Returns Policy
Returns & Refunds — Driftwood Atelier
We want you to love what you ordered. If something isn't right, we'll make it right. We keep things simple by splitting returns into two categories.
Category A — Our Fault
If we made a mistake, we'll fix it fast.
This includes:
- You received the wrong item
- Your order arrived damaged
- There is a clear quality defect
What happens next:
- Email us at driftwoodateliers@gmail.com with your order number and a clear photo
- Once verified, we'll offer you a full refund or a free replacement — your choice
- You do not need to return the item
We handle these same day wherever possible. No back and forth.
Category B — Sizing & Preference
If it's not quite right, we've got you — just not with a cash refund.
This includes:
- Wrong size selected
- Fit not as expected
- Change of mind
What we offer:
- Full store credit with no expiry
Conditions:
- Item must be unworn, unwashed, unaltered, and with all original tags still attached
- Must be returned within 14 days of delivery
- Return shipping is your responsibility
- Any item showing signs of wear, washing, or alteration will not be accepted and will be sent back to you
Before you order — all measurements are listed in centimetres on every product page. If you're between sizes on any of our denim, size up. Our pieces are cut slim.
How to Start a Return
All returns begin with an email to driftwoodateliers@gmail.com
