Where can I buy your work?

You can buy my artwork and merch here at my main shop, HIMAWARI '91. You can also purchase any downloadable goods, such as zines, sketchbooks, etc, here

I have one stockist, Newtown HQ in Astoria, Queens, so you can now buy my art and merch at a brick-and-mortar.

SHIPPING//

How long does it take for my order to ship?

I make every effort to get your order to you as quickly as possible—usually packing orders within 3-5 days. I typically ship on Fridays, excluding holidays. Any orders placed Friday through Sunday will be processed the following week.

*Please note that during high volume seasons, orders may take longer to process.

Do you ship internationally?

As of now, I do not offer international shipping.

What methods of shipping do you offer?

I offer USPS and UPS shipping.

Can I get my order sooner with express shipping?

Yes! I offer USPS Priority Mail and UPS 3-day select shipping, which typically arrives in 2-3 business days to US addresses.

How can I track my order?

An automated e-mail containing your tracking number will be sent to the e-mail address used when placing your order. This e-mail is separate from your order confirmation e-mail and will be sent out once your order has been shipped. Please check your spam/junk folder for this notification as it can sometimes end up there due to different mail servers. If for some reason you don’t receive it within 4 business days of order placement, please send me an e-mail with the subject line “Tracking Inquiry” to [email protected]

*Please also note that it can take 1-2 days for the tracking to update.

My order stopped tracking/is lost in transit. What do I do?

USPS (and occasionally UPS) tracking updates are not constantly updated in real time. Please keep checking your tracking status for 7 days and you should start to see updates.

After 7 days, if you don’t see an update please send me an e-mail with the subject line “Tracking Inquiry” to [email protected]

When will I receive my order?

As I mentioned, I make every effort to get your order to you as quickly as possible. Once shipped, most domestic orders will arrive in 7- business days for standard delivery. For international orders, please allow for more shipping time. Depending on the number of orders I receive in a day, it may take longer to get your order shipped out due to packaging time. Please note that during the holidays' orders may take longer than usual. Please rest assured that your order will be arriving soon. However, please contact me on the contact page or at [email protected] with the subject line "Tracking Inquiry" if you feel your package is taking longer than expected to arrive.

APPAREL//

Are your garments sized for men or women?

My garments are unisex, so they run larger as a result.

All sizes currently offered will be listed in my shop, HIMAWARI‘91. Unfortunately, UNLESS THERE IS A LARGE ENOUGH DEMAND, I am unable to offer additional sizes at this time.

GENERAL INFO//

Washing Instructions

In order to preserve colors and design, I recommend most of my apparel be washed cold, inside out, with like colors, and with minimal to no bleaching. Please line-dry or tumble-dry on a low setting. Do not iron directly over designs.

Will my Gigi Murakami / HIMAWARI '91 apparel shrink in the wash?

Most of my apparel is 100% cotton, so please keep this in mind when washing and drying. To prevent shrinking as much as possible, I recommend washing them in cold water and line dry or in a low-heat/delicate setting.

Do you offer gift cards/gift certificates for your store?

I do not offer gift cards at this time.

I found a coupon for your store on [website]. How can I apply it to my order?

I announce any and all active coupons/discount codes on my social media, newsletter, and store banners. When a coupon/discount is active, there will be a section to input the code when placing an order.

I will only honor discounts/coupons listed directly from my platforms during the dates indicated.
