We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with conscious expression to deliver uplifting and thought provoking apparel. It’s not just what we create and design —it’s how and why we do it that sets us apart.

We’ll add at least one new design to our collection every quarter. Subscribe to our monthly newsletter to receive updates about upcoming drops and other information that may uplift you and/or your community.

Our processing and shipping time is approximately 5 - 7 days. We kindly ask for your patience so we can thoroughly review and process each order to ensure you receive high quality apparel. Additionally, our processing and shipping time allows us to overcome any supply chain issues with minimal impact to you.

All orders are shipped via USPS. We offer Priority and Standard Shipping options. If you select Priority Shipping during checkout, you can expect to receive your order in 1 - 3 days. If you select Standard Shipping, you can expect to receive your order in 3 - 5 days. Of note, delivery times to Alaska and Hawaii typically take two additional days. Please keep in mind that shipping delays beyond our control may occur. In these instances we will do our best to provide prompt and accurate delivery updates.

At Sawubona Life, we take immense pride in the quality of our conscious apparel. Each item undergoes a rigorous quality control process to ensure it meets our high standards before it ever reaches your door. Because of this dedication to excellence, defective merchandise is a very rare occurrence.

Defective Merchandise & Oversights

In the unlikely event that you receive a product with a defect due to our oversight, we will provide a replacement of the same style, size, and color at no additional cost to you. Please note that we are not responsible for mishaps or damages caused by shipping facilities or transit handling.

Size Exchanges

We want you to feel as good as you look in our designs. All of our tees are True-To-Size! If you find that you need a different size, we do grant exchanges. However, we highly suggest that you double check with our size chart before placing your order. To be eligible for an exchange:

* The original item must be returned in the same condition in which it was received.

* It must be returned in its original packaging.

* Customers are responsible for all shipping costs associated with both returning the item for an exchange, and the new item to be shipped.

To initiate a return for a defective item or a size exchange, please reach out to us through our Contact Page so we can assist you personally.
