GUARANTEE & AFTERSALES

Lady Saddler reserves the right to repair, replace or refund at her discretion.
With each item being handmade to order, a refund will not be accepted due to a change in mind or a lack of care.
Should your item require repair or refurbishment throughout its life, Lady Saddler will undertake the work for a modest fee. In these circumstances, all postage costs remain with you, the customer. Your guarantee is your proof of purchase (your invoice, receipt or similar), please keep them in a safe place.
Please pay careful attention to the care instructions that can be found on this Website and/or within the packaging of your purchase. Leather, in particular, needs to be cared for properly in order to extend the longevity of your product(s).

Items must be returned in their original condition, unused and in a clean (although not cleaned) state with all original labels attached, packaging and proof of purchase to be included within 14 days of receipt. If the goods do not reach us in this condition then your right to a full refund may be affected.
When retuning an item, it is recommended that you use a tracked, signed and insured service to ensure it does not get lost or damaged in the post. Items remain your responsibility until they reach the Lady Saddler.
Return postage costs will not be refunded unless the item is found to be faulty, therefore the cost of returning the goods will be at your own expense. This does not affect your statutory rights.
