RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY

Effective September 1, 2026, all purchases are FINAL SALE.

As Phosphene prepares to close, all merchandise purchased on or after September 1, 2026 is final sale and is not eligible for return, exchange, refund, or store credit. This applies to purchases made both in store and online, including full-price and marked-down merchandise.

We encourage you to review sizing, measurements, product details, and other information carefully before purchasing. Please reach out with any product questions prior to placing your order—we are happy to help while we can. Contact us by emailing us at hello@phosphenestudio.com or by sending us a message on our instagram account, @phosphene_studio.



Purchases Made Before September 1, 2026

Eligible full-price merchandise purchased before September 1, 2026 may be returned or exchanged within ten days of the original purchase date, in accordance with our previous return policy.

Items must be in their original, unworn condition with all original tags attached. Footwear must be unworn and returned with the original shoe box, dust bags, and packaging.

Items that were already designated Final Sale at the time of purchase—including vintage clothing and goods, marked-down merchandise, gift cards, intimate bottoms and bodysuits, sunglasses, socks, swim bottoms, beauty, body and personal fragrance, gift sets, and international orders—remain final sale and are not eligible for return, exchange, refund, or store credit.

Full-price merchandise purchased before September 1 using a discount code is eligible for store credit or exchange only when returned within ten days of purchase.

We do not provide price adjustments on previous purchases, and discount codes cannot be combined with other offers.


Purchases Made September 1, 2026 + After

All sales are final.

Beginning September 1, 2026, we will no longer accept returns or exchanges or issue refunds or store credit for any purchases, whether made in store or online.

Because we are closing and inventory will not be restocked, merchandise is available only while supplies last.
