Return Policy
Last updated: 2nd September 2026
Since our apparel is produced through print-on-demand, each piece is made specifically for your order. This means our return policy is more limited than a typical retail shop, but we stand behind the quality of what we make.
1. Eligibility for Returns
Returns are accepted only in the following situations:
- The item arrived damaged or defective (printing errors, fabric defects, stitching issues)
- You received the wrong item (incorrect product, size, or design from what you ordered)
- The item significantly differs from what was advertised
We are unable to accept returns for:
- Change of mind
- Incorrect size selected at checkout (please see our Exchange Policy for size-related requests instead)
- Items that have been worn, washed, or altered in any way
2. Timeframe
You must report any issue within 48 hours of receiving your order. Claims made after this window may not be eligible for a return or refund.
3. How to Request a Return
- Message us on WhatsApp with your order reference number
- Include clear photos or video showing the issue (damage, defect, or incorrect item)
- Our team will review your claim and respond within 24 hours with next steps
4. Refund Method
Approved returns are refunded via the original Paystack payment method used at checkout. Refunds are typically processed within 5–7 business days after the returned item is received and inspected (for damaged/incorrect items, we may not require the item to be sent back, at our discretion, depending on the nature of the issue).
5. Non-Returnable Items
- Caps and made-to-order custom prints, once confirmed correct and undamaged, cannot be returned for reasons outside the eligibility criteria above
- Items purchased as part of a bulk/custom order (10+ pieces) follow the terms agreed upon at the time of the custom quote, which may differ from this standard policy
6. Contact
All return requests must go through WhatsApp at +2347064829776 or email thesilkstudiong@gmail.com. We do not accept in-person returns without prior confirmation of eligibility.
