Please note that our team at Aj Designs works tirelessly to provide you with the best sustainable fashion quality products at affordable prices. We suggest it is important that you go through the points mentioned below before you plan to exchange or return any of our products:

  1. All the products at Aj Designs are exclusively handmade by artisans, craftsmen, weavers and tribal women based out of remote craft clusters in India. Hence the irregularity in stitches, colours and prints that you notice are not errors but a confirmation of the authenticity of your products being handmade and not machine-made.
  2. Differences in colours might be the result of technical variations and the colour settings on all the different screens could vary (computer monitors, tablets and mobile devices). Thus the colour of the product that you see online might slightly differ from what it looks to be offline. We do our best efforts to share the closest real and natural pictures of all our products.
  3. Weather conditions play a critical and important role in the making of hand-block prints and natural dyes. Thus a slight variation in the prints and colours may happen depending on the prevalent weather conditions at that point in time and we don't consider these variations as defects.
  4. Slight weaving inconsistencies or small holes in the fabric are an intricate part of the handmade process and cannot be considered defects.
  5. It is important that you keenly read the product descriptions before placing an
    order.

The team at Aj Designs provides a simple, convenient and hassle-free exchange
and return policy. We would be more than happy to help in the case of an exchange
or return of the products as per the details mentioned below.
