Product Description and Defects

As much as Dear Lyla strives to provide an accurate as reasonably possible description of the products available for purchase on our website, please do take note that our products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Colours might appear slightly different in real life due to studio lighting conditions, or variances in individual’s computer screen settings/calibration. We do not warrant that product descriptions or other content on the website are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.

A defective merchandise is defined as an item that has manufacturer defects at the point of receipt that affect the outer appearance of the clothing and is obvious when worn (before washing), holes, pills, missing buttons or spoilt zippers which are unable to be zipped or unzipped.

Some examples of other minor imperfections that are unlikely to affect the overall appearance of the clothing and hence not considered as defects are:

1. Minor variations in measurement - within 0.5 inches (measured when item is laid flat and untouched), is not considered a defect as our items are all mass manufactured by hand.
2. Slight colour deviations are also not considered defect as colours may appear different under different monitor resolutions and studio/outdoor lighting.
3. Placement of prints for printed items as it will differ for every piece due to cut of fabric.
4. Minor stains or technical markings that can be easily washed off.
5. Small stains on light coloured items that are not obvious.
6. Loose threads, loose buttons, dropped buttons which can be easily resewn.
7. Minor threading on inner lining and minor stains in inner lining/areas that are not visible when worn.

Due to the nature of some fabrics such as linen, satin or fabrics with textures, there may be some streaks/slight stains/specks of fabric on the items. However, this is not considered a defect.

Treatment of clothing with the use of bleach, strong detergents, high heat (e.g. dryer or iron) or soaking may result in unintended damage to your clothing items. Dear Lyla will not be able to offer a replacement or refund once your items have been washed.

*Sale items may have slight defects like small scratches or small stains that are not obvious and negligible when worn. They are strictly not returnable and can only be exchanged to a different size of the same item.

If the reason for return/exchange is verified as incorrect or defective item, Dear Lyla will bear the cost of all shipments. If there are still stocks available for the defect item, Dear Lyla will arrange for a one-to-one exchange. In the event if the defect item is out of stock, a refund via store credits will be issued.

*Please ensure you have received our acknowledgement via email prior to returning defective or incorrect items. 

All other reasons for a request for return or exchange will be considered on a case by case basis.

Dear Lyla reserves the right of final decision in the event of any dispute.
