well.
Plush - Use only a fuzz-free cloth slightly dampened with warm water or with warm very mild soap water, and wipe gently at dirtied spot. Please note that synthetic felt will ball after lots of lovin' and huggin'.
Cushion/seat covers - Gentle machine-wash in a mesh laundry bag, low-tumble dry. Do not iron on print, invert it and low-heat iron on the inside.
Corduroy coasters - Gentle handwash or machine-wash. Low heat iron.
Everything else - A very slightly damp fuzz-free cloth should do the trick.

Please take care in use and be gentle while cleaning. We treat most of our products as usable art pieces, and there shouldn't be any rough handling unless stated otherwise.

To check your order status, log into your account for your order shipping information. If the tracking results show that your package was delivered, follow up with your local post office for more information. The Package Reference Number provided for Registered Mail is by no means a tracking number, and only confirms that your package was securely shipped out. You may also use the number to check your package status at your local post office. Once an order package has been delivered to the postal carrier, the item becomes that carrier's responsibility and we are no longer liable. We are not responsible for postal transit times, which are provided by the carrier, and may vary with package origin and destination, especially during peak periods.

  • All Registered and Express packages need to be signed for upon delivery. If no one is available to sign for the package, the postal service will leave a notification with further instructions for pick-up or re-delivery, and it is the customer's responsibility to follow through in obtaining the package. `

  • MISSING/DAMAGED ORDER
    We apologize for any problems that may have occurred with your order during mail transit. Please email us at orders at forestprints dot com with the Subject 'Damaged Order' within 2 days of receiving your order, or email us immediately if your order hasn't arrived after 3 weeks.
    We are not responsible for any packages lost or damaged while in transit to a destination. Postal insurance for Registered Mail is only up to a maximum amount of SGD60 (subject to postal terms and conditions). Full insurance is available only for Express Shipping. Insurance cannot cover lost packages due to an incorrect address provided by a customer at checkout. We are not responsible for the loss of these packages. If you entered a wrong address at checkout and the package is sent back to us we will ship it out to you as soon as you confirm with us your correct address (extra shipping fees will be required).
    In the case of a lost/damage/refund claim being filed, it can take about 1 to 3 months to be resolved. We are unable to make any refunds until the courier has refunded us for the insured amount claimed. A package must be missing for 30 days from the date it was shipped before a claim can be filed. If a package/item has been damaged in transit, you must mail it to me, no later than 2 days after the date it was delivered to you, so that I can present it as physical evidence to the courier in order to file a claim (Shipping for this can only be refunded after the claim has been resolved).

    Please make sure you feel comfortable with these terms before placing your order, as no replacements and no refunds can be made if an order is lost or damaged while in transit. `
