As soon as your order is placed and payment has been accepted, you will receive a confirmation email containing your Order Number.

We have included this term to protect us in the case a mistake has been made in pricing, goods have been inadvertently under-priced, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for any reason.

If you realize you have made a mistake in your order once your confirmation email has been received, contact us via email or telephone and we will rectify any errors before dispatching. Please let us know if you need your items urgently and we will do our best to get them to you as quickly as possible.

Any customs or import duties are levied once the package reaches its destination country. These charges must be borne by the recipient.

Returns Policy
Your rights to return goods are protected under the United Kingdom’s Distance Selling Regulations. Your order is supplied so that you may try on the garments only. You may not wear the garments for any other reason. Your garment(s) may have a security device fitted for our protection. Do NOT remove this device or tamper with it in any way, or we will be unable to accept a return.
We will accept return(s) only if the garments have not been worn and are received in the original condition in which they were supplied, including original tags and packaging, within 14 days of receipt. All items will be inspected upon their return. Include a copy of the invoice that you received with your order. On this invoice please state which item you are returning and the reason for returning.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When trying on items of clothing, ensure that you are not wearing perfume, make-up or a deodorant which may leave a scent or marks on the item. Silk is a very delicate fabric, so take care if wearing jewellery as this can snag the fabric. We will be unable to accept the return of any item where there is evidence that these instructions have not been followed.
The item is your responsibility until it reaches us. For your own protection, we recommend that you send the parcel using a delivery service that insures you for the full value of the goods. It is also advisable to keep a receipt of postage for your records. The items are your responsibility until they reach our address:

Please be aware it can take up to an additional 7 working days for refunds to appear on your bank statement once a transaction has taken place. Please be advised that refunds will not be made to a third party, also postage costs will only be refunded if the order was sent incorrectly, or contained faulty or incorrect items
Although all items are checked thoroughly before dispatch, if the item you received is faulty or incorrect, do not hesitate to return it to us. On the invoice please state which item you are returning and whether it is incorrect or faulty. Please also state if you would like a refund. If you do not request a refund you will automatically be sent the correct item or a replacement for the faulty one. This returns policy does not affect your statutory rights.
