Quick answer: In plain English: we want you to love your outfit, so we send a video of your finished piece for approval before we ship — which resolves most concerns before dispatch. Because most of our pieces are made to your measurements and your custom colour, bespoke and made-to-order items generally can't be returned (like most tailored clothing), while eligible ready-to-wear items may be returnable within the timeframe set out in our full policy. If anything arrives faulty or not as approved, contact us straight away and we'll put it right. Always read the full returns policy for exact terms before ordering.
Returns policies can be confusing, especially for made-to-measure clothing. Here's a clear, plain-English overview — but always check the full policy page for the exact terms that apply to your order.
First: we prevent problems before they happen
Our biggest "returns" safeguard happens before dispatch. We film your finished outfit and you approve it on video before we ship, so colour, fit details and finish are confirmed while the piece is still with us — not discovered after it arrives. (See why we film your outfit.)
Made-to-order and bespoke items
Most AÏNN London pieces are made to your measurements in your chosen colour. Like bespoke and tailored clothing generally, these are made uniquely for you, so they typically can't be returned or exchanged simply for a change of mind. This is standard across made-to-measure womenswear — and it's exactly why we confirm everything on video first. (See ready-to-wear vs made-to-order.)
Ready-to-wear items
Eligible ready-to-wear items may be returnable within the window and conditions set out in our full policy (typically unworn, unaltered, with tags, in original condition). The exact timeframe and process are on the policy page — please read it before ordering.
If something's wrong
If your outfit arrives faulty, damaged, or genuinely not as you approved on video, contact us straight away with photos and we'll make it right. We stand behind our craftsmanship. (See how we operate.)
How to avoid needing a return at all
- Measure carefully (or ask us to guide you). (See how to take your measurements.)
- Choose your colour from the library and confirm it. (See the colour library.)
- Use the video approval to check everything before dispatch.
- Use the 3–5 inch alteration margin with a local tailor for the final fit. (See getting alterations right.)
- Ask questions before you buy — we're happy to help. (See questions to ask before buying.)
