Divine FAQ

How do I buy a piece?

Purchasing a Divine piece requires completing an application to ensure the right alignment between wearer and garment. Applications can be submitted in advance or during a release. Approved clients receive a private invitation before public collections are announced.

How do I get a bespoke piece?

We create only a handful of bespoke pieces per year. Each one takes months of design and prototyping, and is reserved for those who align with Divine’s values. To inquire, contact allocations@divine.design.

When are new pieces released?

We release new work in capsules which contain limited allocations for a limited set of SKUs. Approved members may be invited privately, and our public email list will be notified at time of release.

How long does it take to receive my order?

Production typically takes 2-3 months. Each collection is different and each piece is made to order. Timelines vary based on design complexity, fitting requirements, and delivery region.

How does the fitting process work?

Each piece is tailored to your exact measurements to ensure optimal comfort and performance. You’ll complete a digital measurement profile or be scheduled for an in-person session. We partner with tailors in most major cities.
