restocks, returns, pricing

A "construction period" is a period of time where individual brands sew the garments you ordered.

Some brands have shorter periods, others have longer periods. It is recommended to look at item descriptions carefully to see how long it will take to create.

Hanfu is made small-batch for quality assurance, hence construction periods.

Nüwa Hanfu specializes in finding high-quality brands making authentic traditional clothing (no fast fashion hanfu here!). Higher quality brands require time to create their garments.

Items with construction period will not be shipped until all product(s) are ready.

Items with construction period will be shipped with standard shipping methods using YunExpress and USPS, with an estimated transit time of 7-14 days.

If you need a set immediately, Nüwa Hanfu may not be the shop for you.

We appreciate your patience and understanding!

Please understand that all items on Panda Hanfu are handmade by individual and oftentimes independent brands.

Most hanfu is made small-batch and take up to 4 months to create one piece by hand.

Within the hanfu industry, some products are only on the market for a certain period of time. Ultimately, there is no guarantee that a specific set or item will be restocked.

It usually takes 4-10 weeks for a brand to fully restock, depending on the item and complexity of the garment.

Our professional advice? Buy the set you want as soon as possible! There is always a higher chance of the item being discontinued rather than restocked and it's always heartbreaking to find out your dream set has sadly been discontinued.
