Refund policy

Last updated: 25th October 2026

At Gayara, we want you to love every purchase. If something isn't quite right, we're here to help with a simple exchange and return process.

  1. Message us within 2 days of delivery.
  2. Send it back or drop it off within 7 days of delivery.
  3. Free drop-off at any Lionco showroom.

For damaged, faulty or wrong items, please tell us within 2 days of delivery (see below).

Returns and exchanges

To be accepted, the item must:

  • be unused, unwashed and unworn;
  • have all original tags and packaging;
  • be free from stains, perfume, deodorant marks, makeup, pet hair or any damage;
  • come with proof of purchase (your order number or receipt).

We offer exchanges for:

  • a different size;
  • a different colour (if available);
  • items that arrived damaged or faulty.

If the size or colour you want is not available, you can choose:

  • a refund, or
  • a different item: tell us which item you want and we will place a new order for you, already marked as paid with the value of your return. If the new item costs more, you pay the difference. If it costs less, we refund the difference.

How to return or exchange:

  1. Contact us within 2 days of receiving your order. Share your order number and the reason for the return or exchange.
  2. We will reply with instructions.
  3. Send the item back by courier, or drop it off at one of our listed Lionco showrooms, within 7 days of receiving your order.
  4. Once we receive and check the item, we will process your exchange or refund.

Returning at a Lionco showroom: you can drop off your return in person at one of our listed Lionco showrooms, free of charge. Please contact us first, and bring your order number with the item. Lionco showrooms do not accept returns sent by courier.
