Why is the Outlet Sale only available on the UK website?

Our Outlet Sale is carefully managed from our UK head office, where the majority of our stock is held. This approach ensures we can offer incredible discounts of up to 80% while continuing to make room for exciting new products and minimising waste. As our Netherlands warehouse holds less stock and doesn’t handle returns, running the Outlet Sale from the UK allows us to provide the best value and experience for our customers. Every decision we make prioritises delivering the quality and service you deserve.

How are your products packaged?

We take great care in ensuring our products are securely packaged and wherever possible, we use eco-friendly materials such as clean, recycled cardboard and brown paper packaging tape.
