  • full view
  • front view
  • label
  • detailed photos in which the defect is easily visible

Our complaints department will contact you after reviewing the inquiry.

Please note that no complaints can be accepted for the following defects:

  • Already worn articles that do not offer the desired level of wearing comfort (e. g., shoes that cause blisters or clothing that "feels scratchy") as sensitivity varies from person to person.
  • Defects that are caused by wear from daily use, such as small scratches on a belt buckle or folding creases on the front/middle parts of a shoe.
  • Articles that have shrunk or been damaged due to improper cleaning.
  • Pilling (fine fibres that come together and form small knots/lint depending on the wear, friction and length).
  • Articles that suffer colour loss or cause staining, such as "bleeding" when washing jeans.
  • Defects caused by intensive or improper use.
