Frequently Asked Questions

Price Adjustments:
During holidays, sales & promotions,, customers have 7 days from their purchase date to request a price adjustment if an item they bought goes on sale. Adjustments apply only to standard promotions and must match the exact item purchased.

Flash Sales:
Flash sales are one-day, limited-time offers. Because these deals are deeply discounted and time-sensitive, price adjustments are not available on flash sale items, nor can previous purchases be matched to flash sale pricing.

In short:
Price adjustments apply to qualifying promotions within 7 days of purchase. Flash sales do not qualify for price adjustments due to their limited nature.

• Discounts cannot be stacked or combined. Customers will always receive the offer that provides the best value.
  

• Returns are accepted within 90 days of purchase for a full refund, as long as items are unworn, unwashed, and have original tags attached.
• Returns made after 90 days are still accepted for store credit, provided items remain unworn, unwashed, and tagged. The credit will reflect the product’s current value.
• For free gift promotions (e.g., “Spend $150, get a free hat”), all items must be returned. If the free gift is not returned, its value will be deducted from your refund.

• During the holiday season, customers have 7 days from their purchase date to request a price adjustment.

When you opt-in for Unlimited Free Returns/Exchanges at checkout, your return shipping label is included, allowing you to return any item(s) in your order for a refund or exchange for FREE. If you decide not to buy Unlimited Free Returns/Exchanges you can still return your items, but you will be responsible for the cost of the return shipping label. All returns are subject to the guidelines outlined in our Return Policy.

• We want you to shop confidently, which is why we're offering a generous 90-day return window for a full refund. If you decide within 90 days of your purchase that it’s not quite right for you, simply return your item in its original condition (unworn, unwashed, with tags attached) for a full refund.
• If it’s been more than 90 days, no worries! You are still eligible to make a return after 90 days, but instead of a refund you will receive store credit as long as the item(s) are unworn, unwashed, and has the original tags attached, we’ll issue store credit for the current value of the product.
