    Repairs
    Following purchase and receipt of goods, occasionally during everyday wear, a garment may unintentionally snag and a small hole appear, requiring a repair. We will do this repair for you free of charge, provided it is a reasonable request (not severely worn, soiled or damaged items) and is technically possible to do it. Due to the nature of knitwear’s fine construction, we are unable to create invisible repairs, but will do our best to achieve a good finish and hopefully extend the life of your garment for many more years.

    You will need to send your garment to us, paying for your own shipping costs, together with a brief note of the problem. We recommend that you ship your garment by a secure trackable method such as a ‘signed for’ registered post. We recommend you always retain proof of postage. We are not liable for any goods you ship that go missing in the post.

    For international customers please remember to complete all shipping paperwork as required by the courier / customs, marking the shipment ‘Repairs’ and declaring the value of the goods. This will help avoid delays to the shipment and the goods being subject to customs duty, as we are not responsible to pay these charges and the shipment may be returned to you.

    All repairs must be sent to;

    Repairs Department,
    Tolaga Bay Cashmere
    31 Solander St,
