When ordering a gift where you choose an alternative address to your billing address, payment details and item prices will not be included on the invoice in the parcel. Unfortunately, we do not offer a gift-wrap service or gift vouchers.

Our published prices are what our customer pays regardless of territory and include VAT at the applicable rate for that territory, in the case of the Channel Islands, zero.

Like many retailers, we run short promotions at different points in the year. These promotions are sometimes across all items and sometimes against selected lines only and therefore a product you particularly like may or may not be included. Likewise, your chosen product may no longer be available by the time that we run a promotion. In this case we will not refund the difference.

The delivery company will only deliver to the door step of the ground floor and cannot allow their team members to enter a customer’s premises as their insurance does not cover this. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. During Covid-19 restrictions, they are offering contactless delivery for your safety and peace of mind.

We can deliver to the main entrance of the flats on the ground floor. We are sorry but our carriers are unable to carry items up flights of stairs or into your property as they would not be insured. Please make it clear on your delivery address if your property is a flat and provide a telephone number for the carrier. This will help to prevent a failed delivery. Delivery of large and heavy items may require that you meet the driver at the ground floor entrance to accept delivery. These may be delivered on lorries rather than vans so you need to advise us if there are any parking restrictions.

Yes, if it is more convenient, we can deliver to a different address for example, a relative.
The delivery note will not contain prices and we can also add a personal message if the order is for a gift.

If you would like to have items sent to different addresses, please complete a separate order for each address. A separate delivery charge will be applied to each order.

Stock availability is the same whether you order online or by phone. The website will show if a product is in stock or the date that it is expected back in stock. In both these instances orders can be placed online or by phone. If a product code does not register in the search box on the website, it means it has been discontinued and is no longer available to order.

If you are between sizes, we would suggest selecting the larger option. We source our clothing from a wide range of producers and so styles may fit differently. Style, cut and fabric will also have a bearing on how a garment will fit. Garment lengths differ from style to style. Please refer to the specific size guide on the product page for more information.

We are committed to disposing of any unsold stock responsibly via donations to various charities. Under no circumstances is this stock sent to landfill. The vast majority of old stock is cleared via online sales, so the quantities concerned are very small.
