Description
Design
Our 3D-style face covering was born after making numerous masks for my family.
The shape of this 3D Cotton Face Covering sits away from your mouth and nose, so you are able to talk, laugh and yawn without it sliding off. Because some of us have sensory issues, designing for comfort and wearability was paramount. The resulting design is comfortable, breathable, adjustable and fits super well on a variety of shapes and sizes.
Creation
Your face covering will be created to your specifications, and all work is mindfully completed in our own studio. Because our products are made to order, construction will take from one to two weeks. We promise it will be worth the wait. Thanks for your understanding.
Shipping
Shipping is through Canada Post. You may also safe pick up at our studio location, or have your order delivered to select locations in Simcoe County. For delivery catchment area, see this link. If you wish to order one or two sample face coverings shipped via Canada Post Lettermail™ without tracking, we have included the option to do so. See our Sample 3D Cotton Face Covering product page. If Canada Post is experiencing delays, they will update their website here.
Please Note
Please also note that we understand it is not always possible to wear a reusable face covering, and there are many instances where an N95 or KN95 is required. Whatever face covering you wear needs to fit well, or it will not be effective.
Construction & Options
Our standard 100% 3D Cotton Face Coverings are made from two layers of pre-washed premium cotton, with a casing to allow you to both adjust, and change out the tie. You may order your masks with or without nose wires, although nose wires are recommended if you wear glasses. See more on eyeglasses and face coverings here.

Why Cotton?
Our Sizing
We have five size options available:
- Child
- Adult small
- Adult medium
- Adult large
- Extra large
Mask Fit
This style only covers where it needs to (not ear to ear). Because of the extra space around your mouth and nose, our sizing is generous. The various ties we offer allow you even more flexibility in fit.
Other Options
You may choose your 3D cotton face covering either with or without a nose wire. If you chose a mask without a nose wire, you may order it either with or without scoops. Essentially scoops are small cut-outs at the top edge of the face coverings that allow a better fit around your eyes. See the images in the Finding Your Size link below.
3D Cotton Face Covering Ties
For further customization, we have three tie options to choose from: Bungee-style Elastic (think pony tail elastic), Nylon Paracord (non-stretchy soft nylon cord like a hoodie drawstring) or soft and stretchy, 3-ply Ear Loops. Keep in mind that if you have ordered a tie option that doesn’t work for you, we have ties available to purchase individually here.
Children’s Ties
Children’s face coverings with around the head Bungee-elastic come with safety release toggles. You may prefer to order child sizes with either ear loops or nylon cord. Many children find the elastic ties or nylon cord around the head more comfortable than ear loops for long periods of time.
For a bit more on fit, scoops and ties, see our page on finding your size.
Find Your Size3-Layer Cotton & Silk Option
Please note that we have moved our three layer silk face coverings here. Silk has electrostatic properties, is naturally water repellent, and may be antimicrobial and antiviral as well. To increase the efficiency of our face coverings, we have introduced a three layer mask with an inner silk filter layer.
See more about the properties of silk here:
Properties of SilkFabric Choices
Please do ask if you have previously ordered a fabric you don’t see in our gallery. We would be happy to check our stock for you. Because our fabric collection is extensive, fabrics are broken into two galleries: kid’s only fabrics (including a limited number of small), as well as all other sizes (including kids). To see this large grouping of fabric further broken down, go to our fabric gallery page.
Choose your fabric in Drop-down Options
Because we have been experiencing a high turnover of fabrics, we are now asking if you would please pick an alternate fabric when you order your face coverings. When choosing your fabric options select your first and second choice fabric for each face covering in your order. This way, you will get the fabric you choose.

Use & Care
We recommend washing your 3D Cotton Face Covering by hand, since this will extend the life of your mask and ensure that it will always be ready to wear the next day. Wash at least once before you trim your elastic bungee cord, as the elastic may shrink slightly. We have recently discovered a salad spinner hack which is super convenient for hand washing face masks.
There are further instructions, as well as video link to salad spinner hack here.
Use & CareOur Promise to You
We strive to operate an ethical business.
Because it matters to us, this design allows us to create with extremely little fabric waste. Secondly, we use as many natural and recyclable materials as possible, including our packaging. Even by wearing reusable masks, you are helping the environment immensely.
Thirdly, Verity Blue Studio supports local small business. We strive to purchase our fabrics and materials, including notions and packaging through local businesses and using Canadian manufacturers. See a list of our suppliers here.

My kids find these masks comfortable to wear.
Corrine (verified owner) –
These are ABSOLUTELY the most comfortable and best mask I have worn since the beginning of this nightmare and I have tried many.
Kathy (verified owner) –
The masks came quickly and are very comfortable to wear. The nose wire gives a snug fit. They wash and dry beautifully. This is my favourite design of mask to wear. I will be ordering more.
Sandra Clark (verified owner) –
Comfortable, breathable, but most important – we feel safe wearing your masks and do!
Lilia Martinez (verified owner) –
We totally loved our masks. My 8YO was struggling with fogging glasses at school, and your masks worked fantastically! He said yours are the best masks he ever had! Thanks. They are amazing!
Ashley C. (verified owner) –
I would highly recommend getting these masks for the kids for school, doesn’t hurt their ears and wash great!
neilpk70 . (verified owner) –
Excellent masks! Comfortable and beautiful.
Lou-Lou (verified owner) –
Beautiful quality. I wear glasses & work at a physically active job & these masks are the most comfortable of the many kinds I’ve tried. I’m 5’3” & the size medium, (with nose wire & bungee elastic tie) fits snugly without smothering or sliding up into my eyes. I’m very happy to be buying from a local artist, & will be buying more. 100% would recommend!
Diane (verified owner) –
Received in a timely manner. Beautifully made. Extremely comfortable. I wear a mask all day at work and these are stylish, comfortable and do not rest on your nose and mouth something that bothered me with other masks.
Thank you so much.
Linda Terava (verified owner) –
Not only are these masks beautiful, they are the most comfortable masks we’ve worn. No more glasses fogging up and the fit is perfect. We will definitely be ordering more for ourselves and other family members.
Wendy Fawcett (verified owner) –
The face masks are very nice. I do wish I was able to add a filter into the mask although I can see that the fabric is of great quality and will likely protect me just as well!
Robert M. (verified owner) –
Great face masks. I have tried several different types and these provide the best fit. The availability of different sizes, fabrics and ties make these masks the most flexible available. Highly recommended!
Sandra C (verified owner) –
My adult daughter commented just the other day she feels safer wearing your masks than the medical mask given her at the medical office. And the NP working that shift specifically asked for your contact information as she was so impressed with the mask.
Brian (verified owner) –
Good design and well constructed. If you follow their sizing instructions carefully you should get a good fit. Attractive too.
Joanne (verified owner) –
Masks are very well made, good quality, and comfortable. Excellent service, replied quickly to question sent by email.
Mary T. (verified owner) –
Hubby likes mask for same reasons I like mine: comfortable, doesn’t cling to face when you talk or breathe in like some do. Have yet to try it for any extended period of time but for our short jaunts into stores, it’s great!
Anonymous (verified owner) –
Very nice mask, good quality, fits well!
Michael (verified owner) –
Well made and fits well!
Georgia (verified owner) –
These are my favourite face masks. They are comfortable and fit really well, and are easy to wash. Communication was great.
Sandra C. (verified owner) –
The masks are awesome – attention was paid to construction quite obviously. The fit is wonderful. Should have opted for loops behind my head as I have longish hair and knotting anything behind my face doesn’t work well, and it’s not very convenient. I’ll keep that in mind for my next order!
Devon (verified owner) –
My masks were gorgeous, and everything I hoped they would be! They were made so well, and were made of great, quality material. I have customers at work commenting on them all the time. I would definitely order from them again!
Eleni (verified owner) –
Masks are very well made! It is great to have the option of nose wire (we all wear glasses) and the extra security of the silk filter. It is also good they come in different sizes. I followed the measurement guidelines and they fit perfectly. The bungee cords are great for school since they make the masks comfortable when wearing them all day; my 11 year old son loves them. And the fabric options are fun!
Alexander S. (verified owner) –
I have an abnormally large melon and the XL size actually FITS my ridiculous face. The full head elastics (instead of the ear loops) make for a very comfortable fit with a tighter seal than I can get off ear-loop masks.
Also they’re very pretty. I got the prancing unicorn mask because I’m an adult and I can wear what I want dangit. 🙂
Diane (verified owner) –
These are the best masks ever! This is my second order and love the fact they are 100% cotton which are difficult to find. Synthetics irritate my skin. Also gorgeous patterns and beautifully made. Thanks for making mask wearing much more manageable.
Nishaat Hassan (verified owner) –
Kathryn makes excellent masks! They helped me greatly during my 10 hour shifts working at one of Amazon’s warehouses, and are very breathable as well. Very well made and the care put into creating them showed through, will purchase again!
Julia (verified owner) –
Purchased 3 masks for the family – child, medium, and large. The masks themselves are beautifully made and the fabrics are gorgeous. As an added touch, the masks arrived nicely packaged with a well-organized leaflet detailing the package contents and how to care for the masks (personally, I have a high appreciation for such attention to detail). I am particularly pleased with the children’s mask as it fits my 3-year-old daughter very well and does not easily slide off her nose like most other masks. What’s more, she loves the design and is happy to wear it. The large mask also fits my husband well. However, I did not notice a significant difference in the medium vs. large mask in terms of sizing and, unfortunately, the medium is a bit too big for me; as it turns out, I should have ordered a small for myself. With respect to ties, I ordered a combination of bungee and nylon ties in hopes that they would be more comfortable than ear loops. However, we found that the bungee/nylon ties failed to stay in place. As a result, I converted the masks to ear loops and this has rectified the issue. My only other comment is that it took about 3.5 weeks for the masks to arrive, which is a considerable length of time, but I feel it was worth the wait. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and will be reordering another set of masks giving more consideration the choice of size and ties.
Verity Blue Studio (store manager) –
I am pleased that you love your masks, and totally understand re the shipping. I am in contact with Canada Post on a regular basis to rectify the exorbitant shipping fees I pay. Unfortunately it’s a typical struggle with a typical monopoly. I will hopefully be able to resolve this soon. Currently we do offer free shipping in Canada only, for orders over $200.
Anonymous (verified owner) –
I love my masks, thank you!! I only wish that shipping was cheaper, or free with a certain amount purchased.
Kristina (verified owner) –
Such a great design and quality!
Katrina (verified owner) –
These are by far the best masks I have found. They fit comfortably and snugly, including for my partner, who has a larger nose that makes finding a good fit difficult. The three layers are dense enough to seem very effective, and yet it is still easy to breathe through them thanks to the mask’s shape. I will definitely be buying more and recommending these to family and friends!
Mandi (verified owner) –
Second round of purchases. This time xl and more child size. These masks really are the most comfortable to talk in, laugh in, and breathe in. My husband, mother, grandmother, son and friends whole-heartedly agree! The range of sizes and attachment options really allows for true customization! Very highly recommended.
Elizabeth B. (verified owner) –
The mask passes the candle test, rests comfortably on my face, stays fixed on my nose and looks cute!
Anonymous (verified owner) –
Small size fits well. Beautifully sewn & good quality fabric. Tailored over nose & under chin. I will be ordering more & experimenting with the tie options.
Isabelle Costanzo (verified owner) –
Beautifully crafted ! Will purchase again and recommend to my friends .
paul gallagher (verified owner) –
The quality and design is outstanding! Lots of fun fabric choices and good attachment choices. The whole enterprise is well thought out and delivers satisfaction.
Lynne (verified owner) –
Gorgeous, stylish and effective!
Laura W. (verified owner) –
Good quality and workmanship. The masks fit great. Not a fan of the bungee cord but like the ear loops.
Christine M. (verified owner) –
Lots of options to personalize the masks for best fit. Most comfortable masks we have tried!
Diane S. (verified owner) –
Yay! Finally a mask that fits, is well made, comfortable, looks pretty and can be worn all day! Thanks so much.
Jennifer (verified owner) –
Excellent quality and fine craftsmanship! I would highly recommend. Comfortable and easy to breathe in if being worn for longer periods of time.
Catherine Webb (verified owner) –
Beautifully made, great fabric choices and as comfy as ever. I love these masks and have 4 wardrobe choices now 😊.
Barb Y. (verified owner) –
Just received my 2 masks and am in awe as to how well made these masks are. The 3D design is comfortable, cool and does not cause my glasses to fog up! Being able to customize the mask from fabric to cord style, to nose wire to filter, makes these masks easy to wear and the best I’ve found so far. Will be recommending these to everyone who asks.
Joanna K (verified owner) –
My husband ordered the 3D masks for me in the size small. These are by far the most comfortable masks that I have worn since the start of Covid. I wear a mask at work for roughly 9 hours a day. I also work in supply chain so I am constantly moving around. I no longer get headaches from the ear loops (my masks have the cord), I can also breathe. There are times when my job gets extremely physical and sucking in my mask through my nose is unpleasant. The rigid design is wonderful. I’ve just ordered 3 more masks. They all have the additional nose wire and silk lining. I’ve recommended these to everyone who has asked about them.

Great masks. Comfortable. Two Layers. Space for additional filters to be inserted. Close fitting for safety. And comfortable around the ears. Definitely recommended.
Verity Blue Studio (store manager) –
Oh Sarah, I am sorry to hear this. We are putting a larger cord in the mail today. Thanks for letting us know.
Eleni (verified owner) –
I got this mask for my husband. Other masks we got were too small. This fits great. It is well made.
Sarah F. (verified owner) –
I ordered 5 masks recently (3 children’s size and 2 adults). Our boys were happy with the patterns they chose, and I’ve been relieved to see how happy they’ve been to wear them (for short periods of time – just getting them used to wearing them). The cut of the masks is great. My mask tie is a bit short and therefore tight, so I plan to replace it (some day!). Overall we are very pleased with these masks.
Matthew L. (verified owner) –
So far these are the best fitted face masks for my kids. I purchased 2 with bungee elastic cords and 2 with nylon cords. I find that bungee elastic cords are easier to put on. Fabulous quality!
Ruth (verified owner) –
Very pleased with my masks. I will be ordering more very soon!
Vanessa K. (verified owner) –
We love these masks! I really appreciated being able to customize all the features, from the size to the ties to the nose wire, as I was able to get everything that both my partner (lab worker) and I needed out of our masks. The prints are awesome, and the masks are also really well constructed – they have a good seal, but they don’t cling to your mouth/nostrils, which is way more comfortable for the summer. I’ve been recommending this shop to all my friends, and will be back for more!
Kirstin (verified owner) –
These masks are great. The 3D shape is nice so the mask isn’t plastered to your face. Very comfortable to wear. Masks were ready in a week and arrived nicely packaged a few days later. Will be ordering again.
Anonymous (verified owner) –
Fabric is beautiful and custom options are practical. I’m really glad to have found a mask option that does not cause my glasses to fog.
Helpful, easy to navigate website. My masks were delivered within 10 days of placing my order.
Chris (verified owner) –
The nose clip really helps to get a snug fit. Got them with the ear loop which is comfortable but wish the ear loops had sliders to make them easier to adjust.
Very quick and courteous service. Masks were delivered very quickly too.
Stephanie K (verified owner) –
I am so impressed with the whole process and experience that I found with Verity Blue. The site is so easy to navigate, informative and helpful! I love how many options there are to customize your perfect match; The patterns are insanely beautiful (I had such a hard time not adding every single one to my cart!), the option of ear loops/wraparound elastics/paracord is so accessible for a variety of purposes like long term vs short term wear, and the sizing chart is simple to follow and helpful to choose! I had no concerns that my masks would fit and when they arrived (in under two weeks to boot) I was so impressed by the quality of the build. The panel style of crafting makes so that the bottom doesn’t dig into the soft skin of my throat like other masks I’ve used, the main panel is structured and creates a small gap between your mouth and the fabric for comfortable and easy talking, laughing, yawning and more, and the nose panel with wiring ensures it doesn’t ride up to your eyeballs and stays in place! Ideal for glasses wearers as it eliminates the dreaded ‘breath fog’. The masks themselves are individually packaged, which I appreciated because I hate stuffing my mask in my pocket or bag with no protection so having a bag for each one is extremely helpful to me. The paracord I ordered is vibrant and fun and matches the masks beautifully! So sturdy and extremely comfortable for long term wear as well. There are care instructions included, as well as a beautiful letter detailing the safety precautions the artists are taking while making the masks which I know can be extremely comforting for people ordering online. Overall in love with my masks and pleasantly surprised by my experience ordering here! Will definitely be taking a road trip to visit the gallery during my vacation to say a personal thank you!
Mandi (verified owner) –
Love, love, love these! Finally found a style that works really well for me that is comfortable. I can breathe, laugh and talk in these without the mask sliding down my nose or up into my eyes. I love that they come in multiple sizes– the child size fits my 4 year old perfectly, small is good for me, and medium for my mother. The nose piece helps the mask sit where it needs to (didn’t order any without) and the multiple options for how you wear it (ear loops, bungee etc.) are fantastic! Also LOVE the choices of prints! Easy to hand wash and dry over night. I get a lot of compliments on these and now exclusively wear them. I very highly recommend. Well worth the price. 😀
I had a question about sizing which was answered very quickly and sizing was then added to the website! Loved how user friendly the website was.
Lori Wilson (verified owner) –
The fabric is lovely and comfortable. Compared with other masks these are the easiest to breathe with and the most comfortable. I gifted out some of these masks and each person has said it is their favourite. The cotton only masks were great to breathe through, but my one mask with silk is even better to breathe with – I’ll wear that one for longer stretches. Excellent and considerate service. Packaged well.
Janis C. (verified owner) –
These masks are a really nice cut. They fit comfortably and the craftsmanship is high quality! We all love them!

Christine H (verified owner) –
I purchased two COVID-19 masks from Verity Blue Studio and am exceptionally pleased with the quality and design. There is a huge selection of fabric colours and patterns to suit any taste. The masks are comfortable, lined, with a fitted nose, and no pressure ear loops. I wear glasses so fogging and condensation have always been an issue, until now. It is also easy to wash. I highly recommend this quality mask and have received many compliments.
