Frequently Asked Questions
What does this design reference?
This design is inspired by the popular ‘morally grey’ trope found throughout fantasy literature and the BookTok community. It celebrates the idea that being the ‘villain’ in someone else’s story is often a byproduct of standing up for yourself and your own narrative.
Can I add a custom name to this sweatshirt?
Yes! We offer a personalization upsell where you can have a name, date, or short quote embroidered on the sleeve for an additional $5. This makes it a truly one-of-a-kind personalized gift for any book lover.
What is the best way to choose a size for this design?
Since the embroidery is quite large (18cm x 24cm), we recommend choosing your standard size for a classic fit or sizing up for that oversized, cozy dark academia sweater look that is currently trending.
