Order Acceptance

Orders placed by you are an offer to purchase and will be accepted by us, subject to stock availability. If something is not in stock, we will either let you know at the time of ordering or as soon after the order has been placed as possible. However, the contract for the sale of the goods will not be formed until delivery of the goods to you at the address you provide to us.

If you have supplied us with your e-mail address, we will notify you by e-mail as soon as possible to confirm receipt of your order.

We reserve the right to change at any time any of the details of the garments on the site, including prices, colours and sizes.

How do I pay for my order?

Payment by Credit/Debit card

You can use either a credit or debit card for anything you buy online. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Switch, Amex and Delta Cards, but we can't take Solo or Visa Electron because the cardholder has to be present during the purchase. When you checkout, you will be asked to fill in the credit card type, number and expiry date. For security reasons, we don't keep your credit card information so you will have to re-enter it each time you shop with us (sorry!).

Bank Transfers

In an effort to improve on our procedures and service levels to our customers we have taken the decision to withdraw the Online Bank Transfer as a payment option as of September 2014.

Credit Card and Debit Card payments as mentioned above are secured by Global Iris and HSBC to ensure we provide you with a secure shopping environment in-line with other etailers alike. We hope you will find this a speedier and more efficient service going forward.

How can I be sure my order went through?

Once we get your order, you will receive an e-mail confirmation - usually within minutes - that will include an order number for your reference. If you don't receive an email within a couple of hours, please call us on our UK order line on 020 7326 8080 or our International number on +44 20 7326 8080 before placing another order.
