We are committed to transparency and honesty.
October Eighteen is a small, bootstrapped, privately-owned fashion house, establishing ourselves in the world of fashion and technology. All of our garments are made to order by our designer and her small team of artisans. We take pride in the fact that our products are not mass-produced in factories or by middlemen. In fact, any stock items we have in our studio are extremely limited.
We believe this approach is key to a greener and more sustainable future in fashion. While we want to offer great return experiences like the fashion e-commerce giants we admire and try to learn from, we must also consider certain economic realities when it comes to our return policy.
We understand that occasional exchanges or returns may be necessary. If you are not satisfied with your order, you may return it to us for either an exchange of size or colours, or store credit within 14 days of receiving the item.
We do not offer cash refunds as a return option.
Should you have any questions regarding measurements or size selection, please feel free to contact us. Our team is dedicated to helping you make informed purchasing decisions.
Eligibility for Returns:
- A request for a return must be submitted within 14 days from date of delivery receipt.
- The item(s) must be in original condition with the original packaging and all tags attached. Items showing signs of wear, washing, or alteration will be refused. Please take care when trying on garments, as we cannot accept garments that have incurred any makeup stains or smell of perfume.
- Made-to-measure and customized items are not eligible for return.
