For Ready To Wear styles like our robes we offer a simple shipping at checkout option:

UK Standard - £9.95

EU Standard - £29.95

International Standard - £49.95

If this option is available it will be offered at checkout.

All other prices on the site are quoted ex-works from the studio so shipping will be raised as an additional invoice. For these styles you will see the 'Bespoke Shipping TBC' option. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS MARKED AS 'FREE' BUT THIS MEANS IT WILL BE CALCULATED LATER AS A SEPARATE INVOICE. This is because shipping costs vary considerably based on your international location, order choice and packing requirements so need to be worked out on an individual basis. Please contact us in advance if you would like a provisional quote.

If we are shipping outside the UK are responsible for any duties and taxes payable on delivery - this now includes the EU.

If we are shipping outside the UK you are responsible for any duties and taxes payable on delivery.

All International sales should now be offered ex-VAT. This works by confirming your shipping destination so it currently does not work if you use the express checkout options (Apple Pay etc). Please do not use these payment options for international orders because you will not pay the ex-VAT price. If you do place an international order and are charged VAT in error please contact us so we can refund and correct this.

Because of the bespoke nature of our sales and production we will not accept any returns for made to order occasion or bridal wear. Returns on samples might be accepted at our discretion if agreed in writing in advance. Alternatively, if you are unhappy with your purchase, this can be transferable to another piece.

Please contact us if you would like your options and rights explained with regards to these programs.

Once you place an order we will send an email confirmation along with our T&Cs. All orders are contracted under our terms and conditions.
