Our aim is to process any returns within 5 working days from when we have received them. We strongly suggest that you send any returns using a DDU traceable postal service for returns as we cannot be held responsible for any items that are damaged or go missing during transit. We will send a confirmation email when we have received the returned items.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn and unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. Please note that all products must be unopened in the original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

You are responsible for any postage and packaging costs of returning the goods to us. Once we receive the goods back from you and we are satisfied that they are in a good, unused condition we will refund you the cost of the goods in full by the method used to pay for the original transaction.
