For your return to be accepted, items must meet the following conditions:
- Unworn: the item must not have been worn or used
- In original packaging: items must be returned in their original packaging, with tags
- Unwashed: no product must have been washed
- Tag intact: the product tag must still be attached and in good condition
- Unstained: items must not show any stains or odors (perfume, detergent, etc.)
- Undamaged: The item must not show any snags, holes, damaged seams or other deterioration.
IMPORTANT: We do not accept returns of items that have been worn, washed, stained, damaged, or are missing their tags.
We ask that you package the items carefully for return.
We take great care in preparing and packaging our orders and expect the same attention when returning products.
Returned items are put back on sale. They must therefore be properly protected in their original packaging or in suitable packaging to avoid any damage during transport.
If the packaging is insufficient and the items are damaged during transport, the return may be refused and the items sent back to the sender. Return label fees already paid will not be refunded.
2. Return Fees
Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, at the same rate as the delivery costs displayed on the site for relay point delivery. (4.95€)
Orders that have benefited from free delivery are still subject to return fees.
Once your return request has been validated, we will send you a payment link to pay for the GLS return label.
After payment, the shipping label and return instructions will be sent to you by email.
Requests are processed manually by our team and not automatically. We commit to sending you the return procedure within 24 to 48 hours (excluding weekends).
3. Return Procedure
To return an item, please read all instructions and terms and conditions.
a. Complete the online form: Fill out the online return form below. We commit to responding within 24 to 48 hours. If you do not receive a response after this period, please contact us again or check your spam folder.
b. Pay for your shipping label Once the form is submitted, if your return is approved, you will receive a payment link by email to pay for the return label. After our software receives and validates the payment, we will send you the shipping label by email along with instructions for making the return. A simple payment confirmation from you is not enough: the payment must be validated by our system before instructions and the label are sent.
c. Prepare your return package: Once payment is validated, you will receive the GLS shipping label, return instructions, and the withdrawal form (paper) by email.
Print the withdrawal form (paper) and the return label received by email. Fill out the form and then обязательно place it in your package to allow for quick identification of your return and processing of your refund.
Then, stick the GLS label on your return package before shipping it.
You will then need to drop off the package at a GLS partner relay point. (Some relay points may stop accepting drop-offs or be temporarily unavailable; we therefore recommend that you check available relay points near you before traveling or choose another one.)
Ensure that the returned item is properly packaged in its original packaging with the label and withdrawal form.
Returns are made via GLS to simplify the process for you and offer lower return costs. If this solution does not suit you, please let us know. In this case, shipping procedures must be carried out by you exclusively through La Poste and the return must be sent to our premises. Return costs will remain entirely at your expense.
4. Refunds or exchanges
Upon receipt and verification of the returned items, we will process the refund to the payment method used for the order.
The refund will be issued within a maximum of 14 days after receipt and validation of the return.
Only the amount of the returned items will be refunded.
The initial shipping costs as well as the return costs are not refundable.
If the item does not meet the return conditions, we reserve the right not to issue a refund.
The customer can also request an exchange within the same timeframe as returns.
The request must be made via the return form.
For an exchange, return shipping costs remain the responsibility of the customer, while shipping costs for the new item are offered.
The exchange can be made for another item. In case of a price difference, this will be either credited or debited as appropriate.
