FAQS

Our staff are on hand during work hours to resolve any query you may have. Meanwhile we hope this list of FAQs might be helpful.

Do you have a physical shop I can visit?

Sadly not. We had to close our boutique in August/September 2021. You can read more about our closure here. We are however still online and we hope to hold pop-up events. Sign up to our newsletter here to make sure you don't miss them. 

What sizes do you stock?

Currently we stock UK 8-18 as standard but in some garments we are able to stock UK 6-28. You can read more about the sizes we stock and why in Rowenas blog here.

We are working hard to expand our size range, read about our first plus size consultation here, so please do keep an eye out for updates and as always we welcome any and all feedback. Contact Us

Do you Ship internationally? 

We ship everywhere and anywhere. At checkout you will have postage options of Royal Mail (who will take care of your package in the UK and then hand it over to your local delivery service) and our chosen courier DHL. 

I reside outside of the UK, can I shop VAT/Tax free?

Yes you can providing your location at time of purchase and your shipping address are both outside of the UK. Please note that you might need to pay VAT/Tax and/or duty at point of entry to your country. You are responsible for these costs. 

Can I shop in American dollars/Euros?

Yes and it will still be VAT/TAX free. If you are using a desktop you will find the currency menu by clicking GBP at the top right of your screen. If you are using a mobile click the three lines in the top left, click GBP at the bottom of the menu and then select USD or EUR.

How do you take your coffee?

Thanks for asking, we'll have a flat white no sugar please! We're coffee mad here and always make a point to support independent coffee shops locally. We take a keen interest in whose coffee beans they use and like to get to know our baristas. If you're visiting London or Glasgow please don't hesitate to ask us for recommendations.

Do you have a great wardrobe?

Yes. We love our job! Rowena the owner knows what she likes and when she finds something that works really well for her she will often have duplicates of the same thing and every colour option available, a policy she recommends to her customers. Lottie loves skirts, dresses and cardigans that she can mix and match with her true vintage pieces.
