FAQ

What is your return policy?

We offer a 14-day return window. This means the return must be collected within 14 days of the delivery date. Your purchase(s) must be returned in the original packaging, in a saleable condition, with all labels and tags attached. Upon return, all items are inspected by our customer services team before your refund is processed. We do not offer exchanges on our products. Please try items on with care. If you decide to return something, please ensure it is in perfect condition. This means that it must be clean (no deodorant, perfume or make-up stains), unworn and unwashed. Items returned to us in a non-sellable condition will not be refunded and will be sent back to you.

Where is my refund?

Please note we do not currently provide any acknowledgement when we receive your return. Instead, we advise our customers to check the return tracking for their orders. Once this has been received, a refund will be issued within 10 business days. Please note it can take another 3-10 business days for the funds to show in your account, depending on your bank.
