Returns
Need to return? No worries
Sometimes things just don’t work out. But we’re not going to leave you on the hook.
We want to keep good quality clothes in circulation, that’s why we offer easy returns with 14 days.
To help us reduce waste, keep your items in their purchased condition with tags attached when you try them on. Items returned in their purchased condition can still be sold on to a new home. This means less stuff in the landfill, and more loved clothes to go around.

Vintage clothing sizing can be a muddle. With each decade, brand and even tailor having their own ideas of sizes and cuts… Sometimes you’re just not sure.
That’s why every item we post is measured and given the closest current EU size on a standard Size Information table.
But size is only one part. Here’s some other things you can do:
- Check your measurements against the chart.
- You can go with your known clothing size, but it’s always handy to double check yourself with a tape measure.
- Consider the style, cut and fabric of the item.
- The shape of a style can change how it fits.
- The fabric can change how the size feels and how it sits.
- Modern fabrics often have a % of stretch included. Vintage fabrics usually don’t.
- Look closely at the item description and photos.
- Any small stains or defects are always noted in the description. We’ll cut you a bargain though.
- It’s normal for vintage and secondhand clothes to have a small amount of wear and tear. A bit wear still falls under Good condition.
- Our item photos are mostly flatlays (so we can get them up on the site fast and with less costs to you). But a flatlay can make items look wider. Keep that in mind when assessing style.
