STOCK AVAILABILITY
Can I purchase multiple sizes in the same item?
To be fair to all of our customers our policy when purchasing garments is that we have a limit of one per size per style per customer.
Why has my order been refunded when it said there was stock available?
Because we operate online and at our physical boutiques in Mount Maunganui there is the potential for someone to be buying the same item in-store that you are buying online, or that two online orders (with the same item in their cart) may process their orders at the same time which can result in the website overselling. On the rare occasion that this may happen, we will be in touch straight away to offer you a refund or exchange.
