Refund policy
30 DAYS
You have 30 days to return any unused product including sale items that are NOT marked as FINAL SALE items. All merchandise must not be worn, altered, or washed before it is returned.
EASY RETURNS
The majority of orders are shipped in an Empire resealable bag. To return a product, simply place the item being returned in the bag, then peel off the strip and press the flap down to seal the package. If your order was shipped in an Empire cardboard box, reuse the same box. After completing your return requests, print and stick your return label on your package and stop by a local post office to drop it.
RETURN REQUESTS
All return requests must be processed by our online Return Portal. If you placed an order online and want to return an item, please click here or log into your account to start the process.

Return shipping fees are to be paid entirely by the customer.
EXCHANGE A PRODUCT
All returns will be refunded once they are received and treated at our offices. Shipping and handling fees are not refundable. If you would like to exchange the product you are returning for another size/color, we invite you to place a new order for the replacement of your choice. By proceeding this way, the replacement product will be reserved for you and it will be shipped to you without delays.
