An instant exchange allows the customer to receive the new item immediately, before returning the old one. The customer must provide a temporary deposit corresponding to the price of the new item, including bank details. If the item to be returned is not shipped within 15 days, this deposit will be permanently debited.
An exchange sent after receipt of the return means that the new product is shipped only after we have received and verified the return of the old item. No deposit or additional bank details are required in this case.
In the event of a price change between the initial purchase and the size exchange, the price of the returned product takes precedence. Thus, if the price of the product of the same reference has increased, no supplement will be required. Similarly, if the price has dropped, no refund will be made.
If you wish to exchange your product for a higher-priced one , you will have to pay the price difference. On the other hand, if the product you wish to exchange is cheaper, a refund will be issued.
If the item you wish to exchange is no longer available, we invite you to return it.

Wash at low temperatures to reduce energy consumption. Excessive heat can accelerate the degradation of textile fibers and fade colors. We recommend washing at between 20 and 30 degrees maximum, and spinning at between 400 and 800 rpm.
Wash delicate items by hand whenever possible, as this reduces fabric abrasion compared with machine washing. Use a mild product such as Marseille soap to minimize the proliferation of chemicals in the water.
This simple gesture prevents the various patterns and details on the front of your garments from deteriorating. At the same time, it prevents garment fading and minimizes pilling of knits, for example.
Wait until you have a full load of laundry before running your washing machine. This maximizes energy efficiency and reduces the total number of wash cycles. Nevertheless, we advise you not to exceed a load of ⅔ of your machine's capacity, as overloading the drum can exacerbate friction between garments.
For synthetic garments likely to release plastic microfibers, you can use a mesh wash bag to collect these particles and prevent them from entering wastewater and the oceans. What's more, this reduces the friction between materials, helping to prolong the life of the garment.
Avoid using a tumble dryer whenever possible. Hanging your clothes to dry in the open air is one way to reduce energy consumption and extend the life of your pieces over time.
Avoid excessive ironing, as heat can affect the very structure of the fibers. Instead, use a steamer to minimize the direct impact of heat on the fabric.
By adopting certain practices that are accessible to you, you can help preserve the durability of your garments while minimizing the environmental impact associated with their care. For our part, it goes without saying that ecological responsibility isn't just your responsibility. We're committed to promoting the use of eco-responsible materials, including recycled fibers, to minimize our footprint.
