Return Policy

As a producer of bespoke, handcrafted items, our return policy is designed to balance customer satisfaction with the unique cost and effort involved in custom production.

1. Eligibility for Returns/Exchanges

  • Timeframe: You have 7 days from the date of delivery to initiate a return or exchange.
  • Condition: Items must be unused, unworn, and in the same condition that you received them. They must also be in the original packaging. Shoes showing signs of wear (scuffing, creasing, damage to the sole) will be rejected.
  • Non-Returnable Items:
  • Custom/Bespoke Orders: Shoes made to specific, non-standard sizing, or with unique material/color requests are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged.
  • Gift Cards.
  • Items purchased during a final sale or clearance event.
