We understand that sometimes you may have some questions or prefer to speak to a member of our friendly team about your order. Please call us on +44 (0)151 345 6937 (Monday - Thursday 9am - 5.30pm and Friday 9am - 5pm). We will be delighted to answer any questions you may have, help you with advice about our products and take your order. We hope to hear from you soon!

When you checkout as a guest we will still need to collect personal information that is required for your order and you will not create a password. Please remember that by registering for an account you will be able to place orders more quickly in future, view past orders online and track your order status.

I have forgotten something on my order, can I add to it?

Once your order has been placed you are unable to add any further items to your order. However if you place more than one order on the same day you will only pay for delivery once. Please contact us at info@catherineloves.co.uk and quote your order numbers to request a delivery refund.

I have ordered an incorrect item, can I change my order after it is placed?

Once your order has been placed it is immediately sent to our warehouse for picking and we regret that you are unable to change it. If you have ordered an incorrect item you will need to return it to us for an exchange or refund at your own cost. Exchange items are sent out with no additional delivery charge. Alternatively if your order is urgent you may place a further order for the correct item on the same day and you will only pay the delivery charge once. Please contact us for a delivery refund for your new order quoting your order numbers. The incorrect item will still be delivered and you will need to return it for a refund.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Mastercard, Visa and Paypal

General Questions

Do you have any shops?

We do not currently have any shops. Our full collection is available online and our Catherine Loves bespoke ranges are stocked by some boutiques, independent shops and department stores in the UK.

What is Catherine Loves?

Catherine Loves is exactly how it sounds. Well, anything that Catherine loves!

Can you give me stockist details for a particular item?

We are unable to give stockist details for specific items. Due to the large number of Catherine Loves products and stockists we cannot be sure which items will be available in a particular shop at any time. Our full collection is always available online.

Do you have a catalogue that you can send to me?

The fabulous Catherine Loves catalogue is available seasonally. Please email info@catherineloves.co.uk with your full name and address to be added to our mailing list. The catalogue is also available to view online.

Sign up for our fantastic newsletter online to become a VIP customer and be the first to hear about our special offers, promotions and new products. Many of our offers are exclusively available to our VIP customers.

If you are interested in becoming a fabulous Catherine Loves stockist we would love to hear from you! Please call us on +44 (0) 151 345 6937 or complete your details here: Trade Enquiry and we will contact you very soon.

Why is an item I have seen not available online?

If an item is out of stock it may not be visible on our website. Whilst we always try our hardest to ensure permanent stock availability our items are all manufactured to order and lead times are very long. Our items take up to 6 months to arrive in our warehouse after ordering as every item is made specially for us. Sometimes items sell faster than we predict which may mean we are sold out for a period. Please do contact us by email info@catherineloves.co.uk or +44 (0)151 345 6937 and we will be delighted to provide you with the most up to date stock availability information and expected delivery dates. In many cases we may also be able to suggest an alternative item.

Why can you not guarantee availability of an item that is low in stock?

When we have only a few pieces left in-stock there is a small risk that an item may not be available when we pick it in our warehouse. Although we do regular stock-takes and the level should be accurate, there is occasionally a small discrepancy due to human error. In the rare circumstances when this occurs we will contact you as soon as possible to alert you and offer an alternative item.

I am ordering some items as a gift, will the prices be shown on the delivery note?

The delivery note for all online orders does not show the price paid so you can be assured the gift recipient will not receive any pricing details.

I have forgotten my password, how do I change it?

If you forget your password please use the forgotten password link on the login page. You will be prompted to enter your registered email address and an email will be sent to you with a link to reset your password. If you have any problems please contact us at info@catherineloves.co.uk or on +44 (0)151 345 6937.
