vince Return POLICY: EXCHANGE-ONLY

VINCE ITEM AVAILABILITY & SHIPPING
Item Availability: With Vince, you have access to their full inventory - so Vince can fulfill anything shown on their site! Rarely, there may be items that appear available online but are actually sold out. If this happens, we’ll reach out to you to see if you’d like a replacement option.
Shipping: Because the items may not all be warehoused in the same fulfillment location, there is a chance that items come in a few separate boxes. Tracking for each item will show in the Style Box invoice, and it will be emailed to you as well.
VINCE X GARMENTIER perks
Top-selling Stylists will be able to host private in-store shopping events!

SALE ITEMS & PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS
Each partner has their own policies regarding sale and commissions - we’re just here to respect them! Our partners provide these free services exclusively to Garmentier Stylists, so the commission on sale items is different, and they are unable to include any seasonal promotion discounts. We promise we’ll always do our best to give you and your clients the best prices and experiences possible, while ensuring our partners can continue to provide the service you love!

ABout
Vince is a leading global luxury apparel and accessories brand best known for creating elevated yet understated pieces for every day. The collections are inspired by the brand’s California origins and embody a feeling of warm and effortless style.
““Vince designs uncomplicated yet refined pieces that approach dressing with a sense of ease””
BRAND History
Vince was founded in 2002 by Christopher LaPolice and Rea Laccone, just a decade after the dynamic duo had built and sold off their successful label- Laundry.The Vince label found their niche and rapidly took off, growing 4 times larger than their expected growth rate. Vince's original designs were cashmere hoodies, pants made of luxury fabrics but cut in relaxed silhouettes, simple T-shirts that fit well — all items harder to find in department stores than a customer might guess. Vince’s breakthrough design was a zip-front cashmere hoodie, which the company continues to sell in new colors each season.
Q: WHY ARE SOME ITEMS UNAVAILABLE FOR STYLE BOXES IF I CAN SEE THEM ONLINE?
A: Every now-and-then, e-commerce platforms show items as available that are actually out of stock due to data discrepancies on the retailer’s part. It’s rare, but it does happen!
Q: HOW IS Vince DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PARTNERS?
A: Vince is available in every Garmentier channel- in-store pulls, shopping appointments, affiliate links, and style boxes! Vince also provides exclusive perks to our Stylists, such as the ability to host your own in-person or Virtual Trunk Shows and private shopping events with cocktails and dedicated service for you. Want to book a private shopping event for your clients? Email us at info@garmentier.co!
Q: HOW DO Vince STYLE BOXES LOOK WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO MY CLIENT?
A: The boxes arrive in plain, non-branded packaging with no paperwork or receipts - just a clean presentation! Sometimes a return label will be included in the box - sometimes it will be emailed to you instead (this depends on Vince’s fulfillment locations).
Q: CAN I ADD NON-VINCE ITEMS ONTO A Vince STYLE BOX INVOICE?
A: You can add CUSTOM or SERVICE items onto your Style Box invoice, but not other Ready-to-Wear items, and no “credits” (negative misc. items). You can use the GXT to make it super easy!
Q: CAN I ADD ITEMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTNERS INTO THE SAME STYLE BOX INVOICE?
A: No - please do not put items from different Garmentier partners onto the same invoice! You may send a Style Box from multiple partners to your client simultaneously, but, they cannot be combined into one invoice.
Q: CAN GARMENTIER SCHEDULE FEDEX OR UPS PICK-UPS FOR ME OR MY CLIENTS?
A: As scheduling pick-ups for boxes is an extra, paid service from UPS or FedEx, this is not something Vince currently offers. However, if you’d like to extend that to your clients and schedule a pickup yourself, you’re more than welcome to!
Q: WHY IS THERE A RESTOCK FEE FOR $0 BOXES?
A: Retailers expend time, money and resources to prep, package, and ship pulls or style boxes. When these pulls or boxes come back back as a full-return, the retailer loses money - and we want to protect your ability to continue to work with them! In order to maintain great partnerships, it’s our job to ensure we are all carefully curating what’s sent out or pulled - and that enabling you to sell for them helps, not hurts, all parties.
Q: DO MOST STYLISTS CHARGE THEIR CLIENTS A FEE FOR THE STYLE BOX SERVICE?
A: We won’t tell you what to do, but if you want our opinion: if it takes you time, it’s a billable service! Shopping online for clients is just as much of an effort as anything else - albeit, a smaller time commitment (which is why we love it!). Yes, you’ll make commission, and that’s great - but you are spending time curating pieces for your clientele. Don’t undervalue your expertise or be afraid to charge for your Style Box service! As for how much - you’ll know what’s right.
