We do not do exchanges. Our reasoning is simple. Our products are in high demand and if you send back the item you want to exchange, there is no guarantee we will have what you want at that time. Therefore, we suggest you place a new order for the style, color, size you want, and then call customer service at 1-877-525-2833 to get return authorization and a prepaid FedEx shipping label to send the item back to us as a return. When you call customer service please have your new order number handy so they can file the return as an exchange and a full refund will be issued once the merchandise is received at our warehouse.

If you receive damage or defective items, please notify us immediately via email, live chat or call 1-877-525-2833 and we will send you a return label. As soon as the item is received back a full refund will be issued.

If the item was purchased on DolceVita.com you may contact our Customer Service department and they will issue a Gift Exchange return authorization.
