Returns sent without prior approval or to an incorrect address may not be processed.
For voluntary returns, return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise required by applicable consumer law.
30-Day Return Policy
You may request a return within 30 days from the date your order is delivered.
To be eligible for a voluntary return, items must:
- Be unworn and unused
- Be unwashed
- Be returned in their original condition
- Have all original tags attached
- Show no signs of wear, damage, alteration or use
For hygiene reasons, certain items such as swimwear may only be eligible for return if any hygiene protection remains intact and the item has not been worn, subject to applicable consumer rights.
Cancellation Policy
Cancelling Your Order
Orders begin processing shortly after they are placed.
If you wish to cancel or modify an order, please contact us as soon as possible with your order number.
If your order has already been processed or dispatched, we may no longer be able to cancel it.
In this case, please wait until the parcel has been delivered and then contact us to begin the return process.
Orders in Transit
Once an order has been dispatched and is already in transit, it can no longer be recalled through our normal cancellation process.
Please wait for your order to be delivered before requesting a return.
You may contact us in advance to let us know that you intend to return the order once it arrives.
Return Shipping
Customers are responsible for the cost of voluntary return shipping unless the item received is defective, damaged, incorrect, or applicable consumer law provides otherwise.
The correct return destination will be provided after your return request has been approved.
We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping service and keeping your proof of postage until your return has been completed.
Refunds
Once your returned item has been received and inspected, we will notify you of the outcome of your return request.
If approved, the refund will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.
Please note that your bank or payment provider may require additional processing time before the refund appears in your account.
Original shipping charges, where applicable, are not refundable unless required by law.
Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Items
If you receive a damaged, defective or incorrect item, please contact us as soon as possible and provide:
- Your order number
- Clear photographs of the item
- A short description of the issue
Our customer care team will review your request and provide the appropriate solution.
South African consumers also have statutory protections relating to defective or poor-quality goods; the Consumer Protection Act provides remedies for qualifying defective goods within six months of delivery.
