Refund policy
At Bag Chapter, every handbag is selected and prepared with care, attention to detail, and a focus on quality. We want your bag to reach you safely, in perfect condition, and looking exactly as you expected.
If something isn't right, we'll make it right — quickly and without fuss.
Before You Begin: The Unboxing Video
We ask every customer to record a continuous unboxing video showing the sealed package being opened for the first time.
This is mandatory for any claim involving a missing, incorrect, damaged, or defective item. The video must show the package intact and sealed at the start and must not be edited, paused, or interrupted.
Without a valid unboxing video, we may be unable to process your claim, as our courier partners may require it for verification.
It takes just a minute, and it helps protect you in case of any delivery-related issue.

Please contact us within 24 hours of delivery with:

Your order number

A refund to your original payment method where a replacement is not possible and applicable law requires it
You will not be charged shipping or handling fees in cases where the item was delivered damaged, defective, incorrect, or incomplete.
Returns and Exchanges for Personal Reasons
If you'd like to return or exchange your handbag because of a change of mind, colour preference, size preference, style preference, or another personal reason, we'll do our best to accommodate your request within 3 days of delivery, subject to approval.
In these cases:
-
Forward and reverse shipping charges apply and will be deducted from the value of your Store Credit.
-
The remaining eligible amount will be issued as Store Credit only.
-
Cash refunds or refunds to the original payment method are not available for personal-reason returns.
-
If you request an exchange and your preferred handbag is unavailable, we will issue Store Credit for the same eligible value instead.
-
Approval of personal-reason returns and exchanges is at the discretion of Bag Chapter.
Condition of Returned Handbags
To be accepted, the handbag must be:
-

If your new order costs more than your Store Credit, you can pay the difference using the available payment options.
