RETURNS AND REFUND POLICY

 

 Most of our products are handcrafted and therefore minor differences in detailing are inevitable. Slight irregularities in prints and weaves cannot be considered as defects.

Some natural dyes like indigo will bleed during the first wash as will certain handloom fabrics like ikat. Slight variation due to differences in monitor settings is also to be considered normal and not a reason for return.

No guarantees are given on colour fastness and we do not offer any refunds /exchanges in such cases.

 
Handmade textiles deserve special care to retain their beauty and strength. Please read our wash and care instructions before using the garment. Damage caused by employing wrong methods of wash and care will not be considered as reasons for exchange or refund.

Customized goods cannot be returned or exchanged.

However, your satisfaction is important to us and we are willing to replace the product if you are not happy with your purchase, provided certain parameters are met.
