Questions
we get a lot.
Everything you wanted to know about our fabric, fits, drops, shipping and the way we do things — answered straight, no fluff. If something's missing, ping us. We answer fast.
The Cirqle story
What is Cirqle?
Cirqle is a premium streetwear label out of Mumbai, built for people who treat what they wear as an extension of who they are. We make elevated everyday tees in premium fabrics — Supima cotton, high GSM, prints engineered to last drop after drop, wash after wash.
We're not a fast-fashion brand. We're not a "luxury" brand pretending to be relatable either. We sit in the middle: premium you can actually feel, priced to actually wear.
What does "Built to Stand Out" mean?
It's our north star. Every piece we drop has to earn its place — through fabric, fit, graphic, or detail. We'd rather release 12 pieces you'll wear into the ground than 120 you'll forget about by next month.
It also means we design for the person who doesn't want to blend in. Our wearer doesn't dress to be seen — they dress to be remembered.
Where are you based?
We're headquartered in Mumbai, India. Our pieces are designed in-house and produced with carefully vetted manufacturing partners across India — the same factories trusted by global premium labels.
Fabric & quality
What is Supima cotton, and why should I care?
Supima is the top 1% of cotton grown in the world. Its fibres are nearly twice as long as regular cotton, which means:
- Softer — feels closer to silk than to a regular tee
- Stronger — up to 45% more durable than standard cotton
- Holds colour better — your blacks stay black, your prints stay sharp
- Doesn't pill — even after dozens of washes
That ₹500 tee you've worn three times and thrown out? That's regular cotton hitting the end of its life. Supima is built differently.
What's the GSM of your tees?
Most of our tees sit at 220–240 GSM — heavyweight, structured, with the kind of drape you usually only get from imported labels. You'll feel the difference the moment you pick one up.
Specific GSM is listed on every product page under "Fabric & Fit."
Will the prints fade or crack after a few washes?
Short answer: no, not if you wash them right. We use high-density screen prints and DTG techniques that cure into the fabric — not the cheap plastisol layer that peels off in 5 washes.
Follow our care guide and your graphics will look the same on wash 50 as they did on day one.
How is Cirqle different from other Indian streetwear brands?
Three things, mostly:
- Fabric grade — we don't compromise. Supima, high GSM, no exceptions.
- Tight edits — we drop 12–18 SKUs at a time, not 200. Every piece is intentional.
- Design discipline — we'd rather not release a tee than release a generic one.
Are your pieces ethically made?
Yes. We work with audited manufacturing partners in India who pay fair wages and follow safe working conditions. We're a young brand and we're building our sustainability roadmap publicly — expect more transparency on this in the months ahead.
Sizing & fit
How do I find my size?
Every product page has a detailed size guide with chest, length, and shoulder measurements in cm. We also list the height + size of the model in every shoot, so you can match against your own frame.
Tip: lay a tee you already own and love flat, measure it, then match. It's the fastest way to land your perfect fit.
Are your tees oversized or regular fit?
It depends on the silhouette — and we tell you upfront on each product page. Our drops include:
- Oversized — drop shoulders, boxy cut, longer body. Wear true to size.
- Relaxed — roomy but not slouchy. Wear true to size.
- Regular — classic, structured. Size up if you prefer a looser look.
I'm between two sizes. What should I do?
For oversized and relaxed fits — go with your usual size. For regular fits — size up if you want extra room, stay true if you want it fitted. Still unsure? DM us on Instagram with your measurements and we'll help you nail it.
What if my size is sold out?
Hit "Notify Me" on the product page. Most of our drops are limited and don't restock — but when they do, you'll be the first to know.
For high-demand pieces, we sometimes do a single restock 4–6 weeks after the original drop. Cirqle Community members get 24-hour early access.
Drops & restocks
What's a Cirqle drop?
A drop is a small, themed collection of 8–18 pieces released together — and only available while stocks last. Every drop has its own concept: a colour story, a graphic universe, sometimes a collab.
Think of it like a music EP. Once it's out, it's out. We don't reprint.
How often do you drop new pieces?
Every 4–6 weeks. We're a drop-led brand, not a continuous-catalogue brand. We'd rather release fewer, sharper pieces than flood the site with SKUs nobody asked for.
Will sold-out pieces be restocked?
Most won't. That's part of the deal — Cirqle is built around scarcity, and what makes a piece special is that not everyone gets to own it.
A handful of "core" pieces (think: signature minimal tees, hero graphics) do come back. Watch your inbox or DMs.
How do I get early access to drops?

Garment care
How should I wash my Cirqle tee?
- Turn inside out before washing
- Machine wash cold (max 30°C) on a gentle cycle
- Use a mild detergent — skip the bleach
- Wash with similar colours
- Line dry in shade — direct sunlight fades premium dyes faster
- Iron inside out on low heat. Never iron directly on prints.
Will my tee shrink?
All our fabrics are pre-shrunk before stitching, so you can expect minimal shrinkage (under 3%). Following the wash care above will keep your tee in its original shape and size.
How do I make the print last longer?
Three rules:
- Always wash inside out
- Never iron directly on the print
- Skip the dryer — line dry in shade
Do this and your prints will look fresh for years, not months.

How do I join the Cirqle Community?
