The answer probably lies here...
Control
After validating your order, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with your order number and all the information in your basket. You can also view this summary in your customer area, under "My orders".
If you don't receive an e-mail after payment, or your order doesn't appear in your account, please contact us via the support bubble.
For any modification or cancellation request, please contact us by e-mail.
We very rarely have the possibility of modifying or cancelling an order for which the items are available.
🚀 If all the items in your order are available at the warehouse, orders are prepared almost immediately, it's almost impossible to intercept them before they're shipped.
🙅♀️ You can then refuse delivery of your package (or not pick it up) so that it can be returned to us, and contact us by e-mail or via the support bubble.
🔙 If not, you can always make a return by completing the returns form when you receive your items.
Some items may be available for pre-order. You will find an indication "Shipping from (DATE)" on the product page. This is an estimated shipping date.
🛒 When will my pre-order item be delivered?
The date indicated on the product sheet is the date of departure from our warehouse, to which must be added the usual lead times of the selected carrier.
🛍️ I have ordered several items, including a pre-order item.
If you order several items that are available and unavailable at the same time, we will wait until we receive all the items ordered before we can dispatch your package.
⌛️ I would like to receive items already available before a pre-order item arrives.
If you have not yet confirmed your order, we recommend that you place several separate orders.
If you have already validated your order, please contact us via the support bubble. You may be asked to pay the shipping costs for the second parcel.
❌ I wish to modify or cancel my pre-order.
You can, of course, cancel or modify your details at any time while your order is still being processed. Just send us a short message via the support bubble at the bottom of the site with the order number concerned.
Please note that if your order has already been prepared, it will not be possible to modify it.
🥺 What happens if the size doesn't fit?
Our return policy remains unchanged: you will have 14 days from receipt of your order to return the item if it is not to your liking, as long as it is new. You will be able to choose between a size exchange (subject to stock), a refund or a credit note.
Whether your model is made of 100% cotton, wool or viscose, we recommend that you take the utmost care.
Take cotton yarn, for example, a natural fiber that is extremely sensitive to heat, humidity and temperature changes. If you don't follow our care instructions, you may experience material movement due to shrinkage of the cotton fibers.
Our recommendations:
Wash your 23 Mai PAris models inside out. This helps protect flock or other prints.
Let clothes air-dry, either flat or on a tumble-dryer. Tumble drying is not recommended.
Little tips that can make all the difference:
Using your steam iron or steamer, iron your garment on the reverse side, gently stretching the body and sleeves in an up-and-down motion. By combining heat and moisture, this will restore suppleness to your garments.
Soak the garment overnight in lukewarm water with a mild baby shampoo - rinse and gently wring out with a towel, then stretch the piece a little at a time before laying it flat to dry. This will relax the fibers and stretch your pieces.
Nota bene: These tips can be used without moderation, & not just on your 23 Mai Paris pieces.
For any stains (milk, food, deodorant, etc.), don't hesitate to use ox gall soap, available in organic stores, and/or sodium percarbonate, which can sometimes work real miracles.

Wear and tear
Despite all the care we take during manufacture and the quality of our materials, "normal" wear and tear can occur over time, as garments are used more often and with greater intensity than others.
