Can I modify or cancel my order after payment?

You have 14 days after placing your order to exercise your right of withdrawal in accordance with the Consumer Code. For any modification or cancellation request, please contact us as soon as possible at shop@sidearts.fr — if the order has not yet been shipped, we can intervene directly.

Livraison & commande

Y a-t-il des droits de douane à payer à la réception?

Pour les livraisons aux États-Unis, les droits de douane et taxes sont prépayés par SIDE ARTS : rien à régler à la réception. Pour les autres destinations hors Union Européenne (Suisse, Royaume-Uni, Canada, Australie…), les droits et taxes éventuels restent à la charge du destinataire selon la réglementation locale. Aucune formalité douanière au sein de l'UE.

Payment

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Visa and Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Klarna (installment payments), and cryptocurrency payments (USDC).

How does Klarna's installment payment work?

Klarna allows you to pay for your order in 3 or 4 interest-free installments. Eligibility and conditions are determined by Klarna at checkout based on your profile. The first installment is debited at the time of the order, subsequent installments on fixed dates.

Is my payment secure?

Yes. All payments are processed via Shopify Payments with SSL/TLS encryption and 3D Secure authentication. No banking data is stored on our servers.

Sizes & product

How do I choose my size?

A specific size guide is available on each product page, in the "Size & Fit" section. It indicates the exact measurements of the item (shoulder width, length, etc.) to help you choose precisely.

Do your clothes run large, true to size, or small?

Most of our pieces are cut in an oversized fit, true to the brand's streetwear aesthetic. For a more fitted look, take one size down from your usual size.

What are your products made of?

The material composition is specified in the description of each item. We primarily use premium materials suited to each piece (cotton, heavy jersey, twill, etc.).

How do I care for my SIDE ARTS clothes?

Follow the care instructions on each item's label. In general: machine wash at 30°C inside out, no tumble drying, cool iron inside out.

Where are your products manufactured?

The country of origin varies by product and is specified on each product page. The pieces are designed in France and produced in small batches by selected partners.

Returns & exchanges

Can I exchange a size instead of getting a refund?

Direct exchanges are not offered. The procedure is as follows: return the item for a refund, then place a new order for the desired size. This avoids items going out of stock during the exchange process.

How long will it take to receive my refund after returning an item?

Refunds are processed within a few days of receipt and verification of the returned item, generally within a maximum of 14 days. The time it takes for the refund to appear in your bank account then depends on your bank (2 to 5 business days).

Who pays for return shipping?

Return costs are at the customer's expense, in accordance with the right of withdrawal. We recommend tracked shipping for your security.
