Common FAQ's

Shopping Online with Us

Our goal is to introduce new products on a daily basis, ensuring that every time you visit, you'll discover something new! Please make sure to check back regularly :)

Regrettably, once an order has been placed and paid for, we are unable to accommodate any modifications to the items selected. Our system operates fully automated, which means that as soon as an order is confirmed, it's already in the process of being shipped to you. However, it's essential to be aware of your rights under the UK Distance Selling regulations. Within 14 working days of receiving your order, you have the option to cancel your order contract. To initiate this process and receive a full refund, please notify us of your intent.

Sizing

With the exception of specific cases, our clothing items are vintage in nature and may differ from today's standardized clothing sizes. To ensure a perfect fit upon arrival, we measure each garment in inches while it's laid flat. Our goal is for your purchase to fit you impeccably. For a comprehensive understanding of our measurement process for various items, we encourage you to refer to our Size Guide.

Payment

We offer a variety of payment options to accommodate your preferences, including Visa Debit, Visa Credit, MasterCard, Paypal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Amazon Pay. To maintain a secure shopping environment and prevent fraud, both we and the card issuer will validate and authorize all credit and debit card transactions.

Value Added Tax (VAT) at a rate of 20% is already included in all our prices. This means that the price you see is the final price you pay, and there are no additional VAT charges.

Please note that for orders shipped using Royal Mail, we cannot make any changes due to the specific requirements of postcodes and local dispatch areas managed by courier depots.
