FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chokolat Girl is a company dedicated to perpetuating self-confidence in black women and girls through positive messaging and education. We call it an affirmative imaging™ movement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is Chokolat spelled funny?
While the company is based in America, Chokolat Girl’s phonetic adaptation of chocolate aims for international appeal. Besides, our spelling is rhythmic and more aesthetically pleasing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where are Chokolat Girl® shirts manufactured?
Chokolat Girl® shirts are made in America.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are Chokolat Girl® shirts made of?
Chokolat Girl® shirts are 100% cotton.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What makes Chokolat Girl® shirts valuable?
Aside from using soft cotton and positive messaging... Chokolat Girl carefully selects vivid colors that make you look and feel good. Each shirt is an original, collectible work of art. Every line and letter is drawn BY HAND. The ink is mixed BY HAND. And the image is printed BY HAND. No two shirts are identical. It is more than a t-shirt. Wearing Chokolat Girl advocates and perpetuates positive messages about black women and girls. The value of a Chokolat Girl® shirt far exceeds your investment. See how we make them here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does Chokolat Girl make plus size shirts?
Currently our largest size is 2XL, which is snug on a 46" bust. We are working on offering the same quality and price in larger sizes, because Chokolat Girl does not believe larger ladies should have to pay more for the same shirt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I get that design on a different color shirt?
Not yet. Chokolat Girl coordinates the color and message for each design. We will eventually offer exclusive designs for an additional fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How does Chokolat Girl select words for each design?
The words are affirmations, cleverly disguised as descriptors for chocolate. February shirts feature subtle words like natural and sweet. August shirts have attitude. Chokolat Girl has chosen affirmations through 2012. If you would like to suggest words for future shirts, feel free to make submissions through the Contact page of this website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How are Chokolat Girl® shirts packaged?
Chokolat Girl® shirts are packaged in 16oz. glass jars with gold lids. Each comes with a postcard featuring information about an historic black woman.
Exception: The hot shirts (CGFA08 & CGFA08.1) are paired with a matching mug… no postcard.
