Return Policy


Sale items that were sold at a deep discount and Clearance items are sold as ‘final sale’ and therefore we cannot offer exchanges.

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.

Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer. We cannot give store credit for products sent to the wrong address.

Returns for damaged or defective products

We take every care to properly protect our items from damage during shipping. That said, should you receive a package that was damaged during shipping we will replace the item for you. Simply go to our returns portal and we will issue you a no-hassle returns label. You can also e-mail us at orders@fatstitch.com, or ping us on chat for help. We will do our best to replace the damaged item you ordered at no cost to you.

Please note that specialty items like fabric with limited availability, may no longer be available. In that case, we will contact you with a recommendation for a comparable substitution or give you the option for store credit.

For items damaged in shipping, we require a photo of the damaged box and corresponding damage to the product as a result of the carrier’s mishandling of the product. This will serve as proof of shipping damage. This is required for all exchanges due to shipping damage to help us file a claim with the carrier should we need or want to.

Before returning the item, please be sure to take and provide photos of both the box and the product.  For your convenience, you can send us photos through chat on our site or by e-mail at orders@fatstitch.com.
