Return & Exchange Policy

At The Ethnic Tones, every piece is thoughtfully curated to bring you the finest in heritage craft โ€” from the breezy elegance of Kota Doria to the timeless grandeur of Banarasi weaves. We want you to love what you receive, and we're here to make your experience seamless.


Eligibility for Returns & Exchanges

We accept return requests within 2 days of delivery, provided the following conditions are met:

  • Product must be unused, unwashed, and in original packaging
  • Unboxing video is mandatory as proof for damaged/defective product claims
  • All original tags and packaging are intact
  • The item is accompanied by the original invoice or order confirmation

What Can Be Returned or Exchanged

  • Items received in a damaged or defective condition
  • Items that are incorrect (wrong product or color sent)
  • Exchange is possible only for a different color, subject to availability. Each suit is carefully curated and most pieces are single-piece exclusive designs, therefore exchange is not available.

What Cannot Be Returned

  • Unstitched fabric sets that have been cut, stitched, or washed
  • Sale or discounted items
  • Items without original tags or packaging
  • Items returned after the 2-day window
  • Color variation due to screen display
  • Minor thread variations (common in ethnic wear)

A Note on Handcrafted Textiles

Our Kota Doria and Banarasi fabrics are handwoven by skilled artisans. Natural variations in weave, texture, and color are an inherent part of the handcrafting process and are not considered defects. We encourage you to embrace these as marks of authenticity.
