THIS IS HOW YOU RETURN
Products purchased from our online store have a 14-day return policy from the date you receive your order. The return period begins from the time the order is picked up, and it is sufficient that the return has been registered and handed over for shipment within 14 days of receiving the order – the return parcel does not need to arrive at our warehouse within this time frame.
1. Check that the products are clean and tags are in place.
2. Request a return by navigating to your orders under the Account section in our store and selecting the desired order. Once you have opened the order, click 'Request return' and input the required information. This includes selecting the product you wish to return, and selecting a reason for the return. Note: If you return the item to the Helsinki store, you should still submit a return request in advance according to the instructions.
3. We kindly ask you to use the same shipping method for your return as was used for the original delivery.
This ensures that your return can be properly matched with the original shipment.
