We also offer a bespoke design and made-to-measure service. Find out more about how it works here and call or book online for a personal consultation.

6. If something doesn’t fit me, do you do alterations?

Absolutely. We’re experts in garment construction and tailoring and our philosophy is that garments must be designed and adjusted to fit and flatter the wearer, not the other way around. Our highly experienced team will always take the time to ensure any item is perfectly fitted to you. We provide a full in-house service in our London Atelier, where most alterations for pieces fitted by us at pop-ups and events around the world are carried out, with meticulous precision and care, by our in-house tailors. We can also recommend trusted services in cities we regularly visit, should you wish to have your pieces altered locally. If you ordered online and want a piece tailored, call and we’ll endeavor to find the best solution.

If you need to change an existing order, please contact us as soon as possible by email to sales@deployworkshop.com or on +44(0)20 7935 1219.

8. Where are your products manufactured?

We’re proud that all DEPLOY products are designed in-house and made in London by boutique production houses with whom we’ve collaborated for many years. Occasionally, where specialist craftsmanship cannot be found in the UK, we seek capability further afield. Our fabrics are sourced solely from a carefully selected range of top-end environmentally-certified suppliers and produced mostly in Britain and Europe.

9. What are your sustainability credentials?

Sustainability is in DEPLOY’s DNA and we are a certified Carbon Smart company. We would love to tell you more about our commitment to innovative ethical design and production practices.

Of course. Should you need to return an item ordered online, please notify us first by emailing sales@deployworkshop.com, including your order reference number and the reason for return.

To qualify for a refund, non-faulty goods must be returned within 14 days of receipt, with a completed Returns Form.

We regret that we do not cover delivery costs for non-faulty goods returns and exchanges, and we strongly recommend using registered post, as we cannot accept responsibility for lost items. This does not affect your statutory rights.

We always strive to achieve the best possible quality product and service and each garment is carefully checked prior to dispatch.
