Products
Our products are available exclusively online through our website. These products may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our return policy. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of us. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time.
Product Quality
All our silk scarves are made of 100% silk. Silk can thin over a long period of consistent use. The dyes on the silk fabric may also fade over time. Please see our guide to silk care to know how to keep your silk scarves in the best condition for a longer period of time.
Our scarf rings are either brass or alloy, plated with rhodium. Please note that due to the scarf rings being plated, color may fade over time and with consistent wear over a long period of time. Please keep your scarf rings in the velvet jewelry pouch it came with when not in use to prevent damage to the ring.
Product Photography
Please note that some items may appear a different size online in order to show specific product detailing or to show the product in full. Product photography reflects the best specification of the item, but some might alter in color and size due to different versions of digital screens and web platforms, therefore we cannot ensure that the exact color and sizing of products will always be shown in photographs.

Shipping & Delivery
Import Duties & Taxes (VAT)
Lalouette is based in Hong Kong, where there is no value-added tax (VAT). However, import duties, VAT, or purchase tax, may or may not be charged by your country of residence. Please note that we have no control over these charges. These potential costs are not included in the item price or shipping cost and are the buyer’s responsibility. Lalouette will fill out all necessary customs forms upon shipping out your order in Hong Kong. If you do not know how much, or if any, import tax you might have to pay, please check with your local tax authorities.
Customs Clearance
We accurately fill out all the necessary customs forms when shipping out your order. However, sometimes customs clearance can take longer than expected. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery caused by customs inspection, as this is out of Lalouette’s and the carrier’s control.
Please review our Shipping & Delivery page for more details on shipping and delivery.
