General
When we receive your order you will receive an automated e-mail reply acknowledging receipt. No contract shall come into existence until we have accepted your order. Your order will be accepted by us by way of a confirmatory e-mail (‘Confirmation of Order’) which will confirm that we are able to send you the goods you have ordered, the price and the estimated delivery date.

Confirmation of Order shall contain all of the information regarding the goods you have ordered. You must immediately check the details contained in the Confirmation of Order and we advise you to print and keep a copy of it. You are able to correct errors in your order up to the point at which you click [“submit”] on your order.

Your statutory rights shall remain unaffected by these Terms and Conditions, and except in accordance with these Terms and Conditions all purchases are non-exchangeable, non-refundable and non-transferable. Every care has been taken by us in the preparation of the content of our website, in particular to ensure that prices quoted are accurate at the time of posting the product on the website and that all products are fairly described.

However, your order may not be accepted if there are material errors in the description of the goods you have ordered or their prices. All prices and offers are subject to change. We have aimed to ensure that the colours of our products appearing on our website are as near as possible to the colour of the product.

However, the actual colours you see will depend on your computer equipment, and accordingly, we are unable to guarantee the precise colour of the product on delivery. All products are subject to availability.

We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible in the event that the goods you have ordered are unavailable. In the event that the goods that you have ordered are unavailable a full refund will be offered. All prices are displayed on the website in either UK sterling or US dollars.

Unless otherwise indicated these are inclusive of VAT. Payments can be made in either UK sterling or US dollars via a debit or credit card. Please note only orders with a valid US billing and shipping address can pay in USD.

Delivery
We will aim to dispatch the goods ordered by you as soon as possible after your order has been accepted by us to the postal address you have given in your order. However, we cannot guarantee an exact delivery date and your goods may take longer to be dispatched if the goods you have ordered are not in stock at the time of placing your order or they are to be dispatched to an address outside of the UK.

Postal charges payable for goods dispatched in the UK will be notified to you in the confirmatory email. Deliveries outside of the UK may be subject to import taxes and additional charges for which you are solely responsible. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Title of the goods shall pass to you at the time payment for the goods is received by us in full. Risk in any product ordered will pass to you upon dispatch of your order.

Returns Policy
If you cancel before the delivery of any goods your money will be refunded and the goods will not be delivered. We will offer a refund or exchange on an unworn, undamaged item within 14 days of it being received by you. Refunds will be made to the credit or debit card used to purchase the item(s) in accordance with these terms and conditions.

If you return an item to us because it is faulty, we will include with your refund the postage that you were charged when purchasing the item, and the postage you paid when returning the item to us (this does not affect your statutory rights). If you are returning an item because it is unsuitable, we shall only refund the cost of the returned item, and you will be fully liable for the postage paid when returning the item to us and when purchasing the item. Items purchased online can be returned via post within 14 days of receipt of purchase.

Items can be exchanged at our headquarters (70 Redcliffe Gardens, London SW10 9HE) for free returns. We are unable to issue refunds on-site, refunds will be processed by the Victoria Makin Web Team within two business days. Repairs will be accepted and undertaken free of charge for all faulty bags up to 6 months old. If your bag needs repairing due to wear and tear or is more than 6 months old repairs will be charged for.

We will of course provide a quotation for approval before proceeding with any repair work. VM Designs London Ltd is dedicated to offering the highest levels of quality and service. Before returning any product, you must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA) number.

You can obtain an RMA number by emailing your request to [email protected].

Please indicate in your email the reason why the goods are being returned. All returned goods must be accompanied by a delivery note (this comes with the delivery of your goods), with completed details on the reverse. All items being returned in accordance with this clause must be safely and securely packaged to avoid damage in transit. We shall not accept an item for refund if it has been damaged in transit or otherwise.

We strongly recommend when returning items to us you use recorded or special delivery as we are unable to refund items which are lost in the post. All goods shall remain your responsibility until we receive them.
