FAQS

All of our clothing is crafted by skilled artisans in small-scale European workshops located in Lithuania and Belarus. We closely oversee the production process to ensure fair and safe working conditions for our artisans, and maintain the highest quality and sustainability standards.

The upcycled fabrics we repurpose are high quality textiles no longer needed or suitable for production by luxury fashion or textile companies. These fabrics may have been rejected due to overstocking and surplus production and would typically be discarded in landfills. Upcycling these beautiful fabrics gives them a second life and helps to reduce waste and environmental impact.

Refer to our SIZING CHART for general sizing guidelines, and the Sizing Charts on our product pages to see individual measurements for each design. If you prefer a more personal touch, write to us at sizing@gaala.com, and we will be happy to help you find the right size!

Preorders ship within 3 weeks after purchase. Stock items ship within 2 business days.

Standard shipping takes 48 hours within France, 1-2 business days within the EU, and between 2-3 business days for international orders.

Import duties and taxes are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges will be your responsibility and will be collected from you by the shipping company.

If you refuse a shipment from Gaâla, you are responsible for the original shipping charges and import and returns fees incurred upon delivery to us.

A preorder item is a product that is not yet in stock. Preorders allow small brands like ours to gauge customer interest and consequent demand, eliminating overproduction and waste.

Due to the limited nature of upcycled fabrics, we limit the preorder quantity to the amount we can make. Often, once an item sells out, we cannot make it again.

You can easily tell if an item is available for preorder by checking the product page. We indicate whether an item is in stock and available for immediate purchase or if it is currently only available for preorder.

If you place an order that includes both a preorder item and an in stock item, we'll hold onto the in stock item and ship both items together when the preorder item is ready. This way, you'll only need to pay for shipping once, and we can reduce our environmental footprint by consolidating shipments. If you need an in stock item urgently, we recommend that you place a separate order.

Preorders are charged immediately at checkout.

Preorders ship out to you within 3-4 weeks after the order has been placed. Please note that delays in this timeline may occur occasionally. We apologize in advance and thank you for your patience.

The points/coupons are applied to all baskets, which means that when you have a mixed order, the coupons are disabled. We recommend placing two separate orders if you wish to use your coupon for a non-sale item. In this case, you can apply your coupon at checkout for the non-sale item.

Unfortunately you need to have created an account prior to making a purchase in order for your points to be taken into account.

There are so many ways to earn points. As soon as you join the program, you’ll be welcomed with 200 points to get you started. You also gain 10 points for every euro you spend with us. Take a look at the loyalty program page for more ways to rack up the most points.

• You are enrolled in our loyalty program.

• Kindly be advised that only one gift can be chosen per order.

First of all, go to your customer account and check in the section entitled “Orders” that the purchase was registered. 

If it appears in your order history, check if your order was placed more than two days ago. If not, it is normal as your points are "pending" during this time. 

If the purchase does not appear in your purchase history you may have made a purchase using another e-mail address. In this case, contact our client service team at contact@gaala.com so that we can attribute your points.

If you decide to return or cancel an order in its entirety, your points will be automatically canceled.

If you decide to return or cancel part of an order, the points that are on hold that relate to the canceled or returned articles will be deducted from your points total. 

Full details of the history of your points are available in your customer account.

If you choose to return your entire order, we kindly ask that the accompanying gift be returned in original condition. Failure to do so will result in the value of the gift being deducted from your refund.
