Please include your name and order number inside the parcel along with a brief note outlining your request so we can process your return quickly.

Returns/exchanges are processed once your return is received and checked. As a small team, verification and processing can take up to 21 days during busy periods.

* Please ensure you read our policy on returns included here before making a return.

💳 Refunds (faults only)

Refunds are only provided if the item is faulty or damaged due to a manufacturing fault, or where a remedy is required under Australian Consumer Law.

Fault claims timeframe

Claims must be lodged within 5 working days of receiving your order.
Please note: wear and tear is not considered a manufacturing fault. If garments are not cared for as per the enclosed care instructions eg: Ironed Prints, or items of clothing placed in clothes dryers claims will be null and void.

SALE items

Sale items are final sale and are not eligible for exchange or return, except where required under Australian Consumer Law.

🇦🇺 Australian Consumer Law

We comply with the Australian Consumer Law. You may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund if your item has a major problem, including if it:

  • Has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying it if they had known

  • Is unsafe

  • Is significantly different from the sample or description

  • Doesn't do what we said it would do, and can't be easily fixed

Colour variation note: Colours may appear differently on different devices and screens. Colour variation caused by screen/display differences is not considered a major fault, and we cannot offer refunds based on colour variation.
