RETURNS & EXCHANGES
Last updated: September 2026
Every piece from With Ardour is individually cut, shaped, and hand-finished to order in London using carefully selected leathers. Because our pieces are custom-made specifically for you and your device model, please review our policy below before purchasing or initiating a return.
1. Made-to-Order & Custom Items
Because each phone case and bespoke leather piece is made to order according to your chosen design and device model, they are non-returnable and non-exchangeable under UK consumer contracts regulations for:
  • Change of mind after ordering.
  • Selection of an incorrect phone model, colourway, or finish at checkout.
  • Natural organic variations in the leather, including unique grain texture, distinctive markings, spot placement, or tonal depth.
  • Natural wear, scuffing, stretching, or patina developed through daily handling and exposure to hand oils, cosmetics, friction, moisture, or sunlight.
Natural leathers carry organic textures and variations. These subtle nuances are deliberate marks of hand-finished natural materials, not faults.
2. Standard Returns (Ready-to-Ship Items)
For non-customized, ready-to-ship pieces (or where a return has been explicitly authorized):
  • Contact us at withardourlondon@gmail.com within 14 days of delivery.
  • Items must be returned in pristine, unused, and resaleable condition, complete with all original packaging.
  • Items showing signs of wear, surface marks, scuffs, or stretching will not be accepted.
