Frequently asked questions

Worldwide. Orders ship from the Canary Islands, Spain, with tracked delivery.

Orders are prepared and dispatched within 1–7 business days. Transit time depends on the destination, typically 3–14 business days.

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on destination.

Possibly. The Canary Islands are part of Spain and the EU customs territory but outside the EU VAT area, so orders to the EU mainland may incur VAT on delivery. Orders to non-EU countries may attract customs and import duties depending on the destination's rules. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Yes, within 14 days of delivery, in exchange for store credit. Return shipping is the buyer's responsibility. If an item arrives damaged or not as described, email hi@bohemefolk.com first. We'll usually ask you to keep the piece and refund you to your original payment method. Read the full refund policy →

Yes. EU and UK buyers keep the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal, which means a full refund to your original payment method during that window, not store credit.

No. Vintage pieces generally run smaller than their label suggests. A 1970s Size 12 often fits like a modern Size 6. Always check the flat measurements on the product page rather than relying on the tag. Read the Vintage Sizing Decoded guide →

Take your own bust, waist, and hip measurements with a soft tape. Compare them to the flat measurements listed on the product page. Adding 1–2 inches for comfort is usually safe for woven fabrics; knits stretch more.

Every piece is graded on a three-tier scale. Excellent: no visible signs of wear; essentially as-new (rare for vintage). Good: light wear consistent with age, the most common grade on the shop. Fair: heavier wear or noticeable character marks; always fully described under "Condition details" on the product page. Whatever the grade, any specific flaws (missing buttons, small stains, lost embellishments) are called out separately on the product page.

Yes. Every piece is sourced by hand from thrift shops, flea markets, and estate sales across Europe, then cleaned, inspected, measured, and photographed individually.

No, each piece is one-of-a-kind. Once it sells, it's gone. If you liked a silhouette or fabric, browsing by era or material on the collection pages is the fastest way to find something similar.

Yes, every piece is cleaned and inspected by hand before it's listed. Because vintage natural fibres (silk, wool, cashmere, cotton, linen) respond differently to water and heat, we still recommend a gentle refresh (hand wash, steam, or dry clean depending on the fabric) before first wear.
