Do you offer Pre-orders

On some collections we are able to offer pre orders. This excludes any Spell collections where pre-orders are strictly prohibited. Please note pre-orders are not able to be canceled. If your item isn’t suitable you can make a return request as per normal.

Product disclaimer

Some of the items we stock are handmade, and because of this they come with quirky minor flaws or the natural materials may vary slightly. Because of this, please take this into consideration when purchasing.

Please be aware that garment colour may look different to how it is photographed, we try to give the most accurate examples. Products will generally look slightly different "in real life" compared to the photographs because computers and phones are calibrated differently which results in the colours being depicted differently on screen.

We make every effort to keep sufficient stock of items listed on our website, occasionally we do sell out of certain products and sizes as we are a small business and only carry limited numbers of stock.

If we are out of stock on an item you have ordered,we apologise and we will notify you via email. Any changes will be reflected in your order total via email.

  • Unworn
  • Unwashed
  • Unaltered
  • In their original packaging
  • In original condition

Proof of purchase must also be provided.

We cannot accept returns if items have been worn, damaged, altered or are missing their original packaging.

Orders purchased using promotional codes, loyalty vouchers, sign-up codes or sale offers may also only be eligible for online store credit unless otherwise stated as final sale.

Can I exchange my online order?

Because we carry limited stock, we are unable to offer direct exchanges for online orders.

If you require a different size or style, please follow our returns process and return your original item within the applicable return timeframe for a refund or online store credit. You can then place a new order for the item you would like.

We are unable to hold stock for exchanges.

Can I return an order where I used online store credit?

Yes. Items purchased using online store credit are eligible for one change-of-mind return per store credit issued, subject to our standard returns policy.

The one-return allowance applies to the original store credit as a whole, rather than to each individual order.

For example, if the same store credit is used across multiple purchases, the one change-of-mind return allowance applies to the original store credit and not to each separate order.

Once a return has been made against a store credit, any subsequent purchases made using the remaining balance of that store credit are final sale and are not eligible for a further change-of-mind return or exchange.

Any new store credit issued as a result of the permitted return may be used towards a future purchase. However, that subsequent purchase is final sale and is not eligible for a further change-of-mind return or exchange.

In other words, one change-of-mind return is permitted per store credit issued, regardless of how many separate orders the store credit is used across.

This does not affect your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act in relation to faulty or incorrectly supplied items.

Can I get a refund if I used a loyalty voucher?

Orders purchased using a loyalty voucher can be returned for online store credit only, for the amount paid, less shipping.

Loyalty vouchers cannot be reinstated or added back to your credit note.

Multiple consecutive orders placed to obtain a loyalty discount may be declined a refund. In these circumstances, we may offer store credit on the earlier order at our discretion.

Can I return or cancel a pre-order?

Pre-orders cannot be cancelled.

Once your pre-order has been delivered, our standard returns policy applies, provided the item is otherwise eligible for return.

Will I receive the full amount I paid back?

Depending on the circumstances of your return, applicable fees may be deducted from your refund or online store credit.

These may include payment-provider fees, return shipping charges and handling fees.

Are there fees for change-of-mind refunds?
