5. Can I change or cancel my order?

We may be able to change or cancel your order if it has not yet entered processing, fulfilment, packaging, or shipment.

Please contact us as soon as possible at contact@valinara.com and include your order number and the requested change.

Although we will make reasonable efforts to assist you, changes and cancellations cannot be guaranteed once order preparation has started.

After dispatch, an order can no longer be modified or cancelled through the shipping process. An eligible return may still be requested in accordance with our Return & Refund Policy.

6. What is your return policy?

Valinara offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee on eligible purchases.

If you are not satisfied with your women’s blouse, you may request a return within 60 days of delivery, provided that the product meets the eligibility conditions described in our Return & Refund Policy.

Returned blouses should generally be unworn, unwashed, unaltered, free from stains, scents, or signs of use, and in their original condition, with any original labels, tags, accessories, or packaging included where applicable.

7. How do I request a return?

You may submit a return request through your customer account, where this option is available, or by contacting the Valinara customer support team.

Please email contact@valinara.com and provide:

Your full name.
Your order number.
The blouse or blouses you wish to return.
The reason for your return.
Photographs where the product is damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect.

Our support team will review your request and provide the applicable return instructions.

Please do not send products to our business address unless you have received clear return authorisation and instructions from Valinara.

8. Do European Union customers have a right of withdrawal?

Yes. Consumers residing within the European Union may have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal under applicable consumer protection legislation.

The withdrawal period generally begins on the day you, or a person nominated by you other than the carrier, receives the order.

This statutory right is separate from and additional to our voluntary 60-day satisfaction guarantee.

Legal exceptions may apply to certain products where permitted by applicable law.

9. How can I exercise my right of withdrawal?

Where available, you may submit an electronic withdrawal request by selecting the “Withdraw from Contract” option within your customer account or order details page.

After submitting the electronic request, you will receive an acknowledgement confirming that Valinara has received it.

You may also exercise your withdrawal right by emailing contact@valinara.com with:

Your full name.
Your order number.
The email address used for the order.
The blouse or blouses included in the withdrawal.
A clear statement confirming that you wish to withdraw from the purchase.

10. When will I receive my refund?

After your returned product has been received and inspected, Valinara will notify you whether the return has been approved.

If approved, the refund will be issued to the original payment method in accordance with our Return & Refund Policy and applicable consumer laws.

Eligible refunds under our voluntary return policy are generally processed within 5–10 business days after the returned product has been received and inspected.

Although we may process the refund promptly, your bank, card issuer, or payment provider may require additional business days to display the funds in your account.

11. What should I do if my blouse arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect?

If your order arrives damaged, contains a manufacturing defect, is incomplete, or includes the wrong product, please contact Valinara as soon as reasonably possible, preferably within 7 days of delivery.

Please email contact@valinara.com and include:

Your full name.
Your order number.
A clear description of the problem.
Photographs showing the complete blouse.
Close-up photographs clearly showing the affected area.
Photographs of the packaging or shipping label where relevant.

Depending on the circumstances, product availability, and applicable law, Valinara may offer:

A replacement product.
A partial refund.
A full refund.
Store credit.
A repair where appropriate.
Another fair and suitable solution.

12. Do you offer direct exchanges?

Valinara does not currently offer direct exchanges.

If you need a different size, colour, pattern, design, or blouse style, you may return the eligible original product for a refund and place a new order for your preferred item.

This process helps ensure that your preferred blouse is available and can be dispatched without waiting for the original return to be completed.

13. Which products cannot be returned?

Certain products may be excluded from returns where permitted by applicable law, including:

Personalised, customised, or made-to-order products.
Products that have been worn, washed, altered, stained, scented, damaged, or used beyond what is reasonably necessary for inspection.
Products showing signs of deodorant, perfume, cosmetics, body oils, pet hair, or other signs of use.
Products returned without required labels, tags, accessories, or packaging where their absence affects resale value.
Final-sale products where the exclusion is clearly stated and legally permitted.

A product is not automatically excluded from return simply because it is a women’s blouse. Any restriction will only apply where permitted by law and clearly communicated.

Statutory rights relating to defective, damaged, incorrect, or non-conforming products are not affected.

Please review our Return & Refund Policy for complete information about return eligibility and legal exceptions.

14. Does Valinara provide a warranty?

Yes. Eligible women’s blouses purchased directly from Valinara are covered by a 30-day quality assurance warranty beginning on the delivery date.

The warranty covers manufacturing-related defects such as:

Faulty stitching or defective seams.
Broken zippers, buttons, hooks, clasps, snaps, or other fasteners.
Fabric defects affecting the appearance, comfort, fit, durability, or function of the blouse.
Defective straps, sleeves, collars, cuffs, waistbands, pockets, linings, or elastic sections.
Manufacturing issues affecting trims, lace, embroidery, prints, piping, bows, decorative edges, or other design details.
Products that arrive with production-related damage.

The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, misuse, improper washing, unsuitable storage, alterations, incorrect sizing, or damage caused by external factors.

15. How do I submit a warranty claim?

To submit a warranty claim, contact contact@valinara.com within the applicable 30-day warranty period.

Please provide your order number, the name or description of the affected blouse, a detailed explanation of the issue, and clear photographs showing the complete item and the affected area.

We may also request a photograph of the care label, product label, packaging, or additional details where reasonably necessary.

Warranty claims are generally reviewed within 3–5 business days after all requested information has been received.

16. How do I choose the correct blouse size?

Please review the size information and measurements shown on the relevant product page before placing your order.

We recommend comparing the listed measurements with a blouse, shirt, or top that already fits you comfortably.

You may also measure your bust, waist, shoulders, and other relevant areas using a flexible measuring tape, depending on the design.

Please allow a possible difference of approximately 1–3 cm because products may be measured manually.

Fit may vary depending on the blouse design, fabric stretch, cut, sleeve style, neckline, waistband, buttons, and personal fit preference.

For products listed as One Size, please carefully review the recommended measurement range displayed on the product page before ordering.

17. What materials are Valinara blouses made from?

Materials vary depending on the design and style of each blouse.

Valinara women’s blouses may be made from fabrics or fabric blends such as:

Polyester.
Cotton.
Viscose.
Elastane or spandex.
Satin or satin-feel fabric.
Lace.
Mesh.
Chiffon.
Linen or linen blends.
Other soft, lightweight, or breathable textile blends.

Please review the Material or Product Details section on the individual product page for information about the specific blouse you are considering.

18. Is satin fabric made from real silk?

Not necessarily. Satin describes the smooth and glossy finish or weave of a fabric and does not automatically mean that the product is made from silk.

Many Valinara satin-style blouses may be made from polyester or blended fabrics designed to provide a smooth, elegant, and glossy satin-like finish.

Please review the individual product description for the exact material composition of the product.

19. How should I care for my blouse?

Always follow the care label attached to your blouse, as washing and care requirements may vary depending on the fabric and design.

General care recommendations include:

Wash with similar colours.
Use cold or lukewarm water.
Use a mild detergent suitable for the specific fabric.
Use a gentle machine cycle or hand wash delicate blouses.
Place satin, lace, mesh, embroidered, printed, or embellished blouses in a protective laundry bag.
Fasten buttons, hooks, and zippers before washing where appropriate.
Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, and strong stain-removal products.
Do not wring, twist, scrub, or overstretch delicate fabrics.
Air dry whenever possible.
Use a low-heat tumble setting only when permitted by the care label.
Iron or steam only at the recommended temperature.
Store blouses in a clean, cool, and dry place.

Damage caused by failure to follow the care instructions may not qualify for warranty coverage.

20. Can I machine wash satin or delicate blouses?

This depends on the care instructions attached to the specific product.

Where machine washing is permitted, we recommend using cold or lukewarm water, a gentle cycle, mild detergent, and a protective laundry bag.

Delicate satin, lace, mesh, chiffon, or embellished blouses may be better suited to careful hand washing.

Avoid high heat, harsh detergents, bleach, and rough washing cycles, as these may damage delicate fabric, elastic sections, trims, or glossy finishes.

21. Can Valinara blouses be worn for different occasions?

Yes. Many Valinara blouses are designed to be versatile and suitable for a variety of occasions.

Depending on the style, a blouse can be paired with trousers, jeans, skirts, shorts, or other wardrobe essentials for work, casual outings, dinners, social occasions, travel, or everyday wear.

Please review the individual product description to understand the design, fabric, fit, and styling characteristics of each blouse.

22. Where does Valinara ship?

Valinara currently ships to many European countries and selected international destinations, including Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and South Africa.

The available shipping destinations and delivery options will be displayed during checkout.

23. Will I need to pay customs duties or import taxes?

International orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, handling charges, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by the destination country.

Unless clearly stated otherwise during checkout, these charges are determined by local authorities and remain the customer’s responsibility.

Valinara does not control these charges and cannot reliably predict their amount.

24. What happens if my order is delivered in separate parcels?

An order containing multiple products may occasionally be divided into separate shipments because of warehouse availability, package size, product location, or logistical requirements.

Separate parcels may have different tracking numbers and may arrive on different dates.

You will not be charged additional standard shipping fees solely because Valinara divides your order into multiple shipments.

25. What should I do if my refund is delayed?

After Valinara processes a refund, your bank, card issuer, or payment provider may need several business days to post the funds to your account.

If the expected processing period has passed and the refund is still not visible, please contact your bank or payment provider first.

If they cannot locate the refund, contact us at contact@valinara.com and provide your order number so that we can review the transaction.

26. How can I contact Valinara customer support?

Our customer support team can assist with orders, blouse information, sizing, materials, payments, shipping, tracking, returns, refunds, damaged products, and warranty claims.
