Would you sell?

Unless it is featured in our “For Sale” category, we are only renting.

Shipping?

We post our garments at a flat rate of $15 using an overnight tracked service, so that you can check the whereabouts of your garment once it has been posted. The $50 refundable bond is included in this cost. Please note that after we have posted the garment, it is up to NZPost to get the garment to you. Their delivery targets are only guidelines, therefore we cannot be held responsible if it doesn’t arrive on time. In this case, we will issue you with store credit.
