Returns, Refunds & Exchanges
What is your return policy?
It depends on why you are sending something back.
If you changed your mind. You have 14 days from delivery to exchange for something of equal value or take store credit. Items need to be unused, unworn, in their original packaging, with tags on and proof of purchase. We do not refund change-of-mind returns to your card.
If it is faulty, damaged or not as described. Email us within 48 hours and we will repair it, replace it, or refund it to your original payment method, and we cover the return cost. This applies to everything we sell, including vintage and antiques and everything listed as non-returnable.
If it has not shipped yet. We can cancel it and refund you in full.
How do I start a return?
- Email us at contact@georgesofdubai.com with your order number and reason for return
- We will reply with clear instructions
- Items may be returned in person or shipped to:
GEORGES of Dubai
Shop 22, Waitrose Mall, Motor City, Dubai, UAE
Please wait for return approval and instructions before sending or dropping off any item. Items returned without prior approval will not be processed.
Do you offer exchanges or store credit?
Yes, for a change of mind. You can exchange your item for another of equal value or request store credit.
Conditions:
- The item must meet the same eligibility requirements as returns
- Store credit is issued by email once the item has been inspected, and is valid for 12 months
- All exchanges and credits must be processed within the 14-day window
- Change of mind is not available on vintage and antique pieces, custom-made or personalised items, beauty or perishable goods, sale items, or gift cards
What if my item is damaged, faulty or incorrect?
If your item arrives damaged, is not what you ordered, or is materially not as described, we will make it right. This applies to every item we sell, including vintage and antiques.
Steps:
- Contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order
- Include your order number and clear photos of the issue
- Email contact@georgesofdubai.com
We will repair the item, replace it, or refund it to your original payment method, and we cover the cost of the return. Nothing in our returns policy limits this.
Can I return a vintage or antique piece?
All sales of vintage and antique pieces are final as to a change of mind. Every piece is one of a kind, so there is no identical replacement to exchange it for.
Because of their age and history, signs of wear, variation and small imperfections are to be expected. We see these details as part of their charm. The patina, character and individuality of each piece are exactly what make them so special.
If you are unsure about a piece, please ask before you buy. Email contact@georgesofdubai.com for more detail and additional close-up photographs, or visit one of our stores to inspect it in person and purchase it there.
If a piece arrives damaged or is materially not as described, contact us within 48 hours and we will repair, replace or refund it to your original payment method. That right is not affected by the above.
Which items are non-returnable?
We cannot accept a change of mind on:
- Vintage and antique items
- Custom-made or personalised items
- Personal care or beauty products, such as soaps, oils and lotions
- Perishable items, such as food, chocolate and flowers
- Sale or clearance items
- Gift cards
This list does not limit your rights if an item is faulty, damaged or not as described. Those rights apply to every item above. Contact us within 48 hours and we will repair, replace or refund it.
If you are unsure whether your item qualifies, email us before purchasing.
How long does it take to receive a refund?
Where a refund is due, it is issued to your original payment method within 10 business days of your return being approved. You will receive a confirmation email.
Refunds apply to items that are faulty, damaged or not as described, and to orders cancelled before dispatch. Change-of-mind returns are settled as an exchange or store credit rather than a card refund.
Processing times then vary by bank or payment provider. If more than 15 business days have passed since your refund confirmation, contact contact@georgesofdubai.com
Can I return a gift?
Yes, but the same conditions apply.
Refunds can only be issued to the original purchaser. If you received a gift and would like to exchange it or receive store credit, please contact us for assistance.
Need assistance?
If you have a question about a return or an exchange, get in touch.

What materials are used in your products?
Materials are listed on each product page. If something is missing or unclear, email contact@georgesofdubai.com and we will find out for you.
Are your candles and parfum oils made with natural ingredients?
Some of our home fragrance products are made with natural or botanical-based ingredients, and others are made using premium fragrance blends. Each product page specifies this clearly. If you have allergies or sensitivities, we encourage you to double-check the listed details or reach out before purchasing.
Are your homeware items handmade?
Many are. A lot of our homeware comes from independent makers and small-batch brands, and where a piece is handmade we say so in the description.
Handmade pieces vary slightly in colour, finish and form. That variation is part of what you are buying.
How do I care for and maintain my items?
Care instructions are on the product page for most categories, and our blog has longer guides for homeware, jewellery and fashion.
If you are unsure how to clean or store something specific, email contact@georgesofdubai.com

Do you offer gift wrapping?
Yes. Open your cart, choose "Make it a gift?", and our signature kraft paper and ribbon wrapping is free. You can upgrade to the Premium Gift Box for 55 AED.
Nothing is wrapped unless you choose it, so if you would rather have your items as they are, simply leave it set to "No wrapping".
Can I include a personalised message with a gift?
Yes. Choose a gift wrap in your cart and a "Note to the recipient" box appears. We handwrite your message on one of our notecards and include it with the order. We never include prices or receipts in gift orders.
Do you offer bulk or corporate gifting?
Yes. Whether you're preparing for an event, thanking clients, or celebrating milestones, we’re happy to help.

Sustainability & Ethical Practices
Do you prioritise sustainability in your sourcing?
Where we can. We work with small, independent and women-led brands, many of which use natural materials, low-waste production and ethical labour standards. Nothing carrying our own name is mass-produced.
Are your packaging materials eco-friendly?
We use recycled, recyclable and reusable packaging materials for the vast majority of our orders. This includes:
- Recycled kraft paper and tissue
- Paper-based stickers, postcards and cards
- Recyclable cardboard boxes
The only exception is bubble wrap, which we currently use to protect fragile items. We're actively researching biodegradable or more sustainable alternatives without compromising product safety during shipping.
Are all your products sustainable?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Many pieces are made with natural or low-impact materials, in small batches with little waste, or from recycled and upcycled elements. Where an item is handcrafted, fair trade or sustainably made, we say so in the description.
Do you use ethical suppliers?
Yes. We make every effort to ensure that our suppliers operate with integrity, fairness, and safe working conditions. We prioritise makers and brands that align with our values: respect for people, craft, and planet.
We do not work with factories or large-scale production facilities that lack transparency.
How do I know if a product is sustainable?
We put sustainability notes in the product description where they apply, such as made from recycled materials, handmade by women-led cooperatives, sustainably harvested wood, or plastic-free packaging.
If you are unsure about a specific piece, email contact@georgesofdubai.com
How can I shop more consciously on your site?
Look out for key phrases on product pages like "handmade," "natural," "recycled," or "ethically sourced". You can also shop by maker or reach out to our team for personal recommendations aligned with your values.
Business & Wholesale Enquiries
Do you offer wholesale pricing for bulk orders?
We do not offer standard wholesale pricing. However, we have a trade programme tailored specifically for interior designers, stylists, and project-based buyers.
If you’re working on a design, hospitality, or furnishing project, we offer:
- 15% trade discount on eligible homewares, fabrics, and select décor

Please email us at contact@georgesofdubai.com with your business name, trade licence (if applicable), and project overview to apply.
