Refund policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

We want your Living Threads order to feel right. You can request a return or exchange within 7 calendar days of delivery, subject to the conditions below.

Return eligibility

For a size, fit, or change-of-mind return, the item must be unworn, unwashed, unused, and in its original condition, with any original tags and packaging. Trying on an item indoors to check the fit is fine. Keep your order confirmation as proof of purchase.

Items made with your own personalised text or artwork, and items clearly identified as final sale before purchase, are excluded from change-of-mind returns. This does not exclude remedies for a defect, damage, an incorrect item, or goods that do not match their description.

How to request a return

  1. Email livingthreadsofficial@gmail.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number, item name, reason, and whether you prefer a refund or exchange.
  2. For damage, a defect, or an incorrect item, include clear photographs of the issue and shipping label. An unboxing video is helpful if available, but is not a mandatory condition for raising a concern.
  3. We will review your request and send return approval, the correct return address, and pickup or self-shipping instructions. Please do not send a parcel without instructions.
  4. Unless we arrange the pickup, dispatch the approved return within 7 calendar days of receiving the instructions and retain your courier receipt and tracking number.

Who pays return shipping?

  • Damaged, defective, or incorrect items: we cover reasonable return and replacement shipping costs for a verified issue and offer an appropriate replacement or refund.
  • Size, fit, or change of mind: you cover return shipping and, for an exchange, replacement delivery. Any arranged pickup or replacement charge will be quoted for your agreement first.
  • We do not charge a restocking fee. Optional delivery or COD fees already used are not refunded for a change-of-mind return; this does not apply where a refund of those charges is required because of an issue with your order.

Exchanges

Exchanges depend on availability. Once the return is received and checked, we will confirm the replacement. If your requested size or item is unavailable, you may choose an available alternative with any price difference explained, or an eligible refund. Please use the Size & Fit Guide before ordering.

Refunds

After receiving and inspecting an approved return, we will email the outcome. We aim to initiate an approved refund within 5–7 business days. Prepaid refunds go to the original payment method; your payment provider may need a further 2–7 business days to post the amount.

For COD refunds, we will agree a bank transfer or UPI refund with you through our support email. We will never ask for a PIN, OTP, card password, or a payment to release your refund. Store credit is offered only if you choose it.

Damage, delays, and other concerns

Please report delivery damage or an incorrect item as soon as you notice it so we can help promptly. Ordinary wear, damage caused after delivery, and damage from care contrary to the garment label are not manufacturing defects. If you discover a genuine defect after the 7-day request window, contact us so we can assess the issue and any applicable rights.

For cancellations or delivery problems, see Shipping & Delivery. This policy does not limit your rights under applicable Indian consumer law, including rights relating to defective, misdescribed, or undelivered goods.
