If you'd like to find out how much an item is in your local currency, please click on the flag/currency button on the top right corner of any page and select the flag/currency corresponding to your preferred currency.

LAVIYE offers a variety of payment options. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express cards. We also take PayPal and store credit in the form of e-gift cards.

ORDER PROCESSING:

I placed an order, but never received a confirmation email.

If you do not receive an email from LAVIYE within hours of placing your order, and it’s not in your 'Spam' folder, the email address on file is most likely spelled incorrectly. Please contact our Customer Care via email at: customerservice[@]laviye.com for assistance to update your order details.

How do I change or cancel my order?

We’re super quick at processing orders to make sure that you receive them as soon as possible. You can change your order as much as you like before you click “Checkout” but after this point you will be unable to make changes to your order. Keep in mind our system is designed to fulfil orders as quickly as possible. We cannot cancel or change an order once it has been placed. In such cases, you can return the item(s) to us in accordance with our Returns Policy.

How long after I place my order will it ship?

Where items are 'ready to ship', please allow 1-3 working days for your item to ship.
For 'made to order' or 'pre-order' items, please allow 2-4 weeks after payment has cleared for your item to be made prior to dispatch.
If your order consists of a mix of pre-order and in stock items, your order will be dispatched in one shipment, this includes next day orders. Any next day orders with pre-order items will be dispatched once the stock has been delivered to our warehouse.

Orders are shipped Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and holidays. It may take up to 24 hours for an order to be processed. Kindly note shipping may be delayed by our verification team if confirmation is needed for the order.

My order was confirmed, but I just got an email saying an item is out of stock. What does this mean?

Between the time you placed the order and when we processed it, the item was no longer available. We will refund you the amount you paid for the item.

I placed an order but haven't seen any movement from LAVIYE. What's going on?

There are several reasons why your order may have been delayed. Either your order was flagged for risk of fraud, or we needed to contact you to verify your personal information. In all cases, we will reach out to you as soon as an issue is indicated and proceed to ship your items as quickly as possible. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service team at: customerservice[@]laviye.com for assistance to update your order details.

African fabrics aren't manufactured by LAVIYE. We only retail items made from them and as a result, LAVIYE is not responsible for the occasional minor imperfections in the fabric (e.g. ink stains, holes, rips etc.) that may be caused by the manufacturer.

We want your LAVIYE pieces to look as good as new for years to come.
