It is against the law to sell counterfeit goods. Therefore, we can take any attempt to re-sell counterfeit goods extremely seriously. In addition to our strict authentication process, customers consigning their items for sale must comply with our terms and conditions of sale which require that the item they are selling is owned by them and is authentic. Where possible, we will also request to see a copy of the original proof of purchase.
Each and every one of our bags are personally sourced, and we’re confident you’re going to love them. If, however, for some reason, it’s purchase is not exactly what you hoped you, we’ll gladly refund it (minus the shipping charges for both your delivery & return) provided your return matches all the following conditions.
If you are shipping an order outside of the UK, you may need to pay local customs and taxes for your purchase. You are liable for any and all charges.
