Frequently Asked Questions
The answer is probably here...
Order
After confirming your order, you will receive a confirmation email with your order number and all the details of your cart. You can also view this summary in your customer account, under the "My Orders" tab.
If you don't receive an email after payment or if your order doesn't appear in your account, please contact us using the support chat bubble.
For any modification or cancellation request, please contact us by email.
We very rarely have the option to modify or cancel an order once the items are available.
🚀 If all items in your order are available in the warehouse, orders are prepared almost immediately, making it nearly impossible to intercept them before they are shipped.
🙅♀️ You can then refuse delivery of your package (or not pick it up) so that it is returned to us, and contact us by email or via the support bubble.
🔙 Otherwise, you can still make a return by completing the return form once you have received your items.
Some items may be available for pre-order. You will find a note saying "Shipping from (DATE)" on the relevant product pages. This date is an estimated shipping date.
🛒 When will my pre-order item be delivered?
The date announced on the product page is the departure date from our warehouse; you will need to add the usual delivery times of the selected carrier.
🛍️ I ordered several items, including a pre-order item.
If you order several items, some available and some not, at the same time, we will wait to receive all ordered items before shipping your package.
⏳ I would like to receive items already available before a pre-ordered item arrives.
If you haven't confirmed your order yet, we recommend placing several separate orders.
If you have already confirmed your order, please contact us via the support chat. Additional shipping fees for a second package may be requested.
❌ I wish to modify or cancel my pre-order.
You can, of course, cancel or modify your information at any time, as long as your order has not yet been prepared. Simply send us a message via the support bubble at the bottom of the site with the relevant order number.
Please note, if your order has already been prepared, it will not be possible to modify it.
🥺 What happens if the size isn't right?
Our return conditions remain the same: you will have 14 days from the receipt of your order to return the item if it is not suitable, as long as it is new. You will have the option to choose a size exchange (subject to stock availability), a refund, or a store credit.
Whether your item is made of 100% cotton, wool, or viscose, we recommend you take the utmost care of them.
Let's take the example of cotton thread, which is a natural fiber extremely sensitive to heat, humidity, and temperature changes. If care instructions are not followed, the material may shrink due to the retraction of cotton fibers.
Our recommendations:
Wash your 23 Mai Paris items inside out. This helps protect the flocking or other prints.
Air dry garments, either flat or on a clothes rack. Tumble drying is not recommended.
Little tips that can make a difference:
While your garment is still slightly damp, use a steam iron or steamer to iron it inside out, gently stretching the body and sleeves with an up-and-down motion. Combining heat and humidity will restore flexibility to your items.
Soak the garment overnight in lukewarm water with a mild baby shampoo - rinse and gently wring out with a towel, then gently stretch the item little by little before laying it flat to dry. This will help relax the fibers and stretch your items.
Please note: These tips can be used freely, & not only on your 23 Mai Paris items.
Regarding potential stains (milk, food, deodorant, etc.), feel free to use ox gall soap, available in organic stores, and/or sodium percarbonate, which can sometimes work wonders.

Wear
Despite all the care we take during manufacturing and the quality of the materials, normal wear and tear may appear over time, as these garments are used more frequently and intensely than others.

As soon as you receive your order, we invite you to check all items received and to report any anomaly as soon as possible via the support bubble, attaching a few photos of the item and its label.
If an item with a defect has already been worn, washed, or purchased several months ago, we cannot guarantee an exchange or refund.
However, we remain available to find a solution together!
