Frequently Asked Questions

Products

Are all your products genuine?

Yes, we are licensed stockists for all our products. They are 100% authentic as sold by the brands themselves.

Are all your products made in Portugal?

Though we focus mainly on Portuguese brands and on acknowledging the quality of "made in Portugal" items, we complement our product offer with several international brands. Whenever an item is Made in Portugal it will be classified as such on the product description section.

How do I check if an item is in stock?

If an item is available to order online then this means the item is in stock. Generally, items with no stock will be identified with a 'Sold Out' label, and items with low stock will show a quantity countdown. For products that are out of stock, you may choose to be notified via e-mail when they are restocked by clicking on "E-mail when available". 

From time to time and particularly with some of our more popular items, due to limited shared stocks, there may be some discrepancies. We will inform you as soon as possible, via e-mail, if a product you ordered is out of stock.

Some brands and products show limited stock, do you have more items or sizes available?

As we have a very close relationship with our partner brands, sometimes we can get you the item you want even if it shows as "Sold Out". If you are absolutely set on ordering an item that shows as 'Sold out', make sure to contact us to see if we can restock it.

What are 'Made to order' items?

Items labelled as 'Made to order' are produced specifically upon order. We do not carry stock for these, and they will only be produced once their order receives payment. As such delivery timings may be extended - please refer to the Product Description info for detailed production deadlines. Special conditions may apply to these items, including exceptions to our Return and Exchange policy.

Can I get more information about a product?  

We do try to give you as much information as possible on all our products, however, if you require any additional detail please send us an e-mail. We will be happy to help and even get in touch with the brand and designer to answer your every question.

The item I bought recently is now on sale, can I get refunded for the difference? 

As an online business, our prices change in accordance with sales trends and objectives, customer demand and stock availability. We are, therefore, unable to refund the difference in price when an item you have purchased goes into sale, although we do understand how frustrating it can be if you buy an item full price and its available on sale the next day.
