Garment care


To ensure we can accept your return, your garment must be returned in the same condition in which it left our atelier. The garment must be:

· Unworn and unwashed.

· Returned with all original tags attached, including the security seal.

· Returned in its original packaging.

· Free from any odours not inherent to the product, such as perfume, cosmetics or tobacco.

· Free from stains or any signs of wear.


Please take particular care not to remove or damage the security seal. It has been specially designed to show visible signs of tampering if removed and forms an essential part of our quality control process.

Important


Garments returned without the original security seal, or with a tag that has been removed or tampered with, cannot be accepted under any circumstances, regardless of the condition of the garment. In these cases, no refund or exchange will be issued.

The only exception applies where a manufacturing defect has been confirmed. In such cases, the return or exchange will be accepted even if the security tag is no longer attached.


Accessories


If your garment includes accessories such as a belt, belt pouch, brooch or any other complementary item, we kindly ask that these are returned together with the garment. If any accessory is missing, we may still accept the return; however, the value of the missing component will be deducted from your refund.


Returns for manufacturing defects or incorrect items


If you believe your garment has a manufacturing defect or that your order has been affected by an error on our part, please follow the steps below:

1. Contact us with a description of the issue and include clear photographs showing the problem. We are unable to begin our assessment without this documentation.

2. Once your request has been received, it will be reviewed by our Quality Department. A final decision can only be made after the garment has been physically inspected at our facilities.

3. From the moment the garment arrives at our logistics centre, every stage of the inspection process is recorded to ensure complete traceability.

4. Following our assessment, we will provide the most appropriate solution, whether that is a replacement, repair or full refund.


Return shipping costs


To make the process as simple as possible, we provide a prepaid return shipping label. The contribution towards return shipping costs depends on the country from which the return is made and will be deducted from your refund.

Spain 4,90 €
Rest of Europe (including Switzerland and the United Kingdom 9,90 €
United States & Canada $13,90
Rest of the World 14,90 €

Refunds


Once your return has been received at our logistics centre and confirmed to meet the conditions outlined above, your refund will be processed.

The full purchase amount will be refunded to the original payment method within a maximum of 14 calendar days.

For hygiene or personalisation reasons, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges of the following items under any circumstances:

· Swimwear and lingerie: These items cannot be returned or exchanged for hygiene reasons, regardless of their condition or whether the hygiene seal remains intact.

· Earrings: Due to hygiene regulations relating to pierced jewellery, earrings cannot be returned or exchanged.

· Made-to-measure or personalised garments: Items made to your specifications or customised in any way are not eligible for return or exchange.

If, after inspection at our logistics centre, your return does not meet the conditions outlined above, we will contact you to explain the reason and provide the relevant supporting documentation.

Returns cannot be accepted if the contents of the parcel do not correspond to the original item shipped, or if the garment shows signs of tampering, substitution or any other irregularity. Should this occur, we will notify you and provide the appropriate documentation.

The garment will remain your property. If you would like it to be returned to you, you may arrange collection from our logistics centre using a courier of your choice, or we can organise the shipment on your behalf, subject to the applicable shipping charges.

Please let us know how you wish to proceed within 15 calendar days of receiving our notification. After this period, we cannot guarantee that the garment will be retained.



Fraudulent or abusive use


Charo Ruiz reserves the right to take appropriate action where there are reasonable grounds to suspect fraudulent or abusive activity, including, but not limited to:

· Wearing garments before returning them.

· Removing or tampering with security tags.

· Repeatedly placing orders with the intention of systematically returning them.

· Providing false payment or identity information.

· Creating multiple customer accounts associated with the same individual, regardless of the details used during registration.



Where fraudulent or abusive activity is identified:

· Returns may be refused. We will contact you to explain the reasons for our decision and provide the relevant supporting documentation.

· Orders may be placed on hold or cancelled before dispatch. If payment has already been processed, a full refund will be issued.

· Customer accounts may be temporarily suspended or permanently closed. You will be notified of our decision by email.

Charo Ruiz also reserves the right to pursue any legal action deemed appropriate in the most serious cases.

Every garment is individually inspected at our logistics centre in Badalona before being dispatched.

To ensure complete traceability, our packing, preparation and returns inspection processes are recorded by our video surveillance system in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 on Data Protection.

This process helps us ensure that every Charo Ruiz piece reaches its new owner with the same care and attention with which it was created.
