Refund policy

【English】
Except for defective items, we do not accept returns.

To be eligible for a return, the item must be in the same condition as when received — unworn, unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. A receipt or proof of purchase is also required.

Exchanges

The fastest way to receive the item you want is to return the product you currently have. Once the return has been accepted, you can place a new order separately.


EU 14-Day Cooling-Off Period

Notwithstanding the above, if merchandise is shipped within the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without justification. As above, the item must be in the same condition that you received it: unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. A receipt or proof of purchase is also required.


Refunds

Once we receive and inspect your return, we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If approved, your refund will be automatically issued to your original payment method within 10 business days. Please note that it may take additional time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund.

If more than 16 business days have passed since your return was approved, please contact us at info@thedarlingtokyo.com.
