Online Return & Refund Policy

1. Eligibility for online returns and refunds

Returns, refunds or exchanges are available for all non-frozen and non-perishable products with proof of purchase (order confirmation email or order number) within 30 days of purchase. The item needs to be sealed, unused, with all its tags and in re-saleable condition. You are responsible for keeping the goods in the required condition until they are returned to us; this includes posting the item with the correct packaging to avoid damages.

2. Incorrect, damaged and defective goods

In the case of receiving an incorrect (colour, size or product), damaged or defective item, contact us right away. Consequently, for faulty items, we will request proof (pictures) and in most cases, the item will need to be sent back to us.

4. Initiating a return and refund request

To initiate the return or process:

For Royal Mail orders go through the Royal Mail Return Portal

6. Assessment

Our team will assess your email and if necessary, request more information. After consideration, we will contact you with a decision relating to the return of the goods in question. Only after we contact you with approval should any items be sent back to us, never before. Exemptions and exclusions at point 9.

Returns of unwanted items need to be returned to us within 14 days following our approval email.

7. Return, refund and exchange options

Upon receiving the goods in their original state, sealed and with all the tags, we can either process the refund or exchange, depending on your choice.

In return for a refund of unwanted items, we will process the refund within 14 days of receiving your item using the same payment method. Usually, this process takes 2–4 working days.

In the event of a return to exchange, we will send your chosen item back to you within 14 days of receiving your item. Your exchanged item will be sent to the same person at the same address.

8. Online returns, refunds or exchange charges

If the goods sent to you were incorrectly picked and packed (e.g. different size or colour), you will need to post the item back to us under the same conditions as when it was sent to you. We can send the return label to you via email. In some cases, we might be able to request a collection from your address. If you would like the latter option, please express your wishes when contacting us.

If you would like to return a product and request a refund due to a change of mind, you will be liable for the postage charge back to us of £3.50.
If you would like to exchange a product for a different colour or size, you will be liable for the postage charge back to us (£3.50). We will also charge you an additional shipping fee for posting the replacement goods back to you

If the order was already sent to you when you requested the cancellation, we reserve the right to only refund the order value without the postage. You will still need to send the item back to us before a refund can be processed
If the goods are faulty, we will cover both the original postage charge and the postage of the replacement goods. We can send the return label to you via email.
