If for any reason you are not satisfied with your new purchase, Flavia Valentini accepts returns or exchanges of any item (excluding sale items) within 14 days of the delivery date for a refund. (Article 52 of the Consumer Code, within 14 (fourteen) calendar days from the day on which the Customer or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the Customer acquires physical possession of the goods.)
If you return items outside the return period, you will no longer be entitled to a refund and a credit note will be issued instead.
Items must be returned in their original condition and packaging, unworn and unwashed, with all tags and hygiene strips intact. For hygiene reasons, we ask that you wear underwear when trying on swimsuits.
We cannot accept returns that do not meet the above requirements. Please also note that products that do not comply with the return policy will be returned to the customer at their expense, as they cannot be resold.
It is essential for all returns that the customer obtain proof of shipment with a tracking number to ensure a refund. We are not responsible for unreturned products.
