Returns & quality claims

Last updated - 1 July 2026

Manufacturing orders are made to your specification, so "returns" work differently than in retail. This policy describes how quality claims are raised and settled. It exists so that both sides know the rules before production starts - the same rules we would want as a buyer.

The quality standard

The standard for every order is the approved pre-production sample plus the written specifications agreed before bulk. A garment is defective if it materially deviates from that standard - wrong fabric, wrong measurement beyond agreed tolerance, broken stitching, misprinted or misplaced logos, stains, or missing components.

Normal commercial tolerances are not defects: measurement within ±1.5 cm on most points (agreed per tech pack), minor shade variation between dye lots, and quantity tolerance of ±3% per style/colour as described in our terms.

  3. Carton numbers where the affected pieces were found

We respond within 3 working days with our assessment and proposed resolution.

How claims are settled

Depending on the defect rate and what makes commercial sense, settlement is one of:

Shipping goods back to Indonesia is rarely economical and is not required for a claim to be honoured - documented evidence is sufficient. Where return shipment is genuinely needed, we agree the logistics and cost split case by case before anything moves.
