If SHIBORI INDIAN Is at Fault

If you receive:

  • The wrong product
  • A manufacturing-defective product
  • A damaged product attributable to transit or handling

SHIBORI INDIAN will bear the applicable return shipping cost and arrange a pickup where feasible.

If the Return Is Due to Customer Preference

For eligible returns due to reasons such as change of mind, preference, or incorrect fit, the customer may be responsible for the applicable return shipping charges, as communicated at the time of return approval.

Customers are advised to use a reliable, trackable courier service and retain proof of dispatch until the return is completed.

Quality Inspection

All returned products are subject to a quality inspection.

A return may be rejected if the product shows:

  • Signs of wear
  • Washing
  • Alteration
  • Stains
  • Makeup marks
  • Perfume or other strong odor
  • Missing tags
  • Damaged packaging
  • Missing accessories
  • Any other signs of use or damage caused after delivery

If a return fails our quality inspection, the product may be sent back to the customer at the customer's cost.

Exchanges

We offer exchanges on eligible products, subject to availability.

If the requested size, color, or product is available, we may process the exchange after receiving and inspecting the returned item.

If the requested replacement is unavailable, SHIBORI INDIAN may offer an alternative resolution such as store credit or a refund, subject to the applicable circumstances and policy.

Exchange requests caused by customer preference or size selection may be subject to applicable shipping charges.

Refunds

Refunds are processed only after the returned product has passed our quality inspection.

Prepaid Orders: Approved refunds will generally be issued to the original payment method used to place the order.

Cash-on-Delivery (COD) Orders: Approved refunds for COD orders will generally be processed through NEFT/IMPS or another applicable bank-transfer method to the bank details provided by the customer.

Customers may be required to provide accurate bank account information for processing the refund.

Refund Processing Time : Once the return has been received and approved after inspection, refunds will generally be processed within 5–7 business days.

The time taken for the refund to appear in your account may vary depending on your bank or payment provider.

Store Credit

Where applicable, if an exchange cannot be fulfilled, SHIBORI INDIAN may offer store credit instead of a refund.

Unless otherwise stated, store credit will be valid for 6 months from the date of issue.

Store credit cannot be exchanged for cash.

Sale Items & Promotional Orders

Products purchased during sales, promotions, or special offers may have different return or exchange conditions.

If a product is marked "Final Sale / Non-Returnable" at the time of purchase, it will not be eligible for return or exchange except in cases of verified manufacturing defects or incorrect fulfillment.

The applicable return conditions displayed on the product page or communicated at the time of purchase will apply.

Defective, Damaged or Incorrect ProductsShipping & Delivery

If you receive a defective, damaged, or incorrect product, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

Please provide:

  • Order ID
  • Clear photographs of the product
  • Clear photographs of the packaging
  • Unboxing video, where available/required
  • Description of the issue

After verification, we may provide an appropriate resolution, which may include:

  • Replacement

Where the issue is confirmed to be attributable to SHIBORI INDIAN, applicable return shipping costs will be borne by us.

Shipping charges depend on your location.

Cancellation Policy

Orders may be cancelled only if the cancellation request is received within 1 hour of placing the order and before the order enters processing, packing, or dispatch.

Once an order has entered processing, packing, customization, or dispatch, cancellation may no longer be possible.

If cancellation is approved for a prepaid order, the eligible refund will be processed to the original payment method.

International Orders

For international orders, customs duties, import taxes, local taxes, and other government charges are generally non-refundable.

If an international return is accepted, the customer may be responsible for applicable return shipping costs and customs formalities unless the return is due to an incorrect product or verified defect attributable to SHIBORI INDIAN.

Return Abuse & Fraud Prevention

SHIBORI INDIAN reserves the right to refuse a return, exchange, or refund if we reasonably suspect:

  • Fraudulent activity
  • Misuse of the return policy
  • Repeated excessive returns
  • Product tampering
  • False or misleading claims
  • Products being worn, altered, or damaged after delivery

Repeated misuse of the return policy may result in restrictions on future orders or returns.

Important Notes

  • Please check the size guide before placing your order.
  • Minor differences in color may occur due to lighting, photography, and individual screen settings and may not qualify as a defect.
  • Slight variations in fabric texture, print, or craftsmanship may occur due to the nature of certain Indian textiles and handcrafted processes.
  • Please keep your order packaging and invoice until you are completely satisfied with your purchase.
  • All return and exchange requests are subject to verification and quality inspection.
