Shipping Policy

We aim to process and dispatch all orders within the timeframe stated on our website, excluding weekends and UK public holidays. Delivery times provided are estimates only and may vary depending on location, courier services, and customs processing for international orders. Once your order has been dispatched, responsibility for delivery passes to the courier. We are not able to control delays caused by postal services or customs authorities, but we are always happy to assist where possible if issues arise. Tracking information will always be provided. Please ensure your shipping address is entered correctly at checkout, as we are unable to take responsibility for parcels delayed, lost, or returned due to incorrect or incomplete address details. If an order is returned to us due to unsuccessful delivery, additional shipping charges may apply before the item can be resent. Risk passes to the customer once the item has been delivered to the address provided. Once an order is marked as delivered by the courier, it is considered complete, and we cannot accept responsibility for loss or theft after delivery. In the event that a parcel is delayed or appears lost in transit, we will assist customers in opening an investigation with the courier where possible. However, outcomes are subject to the courier’s policies and timelines. Delivery confirmation provided by the courier, including photographic or GPS confirmation where applicable, will be considered evidence of successful delivery. We are not liable for delays or failures in delivery resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to extreme weather, natural disasters, strikes, or transport disruptions.

International Duties & Taxes Policy

For international customers, please note that all prices listed on our website exclude import duties, customs fees, and local taxes. These charges are set by your destination country and are not within our control. Any customs duties, taxes, or additional fees incurred are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid directly to the relevant authorities. Unfortunately, we are unable to cover or reimburse these charges. We are not responsible for parcels delayed, held, seized, or destroyed by customs authorities due to local import regulations or documentation requirements. Parcels abandoned by the customer or customs authorities due to unpaid fees are not eligible for refunds or replacement. If customs fees are refused and a parcel is returned to us or disposed of by customs, we are unable to issue a refund. We recommend checking with your local customs office if you are unsure about potential charges before placing your order.

Returns, Refunds & Exchanges Policy

Because our collection consists of vintage and pre-owned footwear, all sales are final, and we are unable to offer returns, refunds, or exchanges once an order has been placed. Vintage footwear can be delicate and may change once worn, even with careful use. For this reason, we encourage customers to review all photographs and descriptions carefully and to contact us with any questions before purchasing — we’re always happy to help. This policy does not affect your statutory rights under UK consumer law. In the unlikely event that an item is significantly not as described, please contact us and we will work with you to resolve the issue. Any concerns regarding an item being significantly not as described must be raised within a reasonable timeframe after delivery, with supporting photographs where requested.

Vintage Condition & Product Disclaimer

We specialise in vintage, pre-owned, and up-cycled footwear. By nature, vintage items may show signs of previous wear, ageing, or minor imperfections. These characteristics form part of the product’s history and uniqueness and should not be considered faults. All items are carefully inspected, cleaned, and restored where appropriate, and any notable flaws or signs of wear are clearly described and/or photographed in the product listing. By purchasing a vintage item, you acknowledge and accept its pre-owned condition as described. All items sold are vintage or pre-owned unless stated otherwise. Minor imperfections, material aging, and signs of previous use are normal for vintage footwear and are not considered faults. Due to the age of vintage items, we cannot guarantee their longevity, durability, or comfort once worn. Materials such as leather, adhesives, soles, and hardware may have naturally weakened over time, even if an item appears unworn. Please also note that sizing, fit, and feel may differ from modern footwear due to changes in manufacturing standards over the years. By purchasing vintage footwear, customers acknowledge and accept these inherent characteristics. As a sustainability-focused business, we prioritise reuse, restoration, and up-cycling. Some items may include repaired soles, replaced laces, or restored finishes. These enhancements are intended to extend the life of the product and will be disclosed where applicable. Such restoration does not affect your statutory consumer rights.

Sustainability & Ethical Practices Disclaimer

As a sustainability-focused business, we aim to promote reuse, restoration, and responsible sourcing. However, sustainability claims are based on best-effort practices and may vary between products. We do not guarantee specific environmental outcomes or impacts for individual items. Restorations and up-cycling processes differ depending on the condition and age of each product.

Product Listings & Photography Disclaimer

We make every effort to display our products as accurately as possible, including detailed descriptions and photographs. However, colours, textures, and appearance may vary slightly due to lighting, screen settings, and natural aging of vintage materials. These variations do not constitute faults. Some photographs may be taken under studio or natural lighting conditions, and appearance may vary when viewed in different environments. Differences in monitor or mobile device calibration may affect colour perception and do not constitute misrepresentation.

Sizing & Fit Responsibility Clause

Sizing information is provided as a guide only. Due to the age and origin of vintage footwear, sizing may vary from modern standards. Customers are responsible for ensuring suitability of fit before placing an order, and we recommend comparing measurements carefully and contacting us with any questions prior to purchase. Heel height, shape, and stability vary between vintage styles and eras. Customers are responsible for assessing suitability for their intended use. We recommend taking care when wearing vintage heels, particularly on uneven or slippery surfaces.Vintage footwear is purchased and worn at the customer’s own risk. Due to the age of vintage items, we cannot guarantee performance, comfort, or structural integrity once worn. We are not responsible for injury, discomfort, or damage resulting from wearing our items. We do not provide medical or professional footwear advice. Customers are responsible for determining whether an item is suitable for their individual needs. Wearing vintage footwear may place additional stress on aged materials, and customers should exercise caution when wearing items for extended periods or high-impact use.

Refusal of Service Clause

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders at our discretion, including in cases of suspected fraudulent activity, abusive behaviour, or repeated misuse of our policies. Any cancelled orders will be fully refunded where applicable. We are under no obligation to disclose the specific reasons for refusing service where permitted by law. Repeated attempts to circumvent policies, exploit errors, or abuse customer service may result in permanent refusal of service.

Item Availability Clause 

All items are subject to availability. In the rare event that an item becomes unavailable after purchase due to inventory error, we will contact the customer promptly and issue a full refund. Due to the unique nature of vintage items, we cannot guarantee restocking of any product once sold. Product images and listings are representative of a single, one-of-a-kind item unless otherwise stated.

Communication & Contact Expectations

We aim to respond to all customer enquiries within a reasonable timeframe during business hours. Please note that response times may vary during busy periods, weekends, or public holidays. Enquiries sent via social media platforms are not guaranteed to receive a response and should not be relied upon for order changes or urgent matters.

Jurisdiction & International Customers Clause 

By purchasing from our UK-based website, international customers acknowledge that UK consumer law applies to all transactions, regardless of the destination country. Any disputes arising from these Terms and Conditions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
