Article 4 – Product Information & Visual Representation

We strive to display and describe our products as accurately as possible.

However:

Colors may vary due to lighting, photography, screen settings, and editing.
Fabric texture, fit, or shade may appear slightly different in person.
Minor stitching, tone, or detailing variations may occur due to manufacturing processes.
Measurements may vary by 1–3 cm due to manual measurement.

Product images are illustrative in nature. Actual products may differ slightly from photographs.

Color differences, minor visual variations, or slight design differences are not considered defects and do not qualify as “item not as described.”

By placing an order, the customer acknowledges and accepts that minor aesthetic variations may occur.

Some products are manufactured and shipped from international suppliers, including Asia.

We reserve the right to modify product details, pricing, or availability without prior notice.
