Shipping & Returns

Thank you for shopping second-hand! Your purchase is helping the environment by slowing down the manufacturing of new clothes, and keeping perfectly good items out of our landfills. Due to the nature of vintage clothing, items are pre-loved and may show signs of wear. This only adds to beauty of vintage and second-hand. Any major flaws will be noted in the product description. We recommend reading our descriptions carefully. Please excuse us if we overlooked anything major on your garment.

Returns & Exchanges -

Due to the nature of being a small business operating online and at in-person markets we cannot accept any returns , exchanges or credits to your account. Absolutely no exceptions. We ( being a single person operation ) put an exceptional amount of work into sourcing unique one-of-a kind vintage & pre-loved goods and do our best to note any flaws in our description and provided photos. Once we have sold something we simply do not have the resources to return or exchange an item.

Due to the nature of selling unique one-of-a kind vintage & pre-loved items and hand-made knits - we are unable to accept any returns, exchanges or credits to your account at any time for any reason. ALL ONLINE & IN PERSON / MARKET SALES ARE FINAL SALE WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

If something unfortunately does not work out for you, we recommend gifting to a friend or relative, or re-selling on a slow fashion re-sale platform such as Noisaf Bazaar , Depop or Poshmark etc.
