To ensure your refund goes smoothly, please ensure that all returns meet the following criteria:

Exchanges can also be requested via our online returns page, simply select exchange as the reason for your return and add a comment with your request. We will always do our best to facilitate exchange requests; however, exchanges are subject to availability upon receipt of your return. If we find your exchange request is not available at the time of processing your order will default to a refund.
As returns can take 3-5 working days to arrive and up to 10 working days to process returns can take up to 15 working days in total to be dispatched, this can sometimes be longer during peak periods. If you require a faster turnaround, we recommend you place a second order and refund the original.
If you have more than one purchase to return you can return under one label, however, you will still need to register each return to ensure you are refunded for the correct products/orders. Your invoices for each order must be contained within the package as this can delay or void your refund request if missing.

We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible prices on a wide variety of products. However, we are unable to make price adjustments after a transaction has been completed. This means that if you purchase an item before it is reduced in price, you will not be able to receive a refund for the difference in price.
In order to take advantage of a price reduction, you will need to return the item you purchased at full price and repurchase it at the discounted price. Please note that returns can take 3-5 days to arrive and up to 10 working days to process. This means that there is a possibility that the item you are interested in may not be available in stock by the time your return is processed.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we appreciate your understanding. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible shopping experience.
We are obligated to carry out additional security checks on orders that are flagged by your bank. This is a standard procedure and may delay your order being dispatched. We cannot be held liable for these delays as this is a process of your banking provider to safeguard your personal information. If you have any concerns please use our online contact form and a member of our team will contact you within 24 hours.
Yes, it is possible that some of our products may have been tried in-store or been display models. We source our products from a variety of locations, including our high-street boutiques. As a result, there is always a chance that a product may have been handled or tried by another customer before you purchase it. Yes, it is possible that a product may have creases if it has been tried in-store or been a display model. Leather is a natural material and it is prone to creasing. However, creasing is not necessarily a sign of poor quality. In fact, many people believe that creases add character to a leather product.

1. Lay down a piece of paper on the floor, ensuring it is large enough to fit the length of your foot
2. Stand on the paper with your weight distributed evenly
3. Trace the outline of your foot
4. Measure the length from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe
We recommend repeating this for each foot, as sometime sizes can vary between the two.
You can then refer to our size chart to understand which shoe size is recommended. Located on (top right) of each product page.
Trying on shoes is an essential part of the shoe-buying process. However, it's important to try on shoes in a way that doesn't soil them or damage them, as this could void your ability to return them if they don't fit or if you change your mind. Here are a few tips for trying on shoes without soiling them:
- Always try on shoes indoors on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid trying on shoes on carpet, dirt, or gravel, as these surfaces can easily soil the shoes
- Wear socks or stockings when trying on shoes. This will help to protect the shoes from your bare feet and make it easier to slip them on and off without scuffing them.
- Sit down when trying on shoes. This will give you more stability and make it easier to put on and take off the shoes.
- Use shoe trees or shoe horns when trying on shoes. This will help to protect the shoes from damage and make it easier to slide your feet into them.
- Be careful not to bend or crease the shoes when trying on shoes. This could damage the shoes and make them unreturnable.
- Inspect the shoes for any signs of wear or damage before you buy them. If you see any signs of damage, do not buy the shoes.
- Keep the shoe boxes and any tags that come with the shoes. You will need these if you need to return the shoes.
- Return the shoes immediately if you decide you don't want them. Do not wear them outside or scuff them up, as this will void your return policy.
By following these tips, you can try on shoes without soiling them and voiding your ability to return them.

At Embassy London, we are committed to providing our customers with high-quality, sustainable products. We understand that there is a growing interest in vegan alternatives, and we are actively exploring ways to incorporate more vegan products into our line.
In the meantime, we want to assure our customers that our leather is ethically produced. We source our leather from tanneries that are certified by the Leather Working Group, an organization that promotes sustainable and ethical leather production practices.
We also take steps to reduce our environmental impact during the manufacturing process. For example, we use water-based dyes instead of solvent-based dyes, and we recycle as much waste as possible.
We understand that some of our customers may not be comfortable purchasing leather products, even if they are ethically produced. That is why we are working to develop a line of vegan alternatives. We are excited about the potential of vegan leather, and we believe that it can be a sustainable and stylish alternative to traditional leather.
We are committed to transparency and ethical practices, and we will continue to work to meet the needs of all of our customers.

Contact Us
Our Customer care team is here to help.Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.Please note, we aim to respond to all queries within 24 hours, excluding weekends. This may vary during busier periods.
There are a few reasons why we currently only offer email-only customer service and do not take calls directly:
Email is more efficient. We can respond to email inquiries more quickly and efficiently than we can answer phone calls. This is because we can multitask and respond to multiple emails at the same time, while we can only handle one phone call at a time.
Email allows us to provide more detailed and comprehensive responses. When we respond to an email inquiry, we have more time to research the customer's issue and provide a thorough and informative response. This is not always possible when answering a phone call, as we may be limited by time or by the amount of information we can share verbally.
We understand that some customers may prefer to speak to a customer service representative directly. However, we believe that email is the best way for us to provide efficient, scalable, accessible, and comprehensive customer service.
