STORE CREDIT

STORE CREDIT

Credit can be issued or adjusted directly from your profile and may include an expiration date. It cannot be withdrawn or converted into cash and is valid exclusively for purchases on our website.

In the case of returns, refunds may be issued as store credit instead of the original payment method. If a refund is processed incorrectly, the balance will be adjusted before issuing a new refund.

Store credit is visible at checkout only when signed in. If not logged in, the balance will not appear.

Made-To-Order

Timings, Payment & Cancellations

Timings
Production timelines vary according to the piece and are specified on each product page. Once production is complete, the order is prepared for dispatch in approximately 2 additional business days.

Payment
Full payment is required at checkout. This confirms the order and initiates production. Shipping fees, duties and taxes are calculated and shown at checkout.

Cancellations
Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund or store credit. As each piece is made to order, production may begin shortly after purchase. After this period, cancellations are not guaranteed and may be accepted at our discretion.

Returns

Made-to-Order pieces are produced upon request and follow a dedicated crafting process.

Accordingly:

  • orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase;
  • after 24 hours, production begins and the piece enters the atelier process.
  • Made-to-Order pieces in standard sizes may be returned within 14 days of delivery, provided they are unworn, unused and in their original condition, with all original tags attached. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method.

For personalised fit needs, clients may choose the Made-to-Measure option or a fully bespoke creation through our Bespoke Service.

MADE TO MEASURE

TIMINGS, MEASUREMENTS & PAYMENT

Service
Made to Measure is available upon request for selected pieces.
This service allows the garment to be adjusted to the client’s personal measurements while maintaining the original design, silhouette and construction of the piece.

Measurements
After the order is placed, our team may request additional measurements to refine the fit. Production begins once all required measurements have been received and confirmed.

Timings
Production timelines vary according to the design, the measurements required and the fitting process. The estimated timeframe will be confirmed before production begins.

Payment and Cancellations

Full payment is required before production begins. Made-to-Measure orders may be cancelled only before production begins. Once production has commenced, the order becomes non-cancellable and non-refundable, unless the item is faulty.

RETURNS

Returns
As Made-to-Measure pieces are produced according to the client’s measurements and specifications, they are not eligible for return, exchange or withdrawal once production has commenced, unless the item is faulty.

Bespoke Service Policy

A|LOUD Bespoke Service

A|LOUD Bespoke is a fully individual process developed around the client’s measurements, requirements and intended occasion. Design, materials, construction and fittings are defined through direct consultation with our team.

Initial Consultation

Your bespoke experience begins with a private consultation, offered without commitment. During this meeting, we explore your ideas and provide a preliminary cost estimate.

Deposit

To proceed with our exclusive service, a non-refundable deposit of $200 is required, covering the design and presentation of custom options. This deposit will be deducted from your final balance should you choose to continue.

Quotation and Payments

Once the design has been confirmed, a detailed quotation and payment schedule will be provided. Complimentary worldwide shipping is included. Any applicable duties and taxes will be confirmed before payment.

Full payment must be completed according to the agreed terms before production begins.

Non-Refundable Policy

As each Bespoke piece is created according to the client’s measurements, specifications and approved design requirements, all Bespoke orders are final and non-refundable once production has commenced. However, your satisfaction is our priority, and we are always happy to make necessary adjustments to ensure your garment reflects your vision in every detail.

Returns or Exchange

Due to the Bespoke nature of the service, each piece is created according to the client’s measurements, specifications and approved design requirements. As a result, Bespoke orders are not eligible for return, exchange or withdrawal.
