Refund policy

Returns
Sage + Merlot pieces are thoughtfully crafted in limited quantities. We encourage customers to review product details carefully before purchasing to ensure each piece is the right choice.

We accept returns within 14 days of delivery.

To be eligible for a return, the item must be returned in the same condition in which it was received, including:
- unused and unworn
- with all original tags attached
- with all original packaging and protective materials
- accompanied by proof of purchase
Returns showing signs of wear, use, damage, or alteration may not be accepted.

Please handle items with care when inspecting them. Returns that show signs of excessive handling beyond what is necessary to inspect the item may not be accepted.

Material Care
Due to the delicate nature of suede and natural leather, items must be returned free from marks, scent, stains, or signs of wear, including but not limited to perfume, cosmetics, or colour transfer.
Items returned with visible marks, alterations to the nap of the suede, or other signs of handling beyond standard inspection may not be accepted.
