FAQs

1. Sizing and stock availability

How do I find my size?

Please check our Size Guide where you will find size charts for each brand we carry.
If you have questions or are between sizes, please get in touch at info@garnetdistrict.com and we will do our best to help you find the best fit.

Can you re-order an item or size that is out of stock/not available and that I wanted to purchase?

Sometimes we can! Some designs are from seasonal collections that are made to order while others are from "signature" collections that are always available from the suppliers. We are a niche concept store with very limited stock, therefore we might not have been able to secure all available sizes of a specific range in the first place.

Please send us an email and let us know the style, colour and size you are looking for and we will do our best to get it for you.
We further recommend you sign up to our newsletter (scroll down to the footnote) to be notified when new stock comes in.

Do you plan to extend your size range?

As a niche concept store, we are constantly balancing our ability to increase our size range while avoiding dead stock and encouraging wasteful overproduction.
As we continue to grow, we will be increasing our size range as demand also grows, therefore we kindly ask you to stay patient.
Make sure you are signed up to our newsletter and follow our social media channels to hear about new size additions.

Are the accessories and clothing you are using for your styling ideas for sale?

If you are interested in purchasing an item we used in one of our photo shoots but that is not listed on our website, please get in touch with us at info@garnetdistrict.com.

2. Prices and payment

Does my order include VAT ?

All prices on our product pages are indicated in GBP and excluding VAT. For customers based in the UK, 20% VAT will be added at checkout.

Customers outside the UK will not be charged VAT. However, please note that your order may be subject to import duties and taxes. These rates vary by country and are beyond our control. We recommend you contact your local customs office to determine a landed cost price prior to placing an order.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and via PayPal.

I signed up for 10% off my first order but I can’t find my discount code!

If you have signed up to our newsletter and confirmed your subscription through the link we sent you, you will then receive a separate email containing your 10% discount code for your first order with us. If you have not received this email within an hour of subscribing to our newsletter, please check your spam folder and make sure that the email address you gave us was correct.

If you are still having trouble locating the email including the discount code, there may be an issue with the email address you provided. Please try signing up again using an alternative email address. If this still doesn’t work, please contact us at info@garnetdistrict.com

3. Placing an order

Can I cancel/change my order?

We process our orders as quickly as possible, so you won’t have to wait more than necessary for your order to arrive. If you notice a mistake or would like to amend or cancel your order for any other reason, please contact us immediately with your name, order number and full address at info@garnetdistrict.com.
If your order has not yet been shipped, we will then process your amendment or cancellation request.

Unfortunately, if your order has already been sent, we will be unable to amend or cancel it and you will need to return the order to us at your own expense.
Please note that we are located in London, UK, and might not respond immediately depending on the difference of time zones.

Where is my order notification?

After you have placed an order, you will receive an email with your order confirmation to the email address you provided at checkout. This order confirmation might sometimes take a few minutes to arrive. If you haven’t received an email from us within 24 hours since placing your order and made sure that it didn’t go to your spam folder by accident, please contact us at info@garnetdistrict.com.

4. Packaging & shipping

How will my order be packaged?

All of our orders are carefully wrapped in recycled tissue paper and come with our signature dust bag made of recycled cotton yarn that you can re-use to protect your garments. In case of smaller items, your order will be shipped in a discrete mailer bag. If the item is too large or you ordered multiple items that exceed the size of our mailer bags, we will ship your order in an unbranded gift box that is wrapped with our signature satin ribbon. This gift box will be placed inside a plain cardboard box for shipping.

Do you offer gift packaging?

Not yet, but we are working on a luxe packaging option that can be used for gifts.

Can I add a personalised message?

Yes! Leave a short love note in the comment box during checkout or contact us on info@garnetdistrict.com and we will include a personalised, hand-written card with the order.

Where do you ship to?

We ship worldwide.

How much is the shipping fee?

Please check our Delivery page for all shipping rates and lead times.

How long will my order take to arrive?

All orders are dispatched within two working days after payment has cleared. If there is an unexpected delay, we will make sure to let you know about it via email.

We offer standard shipping for all orders. Depending on your location, we will ship your order either with Royal Mail (which will be handed over to your national postal service once it passes the border of the destination country) or UPS. We will use a tracked & signed service where possible, but for some countries where only one option is available, we will choose tracked shipping without signature.

Shipping time varies depending on destination, shipping service and customs clearance. For more information see our Delivery page.

Will my parcel incur any additional customs or import duties?

If you are ordering from outside the UK, you may be charged additional customs fees to release your order from customs clearance. Unfortunately we have no control over these charges as these are levied by the local customs office. Please contact your local customs office if you are unsure about your country’s import fees.

You can exchange an item from your order for a different size and/or colour of the same style within 14 days from delivery. Please email us at info@garnetdistrict.com and we will try to accommodate your exchange request, however, this is not always possible. All exchanges are based on stock availability and we cannot keep items on hold until the item you wish to return has been sent back to us. If you want to be sure that the alternative colour/size you want doesn’t sell out, we recommend placing a new order before you send back the return package to us.

Only items can be exchanged that are in new, unwashed and undamaged condition with all original tags and protective strips still attached.

Once you have notified us about your exchange request, we will send you a return authorisation form via email. Please write your name, order number and the size and/or colour you wish to return your item for and include this document with your return package.
