Returns Policy

Last updated: August 2026

NØWN is a marketplace. Each product is sold directly by an independent brand. Returns are handled directly between you and the brand you purchased from — you can message them directly through your order page.

Your Right to Return

Under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel most online orders within 14 days of receiving your item, without giving a reason.

Once you've notified the brand of your intention to return, you have a further 14 days to send the item back.

How to Return an Item

01
Message the brand

Go to your order in your account and use the messaging feature to contact the brand directly. Let them know you'd like to return your item and why.

02
Get return instructions

The brand will respond with their return address and any specific instructions. They must respond within 5 business days.

03
Send the item back

Package the item securely and send it back within 14 days of notifying the brand. Keep your proof of postage.

04
Receive your refund

Once the brand confirms receipt of the return, your refund will be processed within 14 days back to your original payment method.

Conditions for Returns

To be eligible for a return, your item must be:

  • Returned within 14 days of notifying the brand
  • Unworn and unwashed
  • In its original condition with all tags attached
  • In its original packaging where possible

Who Pays for Return Postage

  • Change of mind returns — the customer pays return postage
  • Faulty or incorrect items — the brand pays return postage

Non-Returnable Items

The following items cannot be returned:

  • Custom or personalised items made to your specification
  • Items that have been worn, washed or damaged after delivery
  • Items returned outside the 14-day window without prior agreement from the brand
  • Underwear or swimwear for hygiene reasons

Faulty or Incorrect Items

If you receive an item that is faulty, damaged, or not as described, you are entitled to a full refund or replacement regardless of the return window. Message the brand directly through your order page with photos of the issue.

If a Brand Doesn't Respond

If a brand fails to respond to your return request within 5 business days, contact us at info@nown.uk and we'll step in to resolve it. Brands that repeatedly fail to handle returns properly will be removed from the platform.

Refunds

Refunds are processed by the brand back to your original payment method. Once approved, please allow up to 14 days for the refund to appear, depending on your bank or card provider.
