Returns
As previously mentioned, we stand by our conscious designers and small businesses and our policies reflect and support this intention.

We highlight the delivery days and return and refund policies on each of our products individually so as to ensure you have all the information you need in order to make a well informed decision at the time of your purchase. We are also available on info@defyne.co for any questions that you may have or any additional help that may be required by you.
You have 10 days after receiving your purchase to request a return. Returns can be requested on grounds of damages, manufacturing defects, incorrectly shipped items or size exchanges only. We are all for slow and handcrafted production and as part of this practice, the merchandise may have slight irregularities or imperfections in colour or make. However, these irregularities are a result of them being made by hand, adding a certain “je nais se quois” and making them one-of-a-kind. Please note, we do not consider these handcrafted irregularities as damages and we truly hope neither do you.
To be eligible for a return, please ensure the returns meet the following conditions. These conditions ensure no losses are suffered by either the conscious brands and small businesses or the artisans that work alongside them.
- Returns need to please be unused, unaltered, unwashed and undamaged.
- Returns need to please have all of their original tags attached and intact along with their original packaging.
- Where extras such as belts, authenticity cards, dust bags, and leather tags are provided, please ensure these are also included with the returns.
