Any items damaged in transit will need to be resolved with Royal Mail or the respective courier provider.

Please note:

Actual product colour may vary slightly due to individual monitor settings and picture quality enhancement. We try our best to describe our items exactly as it is.

On rare occasions, when an item has freshly manufactured lace or embroidery work completed on it, there may be an odour. This is not a fault. You simply need to air the item for a while.

Similarly, if there are few loose threads that can be easily removed or slight variations in embroidery designs/placement as a result of batch restock, this cannot be considered a fault. 

Occasionally, labels may be removed as the incorrect label is on the item. This is not a fault.
