ALL ABOUT OUR

SECONDS SALE

"Seconds" or Slightly Flawed or Flawed Styles are perfectly imperfect styles with barely-there flaws that don't meet our very high standards in quality. To keep beautiful garments out of the landfills, minimize waste and contribute to a more sustainable production process, we have Seconds Sales twice a year! These styles are deeply discounted at 30%-70% off in our special Seconds Sale.

Important things to know

  1. ALL SALES ARE FINAL—no returns, exchanges or price adjustments.
  2. NO DISCOUNT CODES can be applied to seconds or products which are already discounted
  3. MULTIPLE ORDERS placed close together that can be combined will be combined automatically by our team, and shipping charges will be refunded where applicable. If orders are placed too far apart or during a shipping period (9am-4pm), we cannot guarantee they will be combined.
  4. ITEMS ARE NOT HELD IN YOUR CART. Our team cannot control this. The ONLY way to guarantee a purchase is to check out!

What's the difference between 30% off, 50% off, and 70% off styles?

30% OFF fabric irregular styles have minor inconsistencies in the fabric that keep them from being perfect but are super discreet.

50% OFF slightly flawed styles have small flaws that our team has deemed as very discreet with a minimal flaw.

70% OFF FLAWED styles have more significant flaws, without impacting the integrity of the garment. 70% OFF styles may have more visible flaws that are more notable than 50% OFF styles.

Examples of 30% OFF Fabric Irregularities

Subtle fabric irregularities

Inconsistency during the milling process causes subtle lines or crease marks that cannot be steamed, ironed, or washed out.

Examples of 50% OFF Slightly Flawed styles

The 50% off slightly flawed garment you receive may have one or more of the flaws listed below. The flaws do not impact the integrity of the garment.

 

Small indented line (twisted yarn)

A small portion of yarn gets slightly twisted, creating a subtle horizontal indented line across the garment. This does not impact garment integrity.

Slub

In the spinning process, part of the yarn is slightly thicker and creates an irregular, raised horizontal line. The line is the same colour as the garment.

Different colour yarn

Occurs in the spinning or knitting process when a mill fly gets knit into the fabric, resulting in a different colour appearing on the fabric. These are small and in discreet areas.

Small spot

Very small spots or stains on the fabric in faint or unnoticeable areas of the garment. Please note, these marks will not wash out.

Fabric irregularities (creasing)

Inconsistencies during the milling process appear as thin lines or creases. These will not steam, iron, or wash out. 

Yarn nub

Similar to a slub, a mill fly is sewn into the garment, but appears more as a circular "fluff" that cannot be removed, instead of being horizontally sewn into the fabric.

Examples of 70% OFF Flawed Styles

The 70% off flawed garment you receive may have one or more of the flaws listed below. The flaws do not impact the integrity of the garment.

 

Small holes

One or several small holes. No hole is bigger than the head of a thumb tack. Due to the way our fabric is knit, holes will not increase in size from wash and wear, but you could sew them up for aesthetic purposes.

Visible fabric irregularities

Inconsistency during the milling process causes thin lines or creases that cannot be steamed, ironed, or washed out.

Notable fabric stains

One or multiple small stains, at times in more visible places on the garment. These marks will not wash out.

Notable twisted yarn (indented lines)

A small portion of yarn gets slightly twisted, causing a horizontal line across the garment. 70% off styles with this flaw have either larger lines or lines in a more noticeable place on the garment.

Notable knit defect

Small marks on the fabric that appear as vertical and/or horizontal lines throughout. 70% off styles in this category have a knit defect in a more noticeable place on the garment.

Miscellaneous or multiple flaws

Flaws in this category either have more than one of the flaws above, or another miscellaneous flaw, such as puckering due to a sewing error, as in the image, or another mark.

FAQs About Seconds

Why am I seeing a 404 error page?

If you are seeing a 404 error page or other error while trying to shop the Seconds Sale, this is because the item you are trying to view or purchase has sold out. Items sell out very quickly during the sale, so sometimes the item still allows you to click it before it can be hidden by the system once sold out.

Is what's in my cart reserved for me?

Unfortunately, this is not something we're able to do, technology-wise. This means that something you have in your cart could potentially sell out before you can check out, since the inventory of the seconds is so limited. We recommend shopping as soon as the styles drop to ensure you can get your faves.

If I place multiple orders, will they be combined? Will shipping be refunded?

Orders placed by the same customer within 12 hours of their first purchase will be combined automatically by our team, and any extra shipping charges will be refunded to you. If those orders combined make you eligible for free shipping, all shipping charges will be refunded to you.

Orders placed throughout the sale may not be combined if placed too far apart. Our small-but-mighty team automatically combines orders when possible.

Is everything Final Sale?

Yes, everything in the Seconds Sale is FINAL SALE. Purchases cannot be exchanged or returned. However, we’ll host a bi-annual buy, sell, trade event in our private Facebook community group where customers choose to sell the items they purchased in the seconds sale that they changed their mind about. Join our Miik Members Facebook group here.

Will you have images of all the flaws?

We'll include images of what the different flaws look like, however because of the volume of seconds and variety of flaws, we don't include an image of each individual style. The second(s) you purchase have been determined by our team to have minimal flaws that make them wearable. Minimal flaws include slub yarn, twisted yarn, small spots or stains, different coloured yarn, fabric irregularities that won't wash out, and knit defects. The second(s) you purchase will have one or more of these small flaws. 70% OFF styles have more notable flaws.

You can find examples of flaws above.

I can't find any seconds in the style/size I want. Why aren't more sizes and styles available?

We aren't able to pick and choose which styles and sizes are seconds, it's always a mixed bag with extremely limited inventory. We apologize if you're not able to find the style you're looking for.
