RETURNS & EXCHANGES

For further assistance, please contact our Customer Care team at help@marame.com. We aim to respond within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
  • Return Eligibility

    To be accepted, items must be:
    • Submitted on our portal within 14 days of receiving your order
    • Received within 7 days of submission
    • Unworn, unwashed, unaltered, and in original condition
    • Free from makeup, odours, deodorant marks, or damage
    • With all original tags attached
    Items that fail inspection will not be eligible for refund or exchange.
  • Store Credit

    If you choose, or are issued - store credit (e.g. when an exchange item is unavailable, or you prefer credit over a refund), the following applies:
    • Store credit is stored on your customer account and can be used at checkout for any future purchase on the MARAME store (online, or via our Shopify-powered checkout). 
    • Store credit is valid for 12 months from the date it is issued. After 12 months, any unused balance expires and cannot be redeemed.
    • Store credit cannot be transferred or redeemed at any other store, it is valid only at MARAME. 
    • If you use part of your store credit during checkout and there’s any remaining balance, that remaining balance continues to apply and will still expire 12 months from the original issue date.
    We encourage you to use your store credit within the 12-month period to avoid losing it.
  • Exchanges

    We offer free exchanges for:
    • The same item in a different size
    Exchanges are only processed once your return has been received and approved at our warehouse.
    Stock Availability Disclaimer
    Because our stock levels change frequently, we cannot guarantee that your requested exchange item will still be available when your return arrives.
    We are also unable to reserve stock in advance, as not all return requests submitted through the portal are actually received.
    If your requested exchange item is unavailable at the time of processing, we will contact you.
    Exchange Limit, Maximum of 2 Per Order
    To keep our returns process fair and manageable, we allow a maximum of two exchanges per order.
    If, after two exchanges, the item is still not suitable or you no longer wish to keep it, a store credit will be issued.
    A refund is not available after the second exchange.
    No Refund Fee on Exchanges
    Because exchanges result in an active order, no £5 refund fee applies, and we ship the replacement item to you free of charge.
  • Refunds

    Once your return is inspected and approved, we’ll process your refund to your original payment method.
    Refund Fee – £5
    A flat £5 refund fee is deducted from your refund amount. This fee covers the cost of the outbound postage we subsidise.
    When a product is returned for a refund, no purchase has ultimately taken place, so the cost of shipping the item to you has to be covered somewhere.
    Why We Don’t Charge This on Exchanges or Store Credit
    For exchanges or store credit, your order value remains with us, meaning we can absorb the outbound shipping cost.
    This is why exchanges and store credit are free, while refunds include the £5 fee.
    What We Refund
    ✔ Full value of returned items
    ✘ Original shipping fees (for all orders, including international)
    ✘ Duties, taxes, or return postage for areas not covered by DPD
    ✘ The £5 refund fee (deducted automatically)
    Please allow up to 10 working days for the refund to appear in your account.
  • How to Start a Return

    All returns must be submitted through our Returns Portal. This ensures your return is logged, tracked, and processed smoothly.
    Once submitted, you’ll be able to choose between:
    1. Paperless Return (QR Code)
