For hygiene reasons, lingerie and earrings cannot be returned unless deemed faulty. Swimwear returns must be in an undamaged, unworn condition with all labels & product swing tags attached. All swimwear must be tried on over underwear, without removing the protective adhesive strip. In the interests of hygiene, returns may not be accepted if this strip has been removed or where it is obvious the items have been worn and may be sent back to the customer.

Please make sure all returned items are well packaged, as not to be damaged in the post.

If returning footwear, please ensure the box is protected with an outer packaging layer. The box is part of the product, and any damage may result in the return being refused.

We will send you an email or call you up regarding this.
