1. Where did the name True Blue come from?
True Blue, was inspired by Ella's Grandad, A strong figure in her life. After he passed away his nickname for Ella, 'True Blue', always stayed with her and when thinking of a brand name she couldn't help but come back to True Blue.
The meaning "Loyal, faithful and dependable".
 
3. How long will my order take?
 
Due to being a small, independent clothing brand your orders may take longer than you're familiar with. Most of our items are made to order so this means we need to allow for production time once your order has been placed. Our current estimated production time is stated in our website header above. Please take this into consideration when choosing what postage service you would like to use and if you require the item for a certain date.
If you have an questions, for example, you wanted to order an item for your friends birthday but you're not sure it will get to you on time, then please contact us via email or on our social media and we will do our best to advise or help you.
