Shipping & Delivery

That depends on whether your piece is ready now or still being made.

  • Ready to ship: Domestic orders arrive within 5 business days. International orders can take up to 14.
  • Pre-orders: Each product page shows its estimated ship window under Shipping & Returns. Once your piece is finished and on its way, the timing above applies.

Domestic shipping is on us, always. International rates depend on where you are and are calculated at checkout. The fine print lives in our Shipping Policy.

Yes, we offer free shipping on domestic orders.  International rates depend on where you are and are calculated at checkout. The fine print lives in our Shipping Policy.

We do, to most of the world. Free shipping applies to domestic orders only. You can find the full list of destinations in our Shipping Policy. If you don't see yours, write to us at orders@eleanorleftwich.com and we'll see what we can work out.

Returns & Refunds

If something isn't quite right, you have 7 days from the day it arrives to let us know. You can start a return or exchange here.

  • Full-price pieces: You can choose a refund, a free exchange, or store credit.
  • Sale pieces (not marked Final Sale): store credit only.
  • Final Sale: These are yours to keep.

Pieces need to come back unworn and undamaged, just as they left us. 

Return requests must be submitted within 7 days of receiving your order.

All unworn, undamaged items are eligible for a full refund. Damaged items are not eligible for a refund. Please note that all Sale items returned will be eligible for store credit only.

Return shipping is yours to cover. If your original order shipped free, that's the only cost. If it didn't, the original shipping charge isn't refunded either.

how preorder works

Thank you for considering a piece that’s made to order, for you.

We make things in small batches, on purpose. When you pre-order, we make what’s been ordered, in the sizes that have been ordered. There are no racks of extra stock and no guessing about what to make next. It’s also what lets us offer extended sizing, since we don’t need a full run of every size sitting on a shelf to carry them all.

It changes the math, too. Many brands price high to cover everything that goes unsold and gets marked down later. We’d rather not build our business that way. With no surplus to pay for, we can put the money where you’ll feel it, into nicer fabric, and still keep our prices well below typical industry margins.

And because we’re small, we really listen. If a sleeve runs long, or there’s something you’d love to see us make, tell us. We’re always open to ideas.

Most pre-orders ship within 6–8 weeks. Your piece is made by partners we know by name, in New York, Los Angeles, Italy, Bolivia, or Nepal. From there it comes to our warehouse, where our founder’s mother and mother-in-law inspect it, pack it, and send it your way. (Yes, they check every one. Nothing gets past them.)

The estimated ship window for every piece is on its product page under Shipping & Returns. For production updates and the occasional peek behind the scenes, follow along at @eleanorleftwich and @eleanorleftwichcollection. For order questions, styling advice, or anything else, write to us at orders@eleanorleftwich.com. A real person reads every note.
