Frequently Asked

Questions

We're happy to help you find answers!
Please contact us if your question isn't listed here.

1. Exchanges and Returns

What is your return policy?

We are a small online store (not like Zalando😅) and would like to ask you to please be mindful when placing your order. This is for sustainability reasons, but also because returns create a tremendous amount of extra work for us.

Of course, you can return an item if it doesn't meet your expectations. That can happen, of course.

You have the right to cancel your order within14 daysof receipt without providing a reason. After cancellation, you have another 14 days to return your product.

You will then be credited the full amount, including shipping costs, for the returned item. You are only responsible for the shipping costs to return the item from your address to us.

If you exercise your right of withdrawal, the product must be returned to us with all accessories included and—if reasonably possible—in its original condition and packaging. Please pack it neatly, just as you received it. Do not just “shove” it into a bag or box—if you do, we will NOT accept the return :-)


With every SALE purchase, you'll receive store credit that never expires. Isn't that great?

Did you pay with Klarna?

If you paid with Klarna, please DO NOT reportthe return to Klarna, as this will open a dispute. We would then have to pay an additional 15 euros in fees. You don’t need to do anything with Klarna; we’ll handle it with them for you as soon as we’ve processed your return. You’ll receive an updated invoice from Klarna.

Please affix postage to the package as a "Parcel"!Onlyjewelrymay be sent via letterbox mail. 

Items from the sale can be returned, but you'll receive store credit instead! So no cash refund. 

We may have made a mistake while packing—it happens! Feel free to email us! We’d appreciate it if you could address us kindly, as Sisters. We’re working hard, but we can make mistakes too❣️

How do you send your return the right way?

Step 1

If possible, pack the items in their original packaging (air-cushioned bag or box). Fold the clothing neatly, just as you received it. Don't just cram it into the box or bag.

Step 2

Fill out the return form (Download here) completely and include it with your package. If you don’t have a printer, you can also fill out the form by hand :-)

Returns without this form will not be processed!

Step 3

To exercise this right, first send an email listing the items you wish to return to retouren@the-twosisters.nl This is just to let us know; once you’ve sent the email, you can go ahead and ship your return.We won’t reply to this email—it’s simply to confirm your return. If you want to know whether your package has arrived, feel free to check the tracking information for that package :-)

Siebengaweg 2

Return Policy

Only undamaged and, of course, unworn jewelry and clothing may be returned. If reasonably possible, please include them in the original packaging (padded envelope or box) and ensure they are properly stamped,including a completed return form. Returns that do not meet these requirements—or that are damaged, soiled, or altered—may be refused.

We do not offer a warranty against discoloration of the clothing or damage to the silk skirts, kimonos, sets, and dresses.  Silk clothing is very delicate, and we inspect it carefully before shipping it to you (just like everything else :-)). We also do not offer a warranty for other types of external damage. We do not offer a warranty on zippers either. 

The cotton Gypsy skirts feature about 80 meters of hand-stitched detailing. Sometimes a stitch might come loose :-) We ask that you have it repaired by a local seamstress, Sister. That way, we’re working together toward a more sustainable world!

A summary of the return policy:

  • Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility, and the customer is also responsible for any risks associated with shipping.
  • Returns thatdo notinclude a completed return slip with the customer’s name and order number will be held for up to 1 month after the date of receipt. After this period, the return will be processed in our internal records, and no further claims can be made regarding it.
  • If you exchange an item, you'll be responsible for the return shipping costs as well as the shipping costs for your new item :-)
  • Please send an email notifying us of your return to info@the-twosisters.nl (we do not respond to these emails)

If your return does not meet the above conditions, we may refuse it.

Refund

We will refund the invoice amount to you within14 daysof receiving the goods. Both the costs and the risk of shipping (for example, if a shipment is lost by PostNL) are your responsibility when returning an item.  So, if you want to be sure the package reaches us, please send your return via letter-sized parcel or standard package.

With lots of love,

4. Other Questions

Do you have a brick-and-mortar store?

We have an online store and no physical store. We understand that it can sometimes be difficult because you can’t try things on. That’s why we provide detailed descriptions of each item, so you can try them on at your own pace in the comfort of your own home.

If you’re having trouble deciding, we’d love to help! Feel free to email or text us!

Do you guys perform at festivals, too?

Mwhaaa, we absolutely love festivals and markets. But unfortunately, for logistical reasons (related to inventory), it’s not possible for us to set up at markets and festivals.

Do you also sell to stores?

We sell our beautiful products exclusively through our own online store.

The reason for this is that we work with very small workshops, and those workshops cannot handle large-scale production.

We want to keep it that way, and we’re already very happy with every item that comes in!

Washing Instructions

Wash all cotton clothing in the washing machine at 30 degrees using a mild detergent— never by hand.

We recommend this because otherwise, color variations may occur due to the large amount of fabric used.

Never hang to dry in the sun.

Never put them in the dryer.

Our silk garments may be hand-washed in lukewarm soapy water!

What about child labor?

“Handmade clothing from India—that’s definitely made by children’s hands!”

Yes, I hear that often enough, and to be honest, I don’t find it all that surprising. In a large part of the clothing industry, this is actually true. “If it comes from India, the quality must be poor, and it’s probably made in a crowded factory under terrible conditions.” Unfortunately, this is often true, and sadly, it’s the reality we live with—and sometimes even contribute to (without realizing just how bad the conditions are).

On my trips to India, I fall in love with this beautiful country all over again. There are so many wonderful cultures, scents, and colors. It’s almost impossible to imagine just how different it is from the “Western world.” One of the most beautiful things I encounter in India is all the different people.

That’s why I knew I had to build something together with the local community. We started by joining forces, and now we create beautiful clothing together. Every time I return to my studio, I’m welcomed by a second family. I get new ideas, and together we explore new fabrics and designs and create wonderful adventures and memories.

At The Two Sisters, “handmade” really means handmade—but done in a fair and friendly way. You get a fair price, and so does my studio. Together, we ensure that you receive high-quality, beautiful clothing, and every link in the chain deserves to be rewarded for that.

So, are there no children in this story? Of course there are—just not as laborers. With every purchase on my website, a portion of the proceeds is donated to, BlueHousePushkar, and, and together we make a difference!

An amazing project in Pushkar. Many children in India grow up in poverty. The goal is to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty they’re trapped in and to develop this community with as littleoutside interference as possible.

So at The Two Sisters, “handmade” doesn’t mean child labor. “Handmade” stands for connection and love—between you, me, India, and all the wonderful people and children who live there. 

“The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.”
