FAQs
Q1. What is "अलबेली"?
अलबेली is a zero-waste lifestyle brand that empowers 200+ women artisans across Rajasthan. We transform textile waste into beautiful, handcrafted products—while preserving traditional Indian craft techniques like patchwork, applique, kantha, and more.
Q2. What do you mean by “upcycled”?
We use leftover or discarded fabric from the fashion industry and give it a second life by turning it into usable products like bags, pouches, journals, home décor, and more—without compromising on style or utility.
Q3. Why do colors and prints vary in your products?
Because we work with textile waste, each product depends on the fabric available at that time. While the design remains the same, the colors and patterns may vary—making each piece uniquely yours.
Q4. How long will it take for my order to arrive?
- Small items: 7–10 working days
- Large items (like quilts, bedding): 2–3 weeks
Delivery timelines may vary during holidays or due to unforeseen circumstances.
Q5. Can I track my order?
Absolutely. Once your order is shipped, you’ll receive a tracking link via email & WhatsApp.
Q6. Do you accept returns or exchanges?
We are a growing business and we only accept returns in cases where you have received a defective or incorrect product. Please reach out to us within 48 hours of delivery with unboxing images.
Q7. How does my purchase support women?
Every अलबेली purchase provides fair wages, dignity, and independence to women artisans—many of whom had never earned their own income before. Your support directly fuels skill training, employment, and community development.
