    2. 2.2. The Item/s has not been used or worn; and
    3. 2.3. If the Item/s is/are underwear, swimwear or “specially marked items” then the Item/s must have remained in the original packaging (this protects the hygiene interests of all our customers as non-defective Items are returned to stock).
  3. If you wish to return an Item/s to us you will need to follow the electronic returns process available on the site, and in terms of that process, our courier service will be instructed to collect the Item/s from the address nominated by you. Alternatively a return or exchange can be done at any store provided it is within 30 days and you have proof of purchase
