FAQ

 

Our Product

 

Where can I purchase article:® products?

You can purchase right here from our Online Store or alternatively, visit one of our stockists or POP UP stores when operating.

Is the product on the website the same as what is available from stores?

The complete article:® product collection is featured right here on our website. Most products (with the exception of some) are also stocked by selected Fashion Boutiques & Lifestyle Stores. The amount of stock available through our Retail Partners varies - some stores carry a larger amount than others.

We are unable to ascertain if a Retail Partner has a specific product in stock, as their stock levels constantly change and their stores are operated independently. If you are wishing to purchase from our Online Store and we have sold out of a particular product, it can often be found at a Retail Partner.

Are the colours exactly as they appear on my screen?

article:® makes every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on the Website. However, as the actual colours you see will depend on your monitor/screen resolution, your brightness settings, your colour display profile and how often your monitor/screen is calibrated, we cannot guarantee that your monitor/screen's display of any colour will be accurate.

How will my order be packaged…Do you offer Gift Wrapping?

All products are presented superbly in our signature article:® dust pouch + box. They make ideal gifts for family + friends and even better treats to spoil yourself. Go on…you deserve it! Life is too short to accept mediocre!

How do I care for my article:®?

article:® is committed to unsurpassed quality in every aspect of design and manufacture. Each detail is carefully considered and hand-crafted by skilled artisans to ensure the longevity of the product is never compromised. In order to preserve your article:® and ensure it ages beautifully, we recommend following the Product Care card that accompanies your product. Full details can also be found here.

What warranty do you offer?

We pride ourselves on ensuring that all of our products are of the highest quality and meet our strict manufacturing standards. All article:® products are quality checked in-house by our suppliers and in addition, undergo final random inspections and lab testing by independent inspection authorities prior to being shipped to us. However, should any defect or manufacture fault present itself, we offer a one (1) year warranty on components and workmanship.

Our leather collection utilises both genuine leather and genuine fur (in lesser amounts). All hides are premium quality and hand-chosen due to their natural characteristics of sustainability, hand-feel and durability. To reduce waste, the majority of the hide is used when crafting our leather goods, which will result in slight variations in texture, colour and grain. Being a natural product, every hide/skin is unique and these variations in colours, indentations, wrinkles and marks on the hide/skin are part of its natural beauty and should be considered as life-lines adding to its character, not a fault.

In order to preserve your article:® and ensure it ages beautifully, we recommend following the Product Care card that accompanies your product. Damage and/or defects caused by personal wear and tear, accidents, colour transfer, treatment which is inconsistent with article:®’s Product Care, dismantling or repair by persons other than recommended repair centres are not covered under our warranty. Full Product Care details can also be found here.

If the order is being delivered to an Australian address, no additional fees/duties/taxes are applicable. If the delivery address is outside of Australia, please note that the shipping charge on your order does not include any possible taxes and/or duties that may be incurred due to the destination country's Customs regulations. The responsibility for any such Customs duties, taxes, VAT, etc. is that of the recipient upon delivery into the destination country. We are required by law to list the advertised price for our items on the Customs documentation, and to accurately list the contents of your order. Please keep in mind that we have absolutely no control over these charges. To ascertain the correct information, the Customs Service may require the information that the goods are designed in Australia and manufactured in China.

Should you require further information in this regard, please contact the destination country’s Customs Service to gain further details, as duty rates, VAT and tax-free thresholds vary in each country.

Do I have to be present to accept my delivery?

For your protection, all of our parcels require a signature upon delivery. To guarantee a smooth delivery of your order to you, we recommend that your parcel be sent to an address where someone will be able to receive/sign for it during business hours.

Unfortunately we cannot deliver to PO Boxes.

If no one is at the specified shipping address when delivery is attempted, our carrier will leave a card which will direct you to your local post office or collection point for collection. Please collect your parcel within seven (7) days.

Once a parcel is delivered to your local post office or collection point, we are unable to organise a re-delivery for you. Parcels are held at your local post office or collection point generally for no longer than seven (7) days before being returned back to us.

If we attempt to deliver your order and you are not at your delivery premises to sign for the parcel and consequently you do not pick it up from your local post office or collection point and therefore the parcel is returned back to us, we will charge you an additional $10 (Australia), $20 (New Zealand) or USD/GBP/EUR30 (Rest of World) to re-dispatch the parcel to you. We will contact you if a parcel returns to us to give you the option of a re-dispatch before charging you any additional fees. If you decide to cancel the order, we will refund you the full invoice amount, minus the shipping cost already expended.

Authority to Leave (ATL) ATL gives permission for our carrier to leave your online order without obtaining a signature. The benefit of delivering parcels with authority to leave is that the parcel will almost always be delivered on the first attempt.

Please note however, article:® holds no responsibility for goods left unattended at a delivery address if you give the carrier Authority to Leave (ATL) your parcel when no one is available to sign for it.
