Bust is best

Holi Boli garments usually have a tailored fit around the shoulders and bust, so for the best fit, we recommend prioritising your bust measurement and choosing the size that is closest to it.

The waist and hips on our garments are usually looser and often adjustable, so we suggest choosing the size that best fits your bust.

Waist for pants

Our jeans and denim pants are often made from stretch denim, so they have some flexibility around the bum, hips and thighs. However, the waistband is less stretchy, so when buying denim pants, we recommend choosing the size that most closely matches your waist measurement.

Jumpsuits

For jumpsuits, we recommend looking at both your bust and hip measurements and choosing the size that accommodates your largest measurement. The waists on our jumpsuits are usually more generous than the measurements shown on the size chart and can be cinched in with a sash belt.

If you need any sizing advice or have questions, please feel free to message our designer and patternmaker, Ana, at ana@holiboli.com

Holi Boli product is coming to you from our flagship store/HQ (head quarters) at 462 Ulster Street, Hamilton, New Zealand. Domestic postage (in NZ) usually arrives within a week. For international destinations allow two to three weeks. 

There are some occasions when your parcel will come from our Wellington store or from multiple locations. However, most of the time it will come from our Hamilton store.

Postal services are always busier during December and January so order early to receive your purchase in time for Christmas. For international destinations, please consider there may be postage delays around your local festival times.

We use NZ Post Courier and use compostable bags that can be turned inside out and composted.

You can choose to use another courier also if you like. That option does come up at our checkout. Often our international shipments use FedEx or DHL.

If you think your parcel may have got lost please contact us at holiboli@live.com and we will help you out. We will be tracking your parcel and take responsibility to see it safely reach you. 

Holi Boli takes the responsibility to get your product to your door seriously!

es! Just email us at holiboli@live.com and let us know what you’d like to purchase. We’ll send you our bank details, and once we’ve received your payment, we’ll post your order to you.

If the garment you purchase isn’t what you were looking for or is the wrong size, please email us at holiboli@live.com to let us know. We’ll advise you where to post it to.

Returns or exchanges must be requested within two weeks of receiving your purchase. We’re happy to offer a refund or exchange (whatever you prefer) provided the garment is returned within this timeframe, is unworn, has its original tags attached, and was not purchased on sale or at a reduced price.

We want you to feel empowered wearing an ethically made garment that you truly love.

If you purchased your garment from one of our stockists, any return or exchange needs to be made directly with that stockist, and their individual store policies will apply.

We love it when others want to join us on our mission to empower women! If you are wanting to financially support the ladies at our sewing house in India and the work that Holi Boli does with our partner production houses (in Northeast India and Cambodia) you can do this by buying a Holi Boli Journal. Proceeds from your journal purchase help to keep our teams empowered with wages plus provides extra support for our communities, such as covering medical bills and unexpected needs as they arise.

There is a ‘tip’ option at the checkout where you can choose to donate more should you wish to. 

Other ways to support Holi Boli are by giving us a Google or facebook review or by sharing our story and our social media posts.

We do manufacture for other designers and retailers in NZ who want a trustworthy and transparent supply chain. We make small runs in woven (non-stretch) natural fabrics - organic cotton, linen and raw denim. Our seamstresses are some of the best in India and we pay more than a living wage, hence our wholesale pricing is fair and more expensive than a mass producing sweatshop.
