ORDERS

How Long Does It Take To Process My Order?

As all of our pieces are hand-crafted, hand made and hand embellished, orders can take up to 40 working days depending on the garment style.

Our Bridal collection is based on extended pre order and can take up to 4-6 weeks to produce.

Some styles may be ready sooner depending on fabric, material and trim availability. You are welcome to contact us to check in on availability and production time frames.

Please note this does not include weekend or bank holidays (our hard-working Artisans need days off us much as we all do). Once production of your order is complete and ready for dispatch, you will receive a confirmation email along with your tracking details.

Why Does It Take Long To Produce?

Our dedication to a slower pace of production is a principle at the heart of Khanum’s, to ensure both our signature finish, but also to deliver on our promise to create purposeful garments which are to be treasured for a lifetime. Some things in life are worth waiting for, and our customers agree that a piece of Khanum’s creation is certainly one of them!

We want all our customers to be able to feel empowered by a Khanum’s garment on their special occasion, which is why we will do our upmost to ensure you receive your order by your requested date.

For further context, we only purchase materials, hand produce the garments, hand embellish and start production once your order has been placed. We require notification as soon as possible ahead of production so we are not wasting materials. We are happy to take amendments such as adding to your order at any time. For both queries, please contact orders@khanums.co with your order number and request.
