Policy Overview

We want every order to arrive exactly as expected. Because of that, our replacement and refund process is reserved for items that are defective, damaged, missing, or incorrect — we do not accept returns for change-of-mind, sizing preference, or styling reasons. The sections below walk through exactly what qualifies and how the process works.

Before You Order There may be slight variation between the product photography on our site and the item you receive. Please read the size guide and product description carefully before checkout — sizing-related returns are not accepted.
02

Cancellation & Return Window

Orders can be canceled free of charge within 24 hours of being placed. After that window, your order enters processing and can no longer be canceled.

If a return is approved under one of the qualifying reasons below (damaged, missing, or wrong item), the item must be reported within the timeframes listed in each section, and any physical return must be shipped back to us within 15 days of delivery in its original, unworn, unwashed condition.

Condition Requirement Items that show signs of wear, washing, or use will not be accepted back and will be returned to the customer at their own cost.
03

Damaged Products

If you receive a damaged product, you’re eligible for a refund or replacement. Here’s how to start the process:

  1. Contact us immediately at support@commedessgarcon.com as soon as you notice the damage — within 48 hours of delivery.
  2. Share your order details — order number, plus a clear description or photos of the damage.
  3. We verify the issue and confirm whether a refund or replacement is the better fit for your case.
StepActionTimeframe
ReportEmail support with order number & photosWithin 48 hours of delivery
VerificationOur team reviews the evidence submitted1–3 business days
Refund IssuedProduct price refunded, shipping fee deducted5–7 business days after approval
Shipping Fee Deducted: $20 USD

Approved refunds for damaged items cover the product’s purchase price; the original shipping fee of $20 USD is non-refundable and will be deducted from the total.

04

Missing Items

If something from your order didn’t arrive, let us know within 24 hours of delivery. Include your order number and a note on which item(s) are missing — we’ll investigate with our fulfilment team and take the appropriate action, whether that’s shipping the missing piece or issuing a partial refund.

05

Wrong Item or Size Received

If we made a mistake and you received the wrong item or the wrong size, contact us within 7 days of delivery with:

  • Your order number
  • Photos of the item you received
  • A photo of the size label or tag

Once verified, we’ll send the correct item at no additional cost. This applies only to fulfilment errors on our side — see Section 02 for our policy on self-selected sizing.

06

Restocking Fee

In select cases outside of damage, you may be approved for a refund on a non-damaged item at our discretion. Where this applies, a restocking fee of 7.99% of the order value is deducted from the refund to cover handling, quality inspection, and restocking costs.

Note This fee is separate from, and in addition to, any non-refundable shipping charges outlined in Section 09.
07

Exchanges

We don’t currently offer direct one-for-one exchanges. If you’d like a different size or item, the fastest route is:

  1. Follow the refund process for your qualifying item (see Sections 03–05).
  2. Place a new order for the size or item you actually want.

This keeps your replacement moving without waiting on a physical swap to clear processing first.

08

Non-Refundable Items

Outside of damaged products, missing items, or fulfilment errors, all sales are final. Specifically, we do not accept returns or refunds for:

  • Items that don’t fit as expected — please review our size guide carefully before ordering
  • Change of mind after purchase
  • Items that have been worn, washed, or used
  • Orders where the customer selected the wrong size at checkout
Choose Carefully Once an order is placed and a size selected, we’re unable to offer a refund on the basis of fit alone. We’re always happy to help you size correctly before you order — just ask.
09

Return Shipping Responsibility

For approved returns, the following charges are the customer’s responsibility and are non-refundable:

  • Return postage to ship the item back to us
  • Original outbound shipping charges
  • Any customs fees or import taxes paid on the original shipment

When packaging a return, please include a note with your name, order ID, and reason for return, and make sure the item is unworn, unwashed, and in its original condition.
