Frequently Asked Questions
-
UK orders are sent second class signed for with Royal Mail unless specifically chosen and paid for Special Delivery [which is only applicable for ready to ship items].
For next day delivery please email el@elbras.co.uk with your desired product with ‘Special Delivery’ in the title to make sure we are in the studio before purchasing.
We are currently unable to ship to Europe because of new packaging laws making it incredibly hard '[and expensive] to send to countries within the EU. If there are any shops in the EU that would like to do an El Bras pop up please contact me directly.
We are still sending to the US and Canada - the import taxes will be added to your bill at checkout.
Parcels are sent with online tracking therefore it is essential you provide us with the correct information. We do not take responsibility if the wrong information is provided.
If you order multiple pieces your parcel will be sent when it is all ready. Most items are made to order so this can sometimes take some time but we will always strive to make it within a month.
El Domoney does not take responsibility for any lost or missing parcels once the item has been dispatched and the tracking provided.
In the event of something going missing please do still reach out and we can both file a missing parcel to Royal Mail together.
We cannot refund for lost parcels - this would be Royal Mail’s responsibility.
-
We cannot offer refunds on full price items, but we do accept a size exchange or store credit if sent back in it’s original packaging and condition within 14 days.
In the rare case that the item is faulty or damaged we can refund. Please be considerate that these items are made to order by hand, with love, so if it is able to be mended we strive to do so. Please also consider that it is our mission to use dead stock and up-cycled materials so items may vary a small bit from what is pictured on the website.
EXCHANGE PROCESS
To exchange an item please email el@elbras.co.uk with your order number and desired replacement - whether it is a size exchange or store credit.
It is your responsibility to then pay for shipping back to us. We cannot take responsibility if it gets lost either. You can do so however you like but we recommend Royal Mail tracked - online it is £3.80 to this address: ELINOR DOMONEY / EL BRAS, SET - CAMELFORD HOUSE, 89 ALBERT EMBANKMENT, SE1 7TP, LONDON UK
Once the item has arrived safely back to us, we will check it for any signs of wearing or washing beyond just trying it on. We will then generate a code for you to use online or in person at a market or pop up. There will be a £10 handling fee applied. If the item comes back damaged or with signs of wear we will not refund the item.

YES! We know the feeling of being type B and suddenly the birthday or the event or a last minute DATE springs up and we have nothing to wear. Email us with your item, size, date needed and address and we will let you know if that’s possible.
We charge a 20% surcharge fee on top of the price of the item and a Special Delivery fee which is £11 [for UK] minimum [dependant on size and weight of the item.
-
As each item is made to order unless specifically stated as ‘ready to ship’ lead time is usually 2-4 weeks. We aim for 2 but sometimes life happens or things get held up - this is the price we pay for ethically made clothes.
If you would like to fast track your el bras order please see above ^

Each item listed will have washing instructions in the bio but most of the el bras items should be hand washed in warm soup water and hung to dry either on a line or on a radiator.
Hand washed clothes last longer and do less damage to the planet.
I find my Sunday hand washing routine has become somewhat of a ritual.
