Returns and Exchanges
In line with EU consumer protection rules, customers within the EU have the right to return items within 14 days of delivery for a refund.
To be eligible for a return or exchange, your item must be in the same condition you received it: unworn, unused, with tags attached, and in its original packaging.
The buyer is responsible for the cost of return shipping. We strongly recommend sending returns via a signed-for service, as we cannot be responsible for items lost in transit.
Once the item is received and inspected, we will process your refund to the original payment method.
Please note that because each garment is made to order, exchange orders fall under the same conditions as a new purchase and are subject to the same production lead time.
