Do I need to be registered to place an order on-line ?

Returns and Exchanges

How do I return an item ?

Unsuitable items purchased via our on-line store must be returned within 14 days of our dispatch date for exchange or refund, except for sale items when they must be returned within 7 days. The items must not have been used and still have all tags still in place. Grace and Dotty product may have a security tag attached in a prominent place, the security tag is easily removed by cutting through the string which attaches it to the garment. If you remove the security tag you will be unable to return or exchange the products except where you are covered by our statutory rights.

Unsuitable items purchased at an event from us can be returned within 14 for a refund or credit note, however sale items, special purchases or non-regular stock lines can only be returned in exchange for a credit note against future purchases.

To return an item please email us at webmanager@graceanddotty.com to receive an authorisation note for the return and the address to return the item to. Items returned to our office address without the correct authorisation note may not get returned to our warehouse promptly and this may cause a delay in receiving a refund.

Where an item is faulty we retain the right to replace the item or issue a credit, unless the item is within the 30 days return window, where a refund may be given. Sale items can only be returned in exchange for a credit note against future purchases.

All items must be returned in a re-saleable condition, should this not be the case we will notify you upon the return, and reserve the right to charge a re-processing fee of up to 35% of the item cost. This charge will be at cost to us.

General Questions

How should I care for my Grace and Dotty product ?

With lots of love and care. Our Capes have shoulder loops to help you hang the product on hangers. We always recommend that they are hung and kept in a garment cover whenever possible. The Headbands should also be looked after, if the faux-fur does flatten, then simply fluff it back up with COLD air from a hairdryer, DO NOT use any heat. The Dog Rugs can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Our products are all Dry Clean Only

Where are your products made ?

We are proud that our products are Made in England, in our own production unit, where our quality and dispatch can be closely controlled.
