Q: Can I pay with cash for a bespoke order?
A: Yes, if you have arranged an appointment for our bespoke service, cash can be accepted as a payment method.

Returns & Exchanges

Q: Do you accept returns?
A: Due to the handmade nature of our pieces, we do not accept returns on made-to-order items. However, we are happy to make adjustments where possible. We do have a small selection of 'In Stock' items that may be returned within 14 days if unworn and in original condition. Please note: Items from the OUTLET collection are final sale and not eligible for return.

Q: What if my item arrives damaged?
A: We take great care in packaging, but if your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 24 hours with photos, and we will work to resolve the issue.

Care & Maintenance

Q: How do I store my item?
A: Store your hat, headpiece, or headband in its box, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid placing heavy objects on it to maintain its shape. Veiling is particularly delicate, so we recommend packing it with tissue paper to help retain its original form.

Q: What should I do if my hat gets wet?
A: Gently blot excess water with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat or a hairdryer.

Contact & Appointments

Q: How can I book a consultation?
A: You can book a consultation via our Bespoke Service page or email us directly.
