At One Honey, we take pride in offering items made from unique and innovative fabric styles. Each piece is crafted with care and attention to detail. However, due to the nature of these materials and their handmade elements, certain characteristics are to be expected:
Fabric Characteristics
- Some sequin loss is natural and should be expected over time. This is a normal feature of sequin garments and is not considered a fault.
- Glitter items are packed generously to enhance their sparkle. Loose glitter may occur during handling; we recommend opening these items over a plastic bag to catch any excess glitter. This is normal and does not indicate a defect.
- Hand-placed appliques are unique and may vary slightly in alignment compared to product images. These variations are a hallmark of handmade craftsmanship and not a fault.
- In rare cases, some loose threads may appear as a result of the production process. These can be easily trimmed and do not affect the quality or functionality of the item.
- Occasionally, a hook-and-eye closure may come loose. These minor issues are easily fixable and are not considered faults.
If you have concerns or questions about a specific fabric or item—or would like to see a video of the item in action—please visit our socials @onehoney to view detailed product videos.
You can also reach out to us via our Contact Us page before completing your purchase. Our team is here to ensure you have the best possible experience with your order!
At One Honey, we periodically hold clearance sales at our Gold Coast Showroom, featuring sample items and discontinued styles. These items may also be included in our $99 Annual Warehouse Sale.
Key Points to Consider
- Final Sale: All Sample Sale items are heavily discounted and final sale, meaning they are not eligible for return or exchange.
- Customer Responsibility: Any alterations, cleaning, or repairs needed for these items are the customer’s responsibility and must be arranged at your own expense.
Condition of Items
- Known Issues: Sample items may show signs of wear, imperfections, or damage. We strive to disclose all known faults, but other issues may exist that we are unaware of.
- Inspection: Customers are strongly encouraged to thoroughly inspect items before purchasing to ensure they are satisfied with the condition.
Pricing Transparency
- Items are clearly marked down on the garment tag to reflect their discounted price, allowing you to make an informed decision.
- By offering these items at substantial discounts, we provide a fantastic opportunity to purchase unique styles. However, these items are sold "as-is," and all sales are final.
If you have any questions or need further assistance before purchasing a Sample Sale item, please Contact Us.
