SPECIFIC SHIPPING INFORMATIONS

RUSSIA: Due to very strict restrictions on imports to Russia, non-document shipments sent to private individuals undergo extreme scrutiny, which can result in massive customs delays and holds on your shipment.
In order to help minimise these holds and delays we strongly recommend that all orders placed for a shipping to Russia ship to a certified business.

BRAZIL: Due to heavy customs restrictions, heritage unfortunately does not currently ship to Brazil. We are doing our best to make it happen as soon as possible.

RETURNS

Heritage curates one of a kind, rare vintage pieces, which are final sales. They have a particular value, provenance, history, and most of them are pre-owned. We do our best to please our customers by dry cleaning them professionally prior to shipping, which represent a consequent overcost.

We therefore do not accept returns on our pieces.

We do our best to deliver a precise description of each item sold on our website, with specific details on the possible flaws they present, in order for you to purchase a precious piece without being disappointed when receiving it.

As we do care for our customers and are really concerned about providing the best luxury service, if you do encounter an issue with your item when receiving it, despite all the previous informations, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our client service orders@heritageparis.fr so that we can find a proper solution to your problem.

At heritage we want your experience to be just perfect, from purchasing to wearing your next vintage treasure, that is why all items are professionally dry cleaned prior to shipping.
However, please keep in mind that most of the items are pre owned, and even if we carefully select and take care of them, they might show some minor defaults, always reflected in the price.
