How it works
PLACE AN ORDER

TRY AT HOME
Depending on where you live, choose between our Try Before You Buy or Concierge service. Once your pieces arrive, style with your wardrobe and decide which pieces you want to keep.
SEND OFF ANY RETURNS
If you need to return, you can do this for free via our returns portal, or just hand them to your concierge if using this service. Pieces must be returned within your try on period.
PAYMENT TAKEN
You will be charged only for the pieces you keep, and not for your returns in transit.
THE PACKAGING - our reusable packaging helps save up to 80% CO2 emissions compared to single use packaging and helps us towards our sustainability goals.
Hassle-Free Payments & Returns
We do not charge for pieces upfront and there is no obligation to purchase. This is a credit-free service and as such there are no hidden fees or interest charges.
At checkout, you will only pay the delivery charge plus a £5 fee. If you have chosen our Try Before You Buy service, your card will then be charged at the end of your 5-day try-on period for
any pieces which have not been returned. Making a return is easy via our Returns Portal.
For the Concierge service, we will take secure payment via
our mobile card reader at the end of your 40-minute appointment. Your Concierge
will take any returns away with them.

Why was a pre-authorisation set up?
In some instances where we are unable to fully verify your information, we may ask to place a pre-authorisation on your card. This pre-authorisation acts like a hold on your card (similar to a hotel or car rental). The amount will not be taken from your account, but held until the try on period is concluded, at which point you will be charged for the pieces kept and the pre-authorisation will be removed. We use this measure to ensure we can serve as many people as possible.
-
Why was my order declined?
There are several reasons why your order may have been declined. We will notify you during the checkout process if this happens. Most likely, we were unable to verify your information.
To ensure that we have the best possible information at checkout, please do the following:
· Provide accurate name and address details.
· Ship to your registered billing address when possible.
· Provide a valid and verifiable payment method.
If your order is declined, no payments will be processed. You can either re-enter your information and try again, or checkout through our normal process.
