Returns + Exchanges

Refunds - available up to 14 days from receipt of goods, and only if item is damaged or faulty. Postage charges will be the responsibility of Done by Matea. No refunds are available on sale items, or “made-to-order” items.

Exchanges - available up to 14 days from receipt of goods, if the item is in its original unused condition. Postage charges are the responsibility of the buyer.


Please note all items in the Done by Matea range are individually handmade and therefore may have minor inconsistencies in colour and/or finish. Such inconsistencies will not be considered “faults”. Many items are constructed from reused materials, as noted in their item description, and as such consideration should be given to the unique finish and variations that this produces in the end product. Done by Matea endeavours to sell all items in the best possible condition, but small marks may be visible; materials such as leather will have natural inconsistencies and marks, these will not be deemed reason for a refund.

The colour of products is reproduced as accurately as possible. However all computer screens display colour differently, so minor colour variations will not be deemed a reason for a refund.


How To Return an Item For Exchange or Refund
If you have an issue with an item, please send an email to donebymatea@gmail.com, within 14 days of receiving your order.
