Our goal at MATE is to provide full transparency to our customers in our lead times. When estimating our pre-order ship date, we try to cushion with the latest possible ship date.

What if my order contains both pre-order and in-stock items?

Shipment of your in-stock items may be delayed until your pre-order item is ready for shipping. To ensure faster delivery of your in-stock items, we recommend placing two separate orders - one for your pre-order items and one for your in-stock items.

Can I cancel my pre-order?

Once the order has processed and shipped, it can no longer be canceled and you will need to proceed through our return process, here.

What is Organic Cotton?

Organic Cotton uses 87% less water than conventionally grown cotton and emits 45% less greenhouse gases. Conventional cotton is also notorious for using more pesticides than any other crop in the world. The use of these chemicals has led to the hospitalization of up to 1 million farmworkers every year. That’s some dirty talk we absolutely cannot get behind. By using Organic Cotton, we keep the people we work with and the products we sell safe. Better for your body and better for the earth.

What are low-impact dyes?

Low-impact dyes are known to be more eco-friendly as they do not use toxic chemicals. Also, they have a higher absorption rate, which means they require less water. Typical clothing manufacturing uses over 8,000 synthetic chemicals. Many of these chemicals are known to be carcinogenic and hazardous to our health. We believe that what you put on your skin matters.

Where is your product made?

We produce goods in Los Angeles, Peru, and India, partnering with the most socially and environmentally responsible factories. Our domestic factories are located within 15 miles of our Headquarters in Los Angeles, which means we are able to check in on a weekly, if not daily, basis.

Are your factories fair trade certified and ethical?

Our factories are not certified but meet fair trade criteria. California labor laws are always enforced. Ethical manufacturing is a top priority for us.

What materials do you use to ship your orders?

Online orders are shipped with recycled paper mailers and boxes that are recyclable and made in Los Angeles. Your garment will arrive wrapped in recycled tissue paper and a recyclable hangtag attached. We do not ship any branded materials other than the paper order confirmation slip in order to reduce our single-use waste.

What kind of thread do you use?

Not many people think of this but polyester thread is very common as it is cheap and durable. We make sure to use cotton thread whenever possible, and hope to use Organic cotton thread in the near future.

Is your product vegan?

Yes, no animals were harmed here! We use natural, plant-based fabrics.

Is your office eco-friendly?

Yes. As a team, we try our best to reduce our environmental footprint. We opt for eco-friendly office supplies and avoid plastic when possible. We compost our food scraps through LA Compost and make recycling a priority. We are proud to have stand up desks made from sustainably harvested bamboo and scrap wood fibers. Our bathroom is stocked with organic tampons, eco toilet paper and earth-friendly soap. When we need to crack open a cold brew or kombucha, we make sure they are in glass bottles.

How does your sizing run?

To find out how an item fits, consult our size guide and fit notes on all of our product pages. Most of our product has a relaxed fit, because who doesn’t love comfort? If you need additional help, please email us at care@matethelabel.com

Explain your price point?

At MATE, we believe that profit, values and sustainability can co-exist. We continue to strive to offer the most affordable price point possible, while maintaining a profitable business and without compromising our values. When you purchase from MATE, you are supporting a healthier and cleaner eco-system. Thank you!

How do I care for my garment?

Please reference our Materials page for care instructions per fabrication

What sizes do you offer?

We currently offer sizes XS - 3X. 

Will you be offering more inclusive sizing in the future?

We are proud to now offer 1X-3X sizing in our some of our Essentials styles and colors.

Where is your product made?

All of our factories are located within 15 miles of our Headquarters in Los Angeles. Our main factory is only 4 miles away, which means we are able to check in on a weekly if not daily basis. We are proud to have a low carbon footprint

What is Organic Cotton?

Organic Cotton uses 87% less water than conventionally grown cotton and emits 45% less greenhouse gases. Conventional cotton is also notorious for using more pesticides than any other crop in the world. The use of these chemicals has led to the hospitalization of up to 1 million farmworkers every year.

Typical clothing manufacturing uses over 8,000 synthetic chemicals. Many of these chemicals are known to be carcinogenic and hazardous to our health. We believe that what you put on your skin matters.

Why do MATE colors sometimes appear differently across fabric types?

Ever had MATEs with the same name who looked different? It's normal! And it's the same with MATE styles because dye holds onto each fabric differently. Our fabrics have varying characteristics, like base color, content, weight & the way it's knit, so each absorbs dye in their own special way. If a fabric has a more natural-colored base vs a more pure white base, it’ll result in a different shade. Additionally, no fabric production run is exactly the same. Even slight variances between runs can cause the fabric to absorb dye differently and result in minor shade differences. Every fabrication requires a unique dye formulation to hit the same color tone, and even then, some variance is to be expected. For example, the Rose dye formula for Organic Terry differs from the makeup of the formula for Organic Stretch. To ensure that colors across dye batches are consistent, our factories make sure that the total weight of the batch as well as the ratio of dye to weight of garment is consistent. Water temperatures are kept consistent at 140-160F. To ensure no color discrepancy in your set, we recommend that you opt for purchasing a set in the same fabric. If you're ever unsure, email us at care@matethelabel.com and our team would be happy to answer any questions.

How often do you restock products?

We do our best to work with our factories to restock products as quickly as possible. We aim to keep our classic colors in-stock year round and new colors that we introduce each season are not guaranteed to be restocked. As a sustainable brand with a small team, we focus on quality over quantity — maintaining our ethical supply chain & clean material standards is our number one priority and we will never jeopardize these values to mass produce clothing fast.  That’s something we are very proud of!

You can sign up to be the first to know when products are back in stock -- just select your size and color on a product page and enter your email address to join the waitlist. We’ll email you as soon as it is restocked!

How often do you send emails?

We get it, inboxes can be overwhelming. We do our best to keep our emails purposeful, but if they’re too much for you, you are able to unsubscribe from our emails at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” or by contacting us at care@matethelabel.com.

Can I combine Promotion Codes?

Our system only accepts one promo code at a time, and promo codes can only be applied to full priced items. May the best code win…

What if my Promotion Code is expired?

Unfortunately, we can’t honor expired promotion codes, but for first access to any upcoming promotions, subscribe to our emails

Returns/Exchanges

During our sale period, we are offering an extended return window. Items purchased during the sale will have a return window of 45 days. 30% off items are available for STORE CREDIT OR EXCHANGE ONLY. All items discounted higher than 30% are FINAL SALE, and are ineligible for return. Exceptions will not be made for sizing, fit, or fabric issues. Our Customer Care team is happy to answer any questions you may have about a style prior to your purchase, as we understand that purchasing final sale items online can be a little tricky.

If an item is marked as final sale at the time of the requested price adjustment, the item on your order will be marked as final sale as well.

Order Edits

We are very limited in our ability to edit orders as we are moving quickly to get them shipped during this busy period. If you need to cancel your order or change your shipping address, please contact our Care Team immediately. If your order has not started processing at our warehouse, we can accommodate a cancellation or address change. We are unable to add, change, or remove items in an order. Once the warehouse has begun processing your order, we are unable to make any changes to your order, including cancellations and address changes.

Shipping

Due to the high volume of orders we anticipate this time of year, we are unable to offer expedited shipping options. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the carriers' shipping times during the holidays, as they may experience delays. Standard shipping time is 3-7 business days after the order is processed.For the best shipping experience possible, we recommend adding shipping insurance through Order Protection to your order.We recommend placing your orders as early as possible to ensure timely delivery.
