We will take all reasonable care of orders, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on your part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from our Website.

Prices are subject to change at any time but no change will apply to an order we have already confirmed. The prices of garments and products mirror time, the cost of materials and logistics. Please keep in mind that prices do not include delivery.

However, if you wish to order a bespoke item, the shipping time-frame will be extended. The creation of a custom piece requires additional time. We will confirm the estimated shipping date with you once the specifications for your bespoke order have been approved.
