7 – Satisfaction or your money back :
The goods proposed by LADY CHRYSTEL are made with the utmost care and as close as possible to the models shown on the website or in sent photos.
We order fabrics from Great Britain's most famous mills. Swatches can be ordered on request and at low cost from most of these mills, like Lochcarron, House of Edgar, Marton Mills, etc.. As we  depend on these mills for our tartans and tweeds, we cannot be held responsible if they are out of stock, or if there is a slight difference in weight or colour, or if they produce a new edition of a specific weave. The same applies to our custom-made items : there may be minor variations to the shown  models.
Customers have up to 7 working days from the day you receive your order (Postmark acting as proof) to send it back with your invoice if you are not satisfied. Incomplete, damaged or soiled items will not be taken back. Shipping fees for returns will be payed for by the customer. We ask you to please take the greatest care with the packaging and the shipping back because the buyer has sole responsability when returning an article.
In case of refund, this will only be done through Paypal within 30 days.
LADY CHRYSTEL declines all responsability in case of incorrect measurements being sent. In this case, all alterations will be charged to the customer.
