3. Acceptance Conditions
We accept returns if the item:
· ✅ Has not been worn or used
· ✅ Has not been washed or damaged
· ✅ Is in its original packaging (intact, with all tags and labels)
Why these conditions? Tights, stockings and socks are products that come into direct contact with the skin. We cannot resell a tried-on or worn item to another customer – this is a matter of hygiene and quality.

5. Partial Returns
You can return any number of items from your order – you don't have to return everything.
How it works:
· Email [email protected] and let us know which items you are returning.
· You may keep the remaining items.
Special condition for Multipacks (discounted sets):
If you purchased a set (e.g. 5 pairs at a reduced price) and wish to return only part of it – the refund is calculated at the standard unit price of each item, not the set price. The diff itemsce will not be refunded.
A set of 5 pairs is offered at €19.95. The regular unit price is €5.99 per pair. You return 2 pairs and keep 3 pairs: 3 × €5.99 = €17.97 | €19.95 − €17.97 = €1.98 refund

Can I return an item without an account?
Yes – simply email [email protected] with your order number. We will send the GLS label to your email address.
I lost the original packaging – can I still return?
Unfortunately no: the original packaging is a mandatory requirement for returning hosiery items for hygiene reasons.
How long does a refund take?
Up to 7 business days after our confirmation. Usually faster. Bank processing may take an additional 1–3 days depending on your bank.
Do I need to provide a reason for returning?
No – you have the right to return without giving a reason. However, if you do share one (wrong size, quality didn't match expectations, etc.) – you help us improve.
What if I want to exchange rather than return?
We do not currently offer direct exchanges. Return the item and place a new order – it's faster and more convenient.
