Yes. We expanded from just the drip aesthetic in 2013 and in doing such have dropped the brand name Candydrip. “Candydrip” still functions to describe any items in the store, and any custom items made in that style.

Silicone is a synthetic polymer that is used in almost every modern industry from automotive to medical, and has too many uses to count.  Silicone has some awesome properties that make it so useful: low thermal conductivity, high thermal stability (can withstand very low and high temperatures), waterproof, does not support microbial growth, and resistance to ozone and UV!

Unlike latex, silicone is hypoallergenic and inert; meaning there is a very low chance of an allergic reaction.  Silicone is also BPA free!

Silicone has a high tensile strength (can be stretched without breaking) and a shape memory. Infusing fabric with the silicone creates a neoprene like material, tougher than either of them alone.

Absolutely.  Each batch of silicone is dyed custom. 

Most pieces should be stored flat, especially if the weight of the silicone will distort any exposed fabric.

Pieces with exposed fabric can be washed on gentle or hand-washed, and hung to dry.  Nylons should always be hand-washed for longevity.  Bleach should never be used.  Pieces that are primarily silicone can be wiped down with a damp cloth or 'lint rolled' with tape (recommended). 

Vulpinic has a small team, and each piece is made by hand and to order. Processing time on pieces from the shop is 4-6 weeks. Custom items might have a longer processing time based on the order. Shipping times to the US are on average 2-3 days, and there is the option for Express shipping that guarantees the item in 2 days. International orders can be shipped first class (no stated shipping time), Priority International (6-10 business days, though it can take longer due to customs and your local postal service), or Priority International Express (3-5 business days).

**If you need an order by a specific date please email BEFORE you place the order to make sure the piece will be processed and shipped to you in time**

Each piece is made custom to fit as close as possible to your true measurements.  Check out the Sizing Chart, and make sure the measurements you sent were accurate and measured from the correct locations on the body.  If there's still an error, please email us at vulpinicvestements@gmail.com with a photo of yourself in the item, a description of what is not fitting correctly, and be prepared to return the item for an alteration.

Silicone is part of the 'rubber' family and has a backbone of silicon (without an 'e') and oxygen.  It is not biodegradable, but is recyclable, though it requires a specific facility. If you ever want to get rid of one of our pieces, please email us at vulpinicvestements@gmail.com and we will pay for shipping so that the silicone can be recycled.
