FAQ

Before Russia's full-scale invasion, our team and office were located in Kyiv. At the moment, most of the team is already back in our cozy office, while the rest of us continue to work remotely from different parts of the world.

Sleeper’s mission is to cultivate love and self-care in everyday life. We believe that every day, through what we do, we increase the number of people who take care of themselves responsibly. For them, and in this spirit, we create cross-functional apparel that makes it possible to focus on the important things in life.

As a brand that deeply cares about sustainability, we are strongly committed to becoming an entirely sustainable brand by 2030. To learn more about our sustainability initiatives, visit the-sleeper.com/responsibility. Here are a few such initiatives below:

Our products are handmade 

Every garment is hand-made, and a minimum of equipment is used in its production, which allows us to reduce our carbon emissions.

We are zero-waste 

We call our production ‘zero waste’ as we only make as many items as we can sell, and we give the left-over fabrics to our tailor Anya, who teaches local children the craft of cutting and sewing. Once a year, we also organize a public sample sale, where we sell our collection samples and any items that have minor defects.

Decent working conditions

It's extremely important for us to provide decent working conditions - safe jobs, employment records, competitive wages, paid vacations. We follow the principles of equality and inclusivity in our recruitment process.

Timelessness

We support slow fashion and strive to create pieces that will last for years.

Natural materials

We use natural materials in our collections such as linen, silk, and viscose. We are aiming for 100% of our materials to be biodegradable by 2030. 

Responsible suppliers

We are guided by our Partnership and Suppliers' Sustainability Policy when working with partners and suppliers. This policy regulates the basic principles of company conduct in terms of respecting human rights and laws, caring for the health of employees and protecting the environment, sustainable production and consumption, as well as ethical principles of business conduct.

We are sorry to hear that!

Sometimes the following situations may occur with parcels that are shown as delivered:

If you’re not entirely satisfied with your Sleeper garments, we are always happy to help you out with an exchange or return, as long as the item purchased was not on sale and you’re within a 2-week exchange/return window.

Here are the 5 easy steps for exchanging or returning your Sleeper item:

1. Make sure that the item is unworn, unwashed, and undamaged and all original packaging and paper tags are in their original condition. Double check that the 14-day period from the delivery date has not expired.
2. Get in touch with our Customer Care team at care@the-sleeper.com to receive your Return Merchandise Authorization form and the return shipping address.

If you received a damaged or an incorrect item, please contact us at care@the-sleeper.com with a photo of the damaged/incorrect item and your order number.

Please keep in mind that all Sale items are final and cannot be returned or exchanged.

This, however, doesn’t affect a separate legal right of cancellation, available only under exceptional circumstances to consumers from the EU and UK. Contact our Customer Care team for any questions regarding this.

On average, it only takes a few days for the money to appear on your account. In some unusual cases, it may take up to 10 business days for the refund to be processed.
