All exchanges are subject to stock availability. If an item is out of stock at the time of the exchange being processed, a full refund will be issued.
All items returned must have their original tags attached, be unworn, unwashed, undamaged, (uneverything!) and in their original packaging. To process your return, please complete the Delivery/Return Note included in your package. Please refer to our Returns & Exchanges Policy for more information.
15) Why have you implemented a charge for returns?
Since our beginning in 2017, we have always wanted to make shopping on our website as easy as possible and have taken on the cost of processing returns, making it free of charge for all UK customers.
As an independent brand, we are tackling rising costs of goods and services in many areas of our small business. Unfortunately, this means we have made a decision to apply a £3 charge for each parcel being returned to us for a refund.
16) When will you start applying a charge for returns?
We have applied a £3 returns charge to all UK orders made on or after Tuesday 12th September.
If you placed an order before Tuesday 12th September, a returns charge will not be applied.
17) If I order multiple items and choose to return them in two separate parcels, will a returns charge be applied to both parcels?
A £3 returns charge will be applied to each parcel returned to us. If multiple returns are made from the same order, the charge will apply per parcel, not per order.
18) I made an order before Tuesday 12th September which was returned for a refund. I had not received the refund prior to the returns policy change. Will a charge be applied?
Please rest assured that for any orders made before Tuesday 12th September, we will not apply a returns charge at any time.
19) I made an international order, outside mainland UK. How does this change affect me?
International returns have not been affected. We offer subsidised, pre-paid returns for customers in the USA, Europe and Australia. If choosing this option, the following shipping costs with be deducted from your refund:
EU Returns UPS transit time 3 days: £10.00
USA Returns DHL transit time 3 days: £20.00
Australia DHL transit time 5 days: £29.00
ROW: prices will vary depending on location.
20) I paid with a gift card, how will my returns charge be taken?
The returns charge will be deducted from the amount refunded to you. You will be refunded via the same gift card minus the cost of the return.
21) I paid with Klarna, how will my returns charge be taken?
The returns charge will be deducted from the amount refunded to you. You will be refunded via your original payment method minus the cost of the return.
22) What steps have you taken to help me select the right size the first time?
To help you find the right size and fit the first time, we have published a new ‘how to measure’ guide, improved size guides on each product page and will continue to monitor all feedback and reviews to improve fit.
23) If I request an exchange instead of a refund, do I still have to pay the returns fee?
Exchanges will remain free of charge for UK customers.
24) My item arrived faulty, will a returns fee be charged?
We're so sorry to hear that your order did not live up to your (and our) high standards. A returns fee will not be applied to items proved to be faulty.
