Please include your order number and the item(s) you wish to return.
Once your return has been approved, we will provide the return instructions and return address.

RETURN CONDITIONS
For standard change-of-mind returns, items must be:
- Unworn
- Unwashed
- Unused
- In original, resalable condition
- Returned with original tags attached
- Free from stains, marks or damage
- Free from strong fragrances, perfume or deodorant

Items should only be tried on carefully to establish their size, fit and characteristics.
All returns are inspected once received.
Items that have been worn, washed, damaged, altered or handled beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect them may not be eligible for our voluntary change-of-mind returns policy, where permitted by law.
This does not affect your statutory consumer rights.
RETURN POSTAGE
For standard UK and international change-of-mind returns, return postage is the customer's responsibility, unless otherwise stated or required by applicable law.
We do not currently offer free returns unless specifically stated at the time of purchase.
We recommend using a tracked return service and keeping your proof of postage until your return has been processed.
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
International customers may return eligible items within the 30-day returns period.
Customers are responsible for return postage and any applicable return-related costs unless otherwise stated or required by law.
International returns must follow the instructions provided by Lost Culture and must be correctly declared through customs.
Customers may be responsible for reasonable costs resulting from incorrect customs declarations or failure to follow return instructions, where permitted by law.
DUTIES & TAXES
International orders may be subject to import duties, taxes, brokerage fees or other charges imposed by the destination country.
Unless otherwise stated at checkout, these charges are the customer's responsibility.
Lost Culture does not control the amount of duties, taxes or customs charges imposed by individual countries.
If an international order is refused or returned because of unpaid duties, an incorrect address or another customer-related reason, reasonable costs incurred by Lost Culture may be deducted from any refund where permitted by law.
FAULTY, DAMAGED OR INCORRECT ITEMS
If your order arrives faulty, damaged or incorrect, please contact us at:
Please provide your order number and photographs where appropriate.
Do not return the item before contacting us.
If the issue is confirmed to be our responsibility, we will provide an appropriate remedy in accordance with applicable consumer law.
EXCHANGES
We do not currently offer direct exchanges.
If you require a different size or product, please return your original item and place a new order.
Stock and pricing are subject to availability at the time of the new order.
For help choosing your size, please refer to our Size Guide or contact Client Care before placing your order.
SALE, ARCHIVE & SAMPLE ITEMS
Sale items remain subject to applicable consumer rights and may be returned unless specifically stated otherwise before purchase.
Archive & Sample products may have individual return conditions depending on their nature, condition or production history.
Any product-specific return restriction or condition will be clearly stated on the relevant product page before purchase.
CUSTOM & HYGIENE-SENSITIVE ITEMS
Personalised, customised or made-to-order products may not be eligible for change-of-mind returns where permitted by law.
Certain hygiene-sensitive products, such as underwear or socks, may not be eligible for return once opened or used where permitted by law.
Any applicable exclusions will be clearly communicated before purchase.
PROMOTIONS & FREE GIFTS
Where an order includes a free gift, promotional product or conditional discount, the relevant promotional terms may require promotional items to be returned with the order.
Where permitted by law, the value of promotional items or discounts may be taken into account when calculating a refund.
REFUNDS
Once your return has been received and inspected, approved refunds will normally be issued to the original payment method.
We aim to process approved returns within 10 business days of receiving the returned item.
Your bank or payment provider may require additional time to make the funds available.
Where applicable law requires a refund sooner, we will comply with those requirements.
Store credit may be offered as an alternative for eligible voluntary returns.
UK & EU CONSUMER RIGHTS
Nothing in this policy removes or restricts your statutory consumer rights.
UK customers purchasing online generally have a 14-day statutory cancellation period, followed by a further period to return the goods.
Eligible EU consumers generally have a 14-day statutory right of withdrawal for online purchases.
Where applicable, statutory refunds, delivery charges and return rights will be handled in accordance with the relevant law.
Our 30-day returns period provides an additional commercial returns period for eligible items.
