As we're now paperless, you won't need a returns note to send your items back to us. We'll receive all of the information from the Royal Mail returns link.

Our Returns Policy

We always hope that you love all the items you receive. However if for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your purchase we offer a simple return policy. We will give you a full refund as long as:

• It has been less than 30 days since you received your item
• You have not damaged, altered, worn, stained or marked it.
• It is in resalable condition e.g. tags still attached and in original packaging 

Please do not return items bought online to our stores. Only send them back to us using the steps below:
