After testing negative for the last {and every prior} go round, COVID has hit our household. This means, AD will not be open for nearly another 1.5-2 weeks, to be absolutely certain no contagions are passed on, and to allow adequate time to re-disinfect the shop. Thank you for your continued support through these trying times.
December 18, 2021
Due to COVID tracings related to a positive testing person at my littles’ school, AD will not be participating in the Pressbay Solstice Market.
…this also means , we {AD} have…sadly... concluded our Holiday season, as I learned this morning , my little one, and of course by proxy, my other minion and I, will be on quarantine till the end of next week.
When we do emerge from quarantine and catch up, remaining Eartha items will be uploaded/shipped.
For now, please grab your faves from our stockists that carry Eartha in New Paltz NY, MO, MI/CA.! Salix○Birdies○Supernatural
We at AD thank you all for the immense amount of love, trust, and support you have given this crazy year! We literally could not have made it this far without you all! Looking forward to what 2022 may hold!

March 6, 2021 Update:
I received a{nother} NY State COVID Contact tracing call in regards to my little one being in contact with a fellow student, that later tested positive for COVID-19. We will be in quarantine until March 12th, providing we do not exhibit symptoms. Any orders placed during this time, will be fulfilled upon my return, March 16th. Thank you for your tremendous patience.
January 23, 2021 2nd Update:
Shortly after the last update, I received a NY State COVID Contact tracing call in regards to my little one being in contact with a school faculty member that later tested positive for COVID-19. We will be in quarantine until January 30th, providing we do not exhibit symptoms. As a precaution, though not required at the level of contact, we will also test for the virus.
I’m very passionate about continuing to do my part in keeping numbers down, and thank you for your patience through the many turns of the pandemic.
Orders made during this week for ready to ship items, will be fulfilled and shipped or set aside for Pressbay Pick Up starting next week.
January 23, 2021 Update:
In the interest of the health of our clients and employees, Adrina Dietra will be completely by-appointment from 11am - 4pm, Tuesday - Friday. This will help allow for a very contained environment with an ease to trace contacts if ever necessary. We’ve come to this decision based upon the numbers still rising and flocculating, new strains coming to light, and the continued uncertainty of the times. We are still able to help by answering any and all fit questions via our contact form and phone. Be safe. Be well.

January 9, 2021 Update:
Adrina Dietra will be closed until January 19, 2021 for inventory/stock.
What’s coming: We will be shifting focus towards shop stock to ensure longevity of the brand during this time. This is currently the best way to keep things accessible to more individuals at once, and in a more timely manner {with how uncertain the availability is/will be as things still/can fluctuate drastically with COVID} during the current climate.
AD is ever-grateful to the many that have requested custom garments as of late, and anyone that has one in progress, an appointment, or requested postponement for when it is safer to drop by—we will still see your order till the end!
There will be no new consultations available until we get the ball back rolling with in-shop stock. We have a few things in the works to expedite this process while still providing the quality and attention to detail that you all have grown to love—we’ll share those deets soon.
As always, thank you so much for your tremendous support! And thanks, in advance, for your support of this needed shift.

May 19th Update:
After taking quite an impromptu, yet SERIOUSLY needed pause, AD is finally gearing up for some reopening surprises. The new shop is nearly complete enough to begin the huge stocking process!! Any garment type requests? We plan for everything from lounge basics, to insanely flirty 🖤 The purchase selection online has been limited to make it a bit more streamlined while we prepare and dive deep into garment production. For this, currently, AD will not take any new custom purchases.
In the meantime, you are more than welcome to grab some self-care goodies from the apothecary of handcrafted bodily care goods on our site. Cloth masks completely sold out/were donated to capacity before we actually had the chance to load them to the site{THANK YOU!}. When the next round of supplies come in, they will be posted for online purchase, in case anyone out there still needs 🖤
Local dropoffs are limited to once a week on Thursdays. Orders for pickup at the Pressbay Transfer Hub must be placed by 3pm the Wednesday before pickup.
As always, thank you for the immense amount of support you've all shown via purchases, mentions, kind words, shares, suggestions to your peers, and {for the IRL lovelies} all your domestic help 🙏🏾🖤 #ItTakesAVillage
Very Respectfully,
Team A.
Original Update:
Dear AD community, near and far.
We thank you for your support leading up to such a trying time.
We have, however, decided it is best, with the safety of the community in mind, to close our brick and mortar doors until at least April 15th.
Understanding the need for social distancing, to do our part in aiding to slow the spread, and with AD being a very physical and tactile shop, we feel we would better serve our clients by pressing forward with ramping up our online presence, and pushing the move into the new shop.
All scheduled appointments will be pushed forward. All pickups will be rescheduled. Our web cart will remain open.
We at AD are also overwhelmed with sorrow, for those that are hit hardest in their pockets, with lowered hours or by being let go completely. For this, partial proceeds from purchases during this time, will be donated to the @tompkinsworkerscenter, for their ability to help those in need of revenue during and in the aftermath of the #Covid pandemic.
New and more products will be completed and added between this and next week, and then on a rolling basis, just like the physical shop. Between the dates of April 3-5, AD will be participating in the #virtualdodfest, in lieu to the need for cancelation of the @salemdaughtersofdarkness . A portion of all proceeds from these three days, will benefit @hawcnorthshore, as it would have during the festival! In this time, AD will offer free basic domestic ground shipping with the #ShipMe code at checkout.
Thank you, and be well 🖤 Love and light to you all 💫
