Do you offer a gift wrap service?
No, we do not currently offer a gift wrap service.
Do you have any retail outlets?
Not at present. Currently, we are an online e-commerce business only.
Are your clothes ethically prooduced?
We work closely with family-run factories in Turkey and Portugal and take great efforts to ensure the fabrics we use are of the highest quality, and produced using sustainable practices. You can read more about our ethics here.
Why doesn't Kettlewell offer more discoounts?
As a small, family-run business, we do not offer discount codes very often. If we were to make discount codes more publicly available we would have to build this into our pricing structure, which would have a knock-on effect on our prices during non-discount periods. Discount codes may only be used against full priced items.
Why do you not make petite or plus-size clothing?
At present our most-shopped styles at Kettlewell are Medium and Large, and we have only limited space in our warehouse to accommodate our extensive colour choice in our existing XS-XL size range. However, we are looking at ways in which we can accommodate the demand in future.
Why have there been price increases in some of your existing styles?>span style="float:right;">
Unfortunately, increases in the cost of cotton, high freight charges and higher labour costs mean that we have had to take the difficult decision to increase the price of a few of our basic styles. These increases are necessary to allow us to continue producing high-quality items using responsible production practices.

We aim to process your return within seven days of receipt; however, in very busy periods this can take up to 14 days. Please be aware though, that your bank may take a further 7 days to show the transaction in your account, therefore we ask that you allow 21 days from the date we receive your return for the refund to appear.
STOCK
How can I check if an item is in stock?
Select the colour and size you would like to order on the product page. If either size or colour is unavailable, a cross will show. If the item is available for pre-ordering, a message showing the expected delivery date will show above the ‘add to basket’ button. Alternatively, call our Customer Service Team on (+44) 01460 279800.
Can I back-order a sold out item?
Only if we are expecting further supplies. Please note: International customers (non-UK/US) cannot place back orders. Items that are not in stock yet will show as 'out of stock' until the physical stock is available.
Why can you not guarantee an item is in stock if it is showing there are 1-2 in stock?
Although we do regular stock-takes and the level should be accurate, there is occasionally a small discrepancy. Human errors are sadly unavoidable in this area. We feel that it is important to warn customers about this at this stage rather than a few of them being disappointed later on.
How long will stock stay in my shopping basket?
The stock that you add to your shopping basket will be reserved for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes your basket will expire and the items will be made available for other people to buy.
Why is a product in the catalogue if it is sold out?
We have a team of staff dedicated to trying to predict sales and how much we should order of a particular product but sometimes we do get caught out if an item proves more popular than expected. In addition, as everything is made exclusively for us, it can take some time to get a repeat delivery.
Why do international prices seem more expensive?
From December 2021, we have been working with our logistics partner Global-e to send international parcels (excluding the US). International prices now include VAT, customs and clearance charges and DHL Express shipping, and orders are typically delivered within 1-3 working days. We have had to increase our international prices to reflect the commission we are charged by Globe-e to facilitate this fast and hassle-free service for our customers.
