Delivery times are a combination of,
- Product Delivery Time (indicated on each product page) +
- Shipment Time (depends on the method you choose and shipment location)
Your order is expected to reach you by the total of the two delivery times. Our collections are unique and hand-crafted in most cases, and this obviously affects delivery times.
Ready to wear products are shipped within a few days of your order from our Indian office and the made to order styles are shipped as soon as they are ready. Exact delivery times are specified on individual product pages.
Delivery times are indicative in nature and might be subject to delays due to stock availability, customs delays or due to transportation delays. We aim to keep you informed at all times if we anticipate any un-planned for delays in your delivery.
We can offer multiple delivery options in some cases (express deliveries) and the costs vary depending on the choices. Please do not hesitate to contact us for specific delivery options.
