FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if my item is faulty?
We're so sorry if an item you received is not in perfect condition. Please follow the returns process. Once approved we will meet our obligations under the Australian Consumer Law or similar legislation which may include replacing the item if the stock is available or giving you a refund upon receiving your faulty item back.
What if my item is incorrect?
If you have received an item you did not order, please email us and we will either replace the item correctly and facilitate a return or refund you if it is no longer available.
What if my parcel goes missing?
Your order parcel is missing: If your order has gone missing, please email us to let us know and we can explore the tracking history for your item and try to resolve the issue. You will hear from us via email.
Your return parcel is missing: Please note, due to insurance limitations, if your return parcel is deemed lost in transit, we are not eligible to refund lost parcels sent without tracking to us. If your parcel was tracked and has gone missing we will explore the tracking history and try to resolve the issue. You will hear from us via email.
Do I have to pay for postage on returns?
Subject to our obligations under the Australian Consumer Law or similar legislation, for any return you will be responsible for shipping and handling charges to return any unwanted items. If the package does not reach us safely we will not be able to complete the refund, we recommend sending via a traceable method for peace of mind and to retain proof of postage until you have received confirmation that your return has been processed.
What about international returns and duty? (Contact us to confirm your refunds process)
Subject to our obligations under the Australian Consumer Law or similar legislation, international returns cannot be accepted where the value of the items being returned in one shipment is over $1000. Please lodge the items as per the regular 30 day period and ship the items separately if necessary as we are not responsible to pay duties to receive the goods. If there is a charge it may be deducted from your final refund. You as the customer will be liable for any duties incurred as your parcel leaves your destination.
Are vintage items eligible for returns?
Please consider your purchase carefully as there is strictly no refunds on second hand goods which are exempt from the exchange policy for new products and sold "as is". Bear in mind the item is pre-worn, deadstock or has had a previous lifetime. Wear consistent with the item's age should be expected, and extra care should be taken in wear, laundering and storage. Sizing may be inconsistent with modern clothing so we cannot guarantee fit for these items.
We take great effort and time to describe items accurately, and any specific issues, especially those that would detract from the presentation or wearability of the garment, will be mentioned and photographed in the listing.
Happy Shopping!
