How long will my order take to arrive?

Do you deliver outside the UK?
At present, we deliver to UK addresses only. Please get in touch if you have a specific delivery request.
Pre-Loved Clothing
What is your pre-loved clothing range?
Alongside new products, we offer a carefully selected range of pre-loved clothing. We believe well-made garments deserve a longer life — offering them for resale helps reduce unnecessary waste while giving you access to quality brands at more affordable prices.
How is the condition of pre-loved items assessed?
Every pre-loved item is individually examined, accurately graded and clearly described within its product listing, including any signs of previous use, so you can make an informed purchase before buying.
Are pre-loved items genuine?
Yes. Every pre-loved item we sell, like every new product, is genuine and carefully sourced. We do not sell imitations, replicas or products of uncertain origin.
Can I return a pre-loved item?
Yes, our standard returns policy applies to pre-loved items in the same way as new products. Please see our Returns & Refunds page for full details.
Policies
What is your returns policy?
We want you to be happy with your purchase. Full details of our returns process can be found on our Returns & Refunds page.
Are your products genuine?
Yes, every product we sell — new or pre-loved — is 100% genuine and carefully sourced from trusted suppliers. Please note that outer packaging on new items may occasionally be marked or slightly out of shape, though the product inside always remains pristine and unused.
How is my personal information used?
We take your privacy seriously. Please see our Privacy Policy for full details on how your information is collected and used.
