Our Policy

Made for you.
Kept by you.

We don't accept returns — and here's exactly why, with no apology. But we do stand firmly behind every bag we make.

Our Return Policy

Returns are not accepted.

All Doreneglam products are final sale. Because every bag is handcrafted to order using your chosen colour, style, and specifications, we are unable to accept returns for change of mind, sizing preference, or any reason other than the exceptions listed below.

By placing an order with Doreneglam, you confirm that you have read and agreed to this policy. We strongly encourage you to contact us with any questions before purchasing — Dorene is always available to help you choose with confidence.

When we step up

Our guarantee to you

While we don't accept returns, we take full responsibility for our mistakes and our quality. These three situations are always covered.

Arrived damaged

If your bag arrives with physical damage caused during transit — tears, broken hardware, crushed structure — we will replace it at no cost to you.

Contact us within 48 hours with photos.

Defective craftsmanship

If a stitch comes undone, a zip fails, or hardware breaks under normal use within 6 months of purchase, we repair or replace. Every stitch is guaranteed.

Reach out and we'll make it right.

Wrong item received

If we sent the wrong colour, style, or size — that's entirely on us. We'll dispatch the correct item immediately and arrange collection of the wrong one.

Contact us and we'll sort it within 24hrs.

The honest reason

Why we don't do returns

🧶

Every bag is made for you

Each Doreneglam bag is handcrafted to order — your specific colours, your chosen style. Unlike mass-produced goods, your bag doesn't sit on a shelf waiting. It is made the moment you order it.

⏱️

8–20 hours of skilled labour

Accepting returns on a handmade item would mean discarding days of skilled artisan work. We believe that's both wasteful and unfair to the maker. We price honestly — and stand behind every piece.

🌿

Sustainability over convenience

Fast fashion returns contribute millions of tonnes of waste annually. Slow fashion means buying with intention. We ask our customers to choose thoughtfully — and we help them do that before purchase.

💬

We help you choose right

Before you order, you can message Dorene directly, request swatches, ask about sizing, or see the bag on video. We'd rather spend 10 minutes helping you choose the perfect bag than process a return.
