I saw an item on social media, but I can't find it on the website. Why is that?

Simply get in touch and we will try to source it for you. Please keep in mind that the item may take a few weeks to be restocked, but we will always do our best to try to find it for you. Unfortunately on occasion the item may be sold out with our suppliers, and not restocked. Styles and trends change and we love when new items arrive, which happens regularly.

I have tried to add two of the same items to my basket but can't, why is that?

The item that you have in your basket is the last one in stock, therefore you can't add any more of this item. You're welcome to send us a message and we will let you know if and when the item comes back in stock.
