01

How long does delivery take?

Please allow approximately 10–12 working days for processing and sourcing, followed by 2–5 working days for UK delivery.

Most orders arrive within 14–20 working days from the date of purchase.

02

Can I return an item?

Yes. If you wish to request a return, exchange, store credit, or refund, please contact us within 14 days of receiving your order.

Items must be unworn, unused, unwashed, and returned in their original condition with tags attached.

Please note that sale, discounted, promotional, clearance, raffle, giveaway, and special-offer items are final sale and cannot be returned unless faulty.

03

Do you offer exchanges?

Yes, we do.

If your item is eligible, you can request an exchange within 7 days of delivery.

Exchanges are subject to product availability. If the requested item is unavailable, we may offer store credit or an alternative solution.

04

Do colours vary from the photos?

Occasionally, yes.

We make every effort to display colours accurately, however slight variations may occur due to screen settings, photography lighting, fabric dye batches, and the unique nature of artisan-crafted products.

These variations are normal and are not considered faults.

05

Are your products handmade?

Many of our products are sourced in limited quantities and may feature artisan craftsmanship and unique detailing.

As a result, slight variations in stitching, print placement, embroidery, texture, or finish may occur and contribute to the individuality of each piece.

06

How should I care for my garments?

Please follow the care instructions provided with your item.

For many of our cotton and artisan-crafted products, we recommend gentle care and washing similar colours separately, particularly during the first wash as some fabrics may release excess dye.

Where stated, dry cleaning is recommended.

07

What if my item arrives damaged or incorrect?

Please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and include your order number along with clear photographs of the issue.

We will review the matter and work with you to provide a suitable resolution.

08

Do you offer private consultations?

Yes.

We offer private shopping consultations from our Croydon studio where you can browse our collection in a relaxed and personalised environment with one-to-one attention.

There is absolutely no pressure to buy.
