RETURNS FAQS

RETURN INFO

Return Policy

What is your return policy?

If you are not satisfied or have simply changed your mind about the product(s), we will gladly accept your return within 30 calendar days of delivery.

In what condition should the item be returned?

Products must be handled and kept with care and returned in their original state and packaging, with all original tags and labels attached. If your handling of the product(s) results in a decrease of its commercial value, we may proportionally reduce our refund to you.

Will you credit back my shipping costs if I return my order?

In case of returns for change of mind or for faulty goods, you will be fully reimbursed to your original form of payment, including possible shipping costs.

If you have purchased more than one product in an order and returned just one or some of them, we will reimburse you the pro-rata share of the total shipping costs you may have paid. For example, if you had purchased 3 items and returned 2 of them, we will reimburse you 2/3 of the total shipping costs you’ve paid.

Can I return an item for an exchange instead of a refund?

We do not offer product exchanges. If you are interested in a different size or colour, you will need to return the item(s) and place a new order. Your return will be refunded once it has been received and processed at our warehouse. Start a Return here. See How Return an Online Purchase here.

What should I do if the product is incorrect or arrived damaged or defective?
