Returns & exchanges

Modest wear has to fit before it can feel right. If a piece arrives and the size is off, or something is not what you ordered, here is how we sort it out.

7-day window  ·  Last updated: August 2026

We prefer exchanges over refunds, because getting you the right size is usually what you actually want. But if an exchange won’t work, a refund is available on eligible items.

02What condition the item must be in

  • Unworn and unwashed, apart from trying it on indoors.
  • All tags still attached and the original polybag or box included.
  • No perfume, deodorant, makeup, oil or food marks.
  • No stitching alterations, no hemming, no cut threads.
  • Free of pet hair and smoke smell.

Please note

Every returned parcel is checked when it reaches us. If an item arrives worn or altered, we send it back to you and no refund is issued, so please try things on carefully.

03What we can’t take back

For hygiene reasons, and because of how these pieces are made, the following are final sale:

  • Innerwear of any kind — bras, camisoles, slips, bodysuits, socks.
  • Hijab caps and undercaps.
  • Niqabs, since they sit directly on the face.
  • Items marked Sale, Clearance or Last piece.
  • Custom stitching, custom length and made-to-order abayas.
  • Gift cards.

This does not apply if the item reaches you damaged, faulty or different from what you ordered. In that case it is covered no matter what the category is.

04Size and colour exchanges

One free exchange per order on eligible items, subject to stock.

On a phone, swipe the table sideways to see every column.

If the size you want has sold out, you can pick a different piece of the same value, or take a refund. Please check the Size guide before ordering — it saves you a week of courier time.

05If we got it wrong

Wrong item, missing item, torn seam, faulty zip, colour clearly different from the listing — that is on us.

  • Message us within 48 hours of delivery with clear photos, and an unboxing video if you have one.
  • Choose a replacement or a full refund, including what you paid for delivery.
  • We arrange and pay for the courier both ways.

Not a fault

Handmade and hand-dyed pieces vary slightly, and screen colours differ from one phone to another. Small variations in shade, weave and embroidery placement are part of the fabric, not a defect.

Important

Please do not send anything back before we approve it. Unapproved parcels cannot be traced to an order and cannot be refunded.

07Refunds

  • Refunds go back the way you paid: bank transfer, Easypaisa or JazzCash. For cash-on-delivery orders we ask for your account or wallet number.
  • Processed within 5–7 working days of us receiving and checking the item. Your bank may take a few days more to show it.
  • The original delivery charge is refunded only when the fault was ours.
  • Store credit is available instead of a refund and never expires.
  • If a free-delivery order drops below Rs. 5,000 after a partial return, the Rs. 250 delivery charge is deducted.

08Cancelling an order

  • Cancel free of charge any time before the parcel is dispatched — just message us.
  • Once dispatched, it becomes a return and the policy above applies.
  • We may cancel an order ourselves if an item sells out, if the address is unreachable, or if we cannot confirm a COD order. You get a full refund and an explanation.
