To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

Damages and issues
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.

Exceptions / non-returnable items
Certain types of items cannot be returned, such as custom printed and custom made products, unless there is a fault or defect. It is the obligation of the customer to request colour & print samples before committing to a custom order. There may be slight seasonal variations with our basecloths - customers are encouraged to request a recent sample swatch if needing a perfect match with previously purchased items.

Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.
