Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate information, including:

Please check all details carefully before confirmation.

Your occasion date is particularly important, as production timelines, exchange eligibility, delivery planning and other service deadlines may depend on it.

TWG may request additional information, measurements, photographs, confirmation or approval before proceeding.

If required information or approval is delayed, incomplete or inaccurate, the production, alteration or delivery schedule may be affected.

02Prices & Payments

Prices are displayed or quoted in the applicable currency.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, additional costs such as shipping, customs duties, taxes, extended rental periods, additional alterations and other optional services are not included.

Payment methods

Available payment methods may include:

Payment methods may vary according to location, order type or payment provider.

Instalments

Instalment options are available in Hong Kong only, subject to applicable programmes offered by:

  • Changes their style preference
  • Cancels or postpones their occasion
  • Changes venue or occasion details
  • No longer requires the product
  • Experiences a change in personal circumstances
  • Fails to use or collect the product or service

Nothing in this provision removes any refund, remedy or other right available to the customer under applicable law.

03Price Differences

Where TWG approves an exchange:

  • The replacement must be the same price or higher
  • If the replacement costs more, the customer pays the difference
  • If the replacement costs less, no refund or credit is provided for the difference

Additional shipping, insurance, duties, taxes, alteration, cleaning or other applicable charges remain the customer's responsibility unless TWG expressly agrees otherwise.

04Shipping & Delivery

TWG offers international delivery.

Shipping charges depend on factors including:

DestinationParcel sizeWeightShipping method

Applicable charges will be displayed or communicated where appropriate.

Estimated delivery time

Standard international delivery generally takes approximately:

7–15 business days after dispatch

Remote destinations may require approximately:

5–10 additional business days

These are estimates rather than guaranteed delivery dates unless TWG expressly confirms otherwise in writing.

Duties & taxes

International customers are responsible for applicable:

Import dutiesCustoms chargesTaxesClearance fees

Customers are responsible for confirming whether products can legally be imported into their destination country.

Delivery information

Customers must provide a complete and accurate delivery address.

Once an order has been dispatched, changes to the delivery address may not be possible.

TWG is not responsible for additional costs or delays caused by incorrect, incomplete or outdated information supplied by the customer.

Failed or refused delivery

If delivery cannot be completed because the customer:

  • Provided an incorrect/incomplete address
  • Failed to accept delivery
  • Failed to collect the parcel
  • Refused delivery without a legally valid reason
  • Failed to complete customs procedures

the customer may be responsible for reasonable redelivery, return, storage, customs and related charges.

Refusing or failing to collect a parcel does not automatically constitute an approved cancellation or return.

Courier delays

TWG will use reasonable care when preparing and dispatching orders.

TWG is not responsible for delays caused solely by customs, courier disruption, transportation interruption, incorrect customer information, import restrictions or other circumstances outside TWG's reasonable control, except where responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.

If a parcel is lost or damaged during transportation, please contact TWG promptly so we can assist with the applicable courier investigation or claim.

05Measurements

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and up-to-date measurements.

Please follow the TWG Measurement Guide carefully.

Where applicable, measurements should be taken while wearing the underwear and shoes intended to be worn with the gown.

Customers should notify TWG of material changes in measurements before alteration or production begins.

  • TWG is not responsible for fit issues to the extent they result from inaccurate, incomplete or outdated measurements supplied by the
  • customer.
06Alterations & Fit

For applicable gowns, alteration support includes:

BustWaistHip

Additional alteration areas may be requested at:

HKD 1,000 per additional alteration area

All alterations are subject to:

Gown constructionFabricExisting seam allowanceTechnical feasibility

Alterations are intended to improve fit but cannot guarantee a particular subjective appearance, comfort or fit.

Fit can be affected by:

Body changesPostureUnderwearShoesPersonal preferenceGown constructionCustomer-provided measurements

Final adjustments may still be required.

07Production Tolerance

For Made-to-Order and Bespoke gowns, a production tolerance of approximately 1–2 cm may occur due to fabric behaviour, construction and the handmade nature of bridal garments.

Final alterations may therefore still be required to achieve the customer's preferred fit.

This production tolerance does not apply as a justification for material errors or workmanship that does not meet the applicable standard required by law.

08Style Exchanges

Certain eligible orders may qualify for one style exchange only.

An exchange is not a refund.

All exchanges are subject to:

EligibilityAvailabilityTimingProduct conditionTWG assessmentApplicable fees

10Condition of Exchange Items

Unless otherwise agreed, an item submitted for exchange must be returned in substantially the same condition in which it was delivered.

It must not have been:

Worn for an occasionDamagedWashedDry cleanedPermanently alteredRepaired by an unauthorised third party

Unauthorised returns may be refused.

13Incorrect, Damaged or Materially Non-Conforming Orders

Customers should inspect their order promptly after delivery.

Please contact TWG as soon as reasonably practicable if you receive:

A confirmed TWG error does not use the customer's permitted style exchange.

Full payment must be made at the time of booking.

Once TWG has accepted the booking and reserved the gown, the rental payment is non-refundable in the event of customer cancellation, postponement, change of preference or change of personal circumstances, subject to applicable law.

One style exchange may be permitted under the applicable Rental exchange policy.

Change of mind — flexible booking options

Rental payments are non-refundable once the booking is confirmed, as the gown is reserved exclusively for the customer.

  • Exchange: one change to another available gown may be requested, subject to approval, price differences and applicable fees.
  • Store credit: where an exchange cannot be arranged, TWG may offer credit for a future booking, valid for 6 months.
  • Transfer: one transfer to a friend or family member may be permitted, subject to approval, measurements, availability and applicable fees.

All changes must be requested at least 4 months before the occasion, before alterations or order preparation begin.

Other countries

100% of the Rental fee

The Security Deposit is separate from the Rental payment.

Following return and inspection, the balance of the Security Deposit will normally be refunded by bank transfer within approximately 14 working days, subject to applicable deductions.

TWG may make reasonable deductions for amounts properly payable under these Terms, including:

  • Late-return charges
  • Damage beyond reasonable wear
  • Missing accessories/components
  • Cleaning or restoration required because of abnormal use
  • Unauthorised alterations
  • Repair costs
  • Loss or non-return
  • Other documented amounts arising directly from a breach of the Rental terms

Where a deduction is made, TWG will provide a reasonable explanation.

If properly payable amounts exceed the Security Deposit, the customer remains responsible for the outstanding balance.

18Rental Alterations

Where required and technically possible:

Bust, waist and hip alterations are included. No permanent alterations.

Additional alteration areas are:

HKD 1,000 per additional area

Rental gowns must not undergo irreversible or permanent alterations.

Without TWG's written approval, customers must not:

CutPermanently shortenRemove structural componentsPermanently modifyAlter the gown themselves or through a third party
19Rental Care

Professional cleaning is included with the Rental.

Customers must not independently:

WashDry cleanSteamPermanently alterRepair

the Rental gown unless TWG expressly instructs otherwise.

Reasonable care should be taken around:

RainSea waterSandFood/drinksOpen flamesRough surfacesSharp objects

Rain

If it is raining on the day, we would not recommend using the gown, as dust or dampness may cause damage or leave stains.

If you still decide to use the gown during rainy days, please ensure the rental gown’s condition and safety by using an umbrella, arranging car-to-door transport, and having someone help carry the train and take care of the gown.

Keep the gown dry

Avoid contact with water where possible, especially seawater, as it may affect delicate fabrics. If you are taking photos by the seaside, please try to keep the gown away from the water.

What to do if the hem gets wet

Please inform us as soon as possible. Do not wash it yourself. Hang it up in a well-ventilated area and let it air dry naturally. Do not put the wet gown directly into a suitcase or garment bag.

Normal wear arising from reasonable use will not automatically result in a charge.

Significant stains, burns, tears, missing embellishments, structural damage or other avoidable damage may result in reasonable repair, restoration or replacement charges.

20Rental Return

The Rental gown must be returned on or before the return date stated in the booking.

Unless otherwise agreed by TWG in writing, late returns are subject to:

HKD 5,000 PER DAY, PER GOWN

This charge reflects the operational disruption, loss of availability and potential effect on subsequent confirmed bookings caused by an overdue gown.

The applicable amount may be deducted from the Security Deposit.

Where a late return causes additional reasonable and documented direct loss exceeding the late-return charge, TWG may seek recovery of that additional loss to the extent permitted by applicable law.

21Rental Damage, Loss & Replacement

The customer is responsible for taking reasonable care of the gown throughout the Rental period.

Normal wear resulting from reasonable use does not automatically constitute chargeable damage.

Where a gown is damaged, TWG will assess:

Nature of damageSeverityRepairabilityRestoration requirementsReplacement requirements

Where repair is reasonably possible, the customer may be responsible for reasonable repair, restoration, replacement-component and related costs attributable to damage occurring during the Rental period, except to the extent the damage was caused by TWG or existed before delivery.

Beyond repair or lost gown

Where the gown is:

LostNot returnedDestroyedDamaged beyond reasonable repair

the customer may be charged up to the gown's reasonable full replacement value.

Where the customer's late return, loss or damage also prevents TWG from fulfilling a confirmed subsequent customer booking, the customer may additionally be responsible for TWG's reasonable, documented and directly resulting loss from the affected booking, including the applicable lost rental revenue, to the extent permitted by law.

TWG will take reasonable steps to mitigate such losses and will not recover the same loss twice.

Please notify TWG immediately if a Rental gown is lost or materially damaged.

22Ownership of Rental Gowns

All Rental gowns remain the property of TWG throughout the Rental period.

Rental gowns:

  • May only be used for the confirmed booking
  • May not be sold
  • May not be sub-rented
  • May not be transferred to another person
  • May not be permanently altered
  • Must be returned by the confirmed deadline
23Rental Gown Unavailability

In rare circumstances, a reserved gown may become unavailable before the customer's booking because of circumstances such as damage, loss, delayed return by another customer or other events outside TWG's reasonable control.

Where this occurs, TWG will take reasonable steps to offer an appropriate alternative or other remedy having regard to the circumstances and applicable law.
