What

For Blue Alvarez I design primarily knitwear and knit accessories for men and women.

Where

Blue Alvarez is located in Boston, MA. The best way to contact me is via email. My knit clothing is currently available by custom order only. Please contact me at bluealvarez@bluealvarez.com with your requests.

Knitting patterns are available in my shop.

When

Blue Alvarez knitting designs have been online since September 2004. I registered my business as a DBA with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on 5/8/06, and more recently with the city of Boston on 6/6/2011.

Why

I love to knit, and I love to wear knits. It's hard to beat a soft, stretchable fabric for contouring the human body. I also believe in both beauty and utility in my clothing. So I strive to create designs, especially when designing for hand knitters, that has a touch of something special and hand made while still looking and feeling at home in a contemporary closet.

How

Materials and Construction:
Currently all my pieces are handmade in my studio in Boston, and all orders are custom orders, designed to your measurements. If you see a piece you adore and would like one made for your specific measurements, please contact me and I will quote you a price on making any piece custom to your order.

I also offer knitting patterns, so that you can make many of the designs to fit you perfectly.

Ordering and Payment:

Currently I sell locally in Boston and online via Ravelry. If you choose to place a custom order from an area outside of Boston, you may contact me directly via email at bluealvarez@bluealvarez.com. I accept credit cards for custom orders via Paypal and the Square Up application.

Shipping:

Shipping via USPS priority mail is free to anywhere in the United States. Expedited shipping and international shipping are extra and will be calculated based on your location. Please note the speed at which you need delivery when contacting me for a custom order.

Return Policy:

Custom orders are only returnable within 15 days of receipt, and there is a 30% restocking fee. If you receive a custom order and are dissatisfied with any aspect of the final fit or quality, please contact me immediately upon receipt at bluealvarez@bluealvarez.com so that we may rectify the problem for you.
