Returns and Refunds Policy
14 days to cancel
Your right to cancel
If you've bought from us online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, for any reason, without needing to explain why. This is known as the "cooling-off period" under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. To cancel, simply let us know in writing (email is fine) within that 14-day window.
Returning your goods
Once you've told us you're cancelling, you then have a further 14 days to send the item back to us. You're welcome to inspect the item as you would in a shop, but please take reasonable care of it while it's in your possession — if it's returned damaged or used beyond reasonable inspection, we may deduct an amount from your refund to reflect this.
Return postage costs
You will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us, unless the item is faulty, damaged, or not as described.
Refunds
We'll refund the price you paid, including standard delivery charges, within 14 days of receiving the item back. Refunds will be made to your original payment method.
Exceptions
The right to cancel doesn't apply to goods made to your specification or clearly personalised, for example the ELITA Bespoke service.
Faulty or misdescribed items
Separately from the above, if an item is faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose, you're covered under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 — you may be entitled to a full refund within 30 days of purchase, or a repair/replacement after that. This applies regardless of the 14-day cooling-off period.
How to start a return
Use our online Returns Centre — enter your order number and email, choose the items and we'll email you the return instructions. You can track the whole process online.

Damaged or missing parcels
Check your parcel on arrival. If anything is damaged in transit, photograph the packaging and the product and send it to us within 48 hours so we can claim against the courier and get a replacement out to you quickly.
