How long will it take to deliver my order? |
|
We aim to process all orders within 3 - 4 days if the items are in stock. We do try to make sure that as many items as possible are held in stock, however, due to the unique way in which we work with our producer partners in South India, there are times when this is not possible. All of our stock is hand made exclusively for us by skilled craftswomen and tailors in rural India. When we are waiting for a consignment from India, delivery time could be up to four weeks, we will always let you know if this is the case.
All orders are dispatched by first class mail. Special delivery (next day) can be arranged.
Sometimes your order may be sent in more than one parcel, either directly from our head office, or if we do not have it available there, from one or more of our shops. You will only be charged p&p once.
At very busy times such as Christmas and end of season sales it may take us a little longer to process your order, if you need items urgently please contact us by phone or e-mail.
|
How much will it cost to deliver my order? |
Our standard post and packing charge is �3.95. This covers UK, Channel Islands and BFPO. Special delivery will be charged at �6.50 If items are to be sent to more than one address, we will charge post and packing for each address.
Charges for posting to Europe are calculated according to weight, we feel this is the fairest way. Once we have your order ready to process we will contact you by email letting you know the delivery charge. We are sorry but we are unable to accept orders from outside Europe.
|
Can I have all or part of my order sent to someone else? |
Yes certainly, if you would like us to send a parcel to a third party we can certainly do this for you. Just let us know where you would like us to send your parcel. All receipts and paperwork will be sent to your own address. If items are to be sent to more than one address, we will charge post and packing for each address.
|
Can I change or add to my order later on? |
If you wish to amend or add to your order please contact us straight away as we try to process all orders as quickly as possible (often on the day they are placed). If your parcel has not yet left our premises, then of course we can add to it or amend it. Once the parcel has been dispatched, any amendments will be treated as a separate order and postage and packing charges will apply.
|
What happens if I need to return something? |

If you wish to return an item and order another completely different item (e.g. returning patchwork trousers and ordering denim jacket) this will be treated as a new order and postage and packing will be charged accordingly.
All refunds will be processed within 7 days. Refunds can only be made to the person who made the original purchase.

What do I do if the goods are faulty? |
If you have a complaint about one of our products, please do let us know, we really do want to get it right for the sake of both our customers and our producers whose livelihoods depend upon us. We try very hard to make sure that items are described and photographed as accurately as possible but please be aware that as all items are hand made, there will be slight variations in size, colour and detail. Colour photography is notoriously fickle and each colour may look different on any given monitor. If you are not entirely satisfied please follow the returns procedure as set out above, and let us know whether you would like a replacement or a refund.
|
Will you refund my postage? |
For returned goods, we will refund the cost of the goods but not the postage. For exchanges, the replacement goods will be sent out to you free of charge.
