Returned items must be unworn, unwashed, and have the original tags attached. The item should be ready for another customer.
The Receipt is Your Golden Ticket
To initiate a return, you'll need proof of purchase. This can be a receipt or an order confirmation email. Without this, returns may not be possible.
Online Orders vs. In-Store Purchases
