Item Condition Requirements
To keep our inventory pristine and authentic, returned items must meet all of the following:
Unworn and unwashed, no odors (smoke, fragrance), stains, pet hair, or fabric stress.
All original brand tags attached and our tamper-evident security seal intact.
Original packaging and accessories included (bag, stickers, cords, pins, etc.).
No alterations (e.g., tailored hems, removed tags, repaired seams).
Include macro photos on request (neck tag, wash tag, hologram, and any noted issue).
If any requirement above isn’t met, we may decline the return or apply a partial refund/restocking fee.
How to Start a Return
Email [email protected] with your Order #, reason, and delivery date.
Attach or link clear photos (tags, hologram, full garment front/back, and issue if applicable).
Wait for approval and instructions (RMA + return address and label options).
Pack securely and ship within 7 days. Share tracking to keep the process moving quickly.
Return Shipping & Fees
Customer-paid returns: You may use any trackable carrier; we recommend insured service.
Prepaid US label: Available for a flat $12.00, deducted from your refund.
Original shipping costs and duties/taxes are non-refundable.
Restocking fee: 10% if brand tags/packaging are missing or security seal is removed; up to 20% if signs of wear are present but item remains salable.
Exchanges
We offer size or item exchanges when stock allows. The fastest method is a return for refund and a new purchase. If you prefer a direct exchange, contact Support so we can place a brief hold on the replacement item.
Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items
Report within 48 hours of delivery with photos (unboxing photos/video helpful).
We’ll provide a prepaid label and priority resolution: replacement (if available) or full refund upon inspection.
Cosmetic box wear from transit is not considered a defect unless it affects the garment’s condition or value materially.
Refunds & Processing Time
Inspection typically within 2–3 business days of arrival.
Refunds post 3–5 business days after approval to the original payment method.
Shipping, duties/taxes, and prepaid label fees are not refundable.
If returned outside the approval window or without RMA, processing may be delayed or refused.
International Orders
Mark returns “Return Goods” on customs forms to avoid additional import charges.
Duties and taxes paid to your local carrier or customs agency are not refundable by us.
Any re-import fees we incur due to misdeclared returns may be deducted from the refund.
Non-Returnable Items
Items marked Final Sale or Clearance.
Mystery boxes or blind packs.
Undergarments and socks.
Customized or altered items.
Products missing security seals or with evidence of wear.
Cancellations & Address Changes
Free cancellation before fulfillment begins. Contact us ASAP.
Once shipped, we cannot cancel. You may refuse delivery and request a return upon its return to us (shipping fees and a $15 carrier return fee may apply).
Address changes can be made prior to shipment; after dispatch, we’ll attempt a carrier intercept but cannot guarantee success.
Measurements & Color Tolerance
Manual measurements allow a tolerance of ±1 cm.
Colors may vary slightly due to lighting and screen calibration; we aim to present accurate, natural lighting in photos.
Chargebacks & Fraud Prevention
We provide macro-tag and hologram photos plus tracked delivery for verification.
Chargebacks filed without contacting Support first may delay resolution. We supply carriers’ proof of delivery and inspection logs to processors.

Yes, where applicable. Original packaging helps protect the garment and preserves resale value. Missing packaging may incur a restocking fee.
Can I drop off a return in person?
We currently do not accept in-person returns. Please ship using a trackable carrier to the RMA address provided by Support.
How will I know you received my return?
We’ll email you upon check-in and again after inspection with your refund or exchange confirmation.
What if my package is lost in transit?
If your return is lost, the carrier’s tracking and insurance terms apply. Use insured, trackable service and keep your receipt until the refund is issued.
