Ethical Policies
We’re all working towards a more ethical and sustainable world. As a company, Love LUZ is committed to making sure that everything we sell is manufactured ethically.
We believe that it’s important to be aware of the ways in which garments are supplied and manufactured, and in turn, ensure that the brands we sell comply with the laws and regulations in the countries in which they operate. Love LUZ will not knowingly trade with any brand or supplier that does not comply with these laws and regulations.
What follows are statements from the majority of the brands we offer regarding their manufacturing processes. We will always recommend our customers do their own independent research into the brands they are looking at using for fulfilling their orders through our website.
AWDis
“We’re passionate about doing things the right way at AWDis, which is why we only use WRAP certified factories. We and our global partners have a shared commitment to fair and safe working practices throughout our supply chain. We recognise our responsibility to ensure the manufacturing methods used match the ideals of those that wear and love our products.
“We recognise that our customers and end users have a vested interest in ethical and environmental considerations when it comes to manufacturing.”

Beechfield
“Beechfield Brands is firmly committed to offering good value products with industry leading quality standards, but not at the expense of any individual in the supply chain, nor with unacceptable environmental impact. Beechfield Brands do not condone the use of any forced or coerced labour and we implement a strict assessment process with our suppliers to ensure that factories meet, or exceed, applicable local standardsin terms of wages, health and safety, welfare and human rights.
“Beechfield Brands is committed to protecting the quality of the environment through sound environmental practice, ensuring that factories meet or exceed local environmental laws in an effort to reduce waste and minimise the environmental impact of their operations.”
Phone cases
Our phone cases are imported from South Korea by a UK supplier. They have an ethical policy agreement which includes the following:
– Commitment to Ethical Trading
– Employment is freely chosen
– Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining respected
– Working conditions are safe and hygienic
– Child labour shall not be used
– Wages paid for a standard working week meet, at a minimum, national legal or industry benchmark standards, whichever is higher. In any event wages shall always be enough to meet basic needs and to provide some discretionary income.
– No discrimination is practised
– No harsh or inhumane treatment is allowed
– Only workers with a legal right to work in the country should be employed
Stanley/Stella
“Since day one in 2011, Stanley/Stella has embraced the Fair Wear Foundation initiatives and has been focusing on cooperating in a responsible way with its suppliers, to the benefit of all workers. Respect for the planet is also strongly rooted in our DNA, as 100% of our cotton is certified organic (by GOTS or OCS), grown without pesticides, GMOs or chemical fertilisers. Other raw materials are also highly ranked on the “sustainability scale”: recycled polyester, Modal®, Tencel®, linen, and more.
“In order to build strong and close partnerships with production facilities, Stanley/Stella has decided to select a very limited number of factories to work with, in a limited number of countries. The members of the Stanley/Stella board have made an important step towards in- creased transparency. Based on a proposal supported by the CEO and the newly appointed Sustainability Manager, we publicly name all of our factories, giving more weight to the trans- parency objective than to the business interests of keeping confidentiality.”
Hassle-free returns!
We have a 14-day returns policy, which means you have 14 days after receiving your item to request a return. You then have a further 14-days to send the unwanted items back to us. We recommend using a recorded service as we are unable to cover the cost of return postage.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
To start a return, please contact us at i[email protected]. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.
You can always contact us for any returns question at [email protected].
Damages and issues
Please inspect your order upon receipt and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

Some deliveries must be signed for and you should keep your receipt. If goods are showing obvious signs of damage in transit upon receipt, please refuse to accept the delivery.

If your purchase is showing obvious signs of transit damage upon delivery, please refuse to accept delivery and notify us immediately. If damage is only evident upon opening of packaging, then you must inform us within 48 hours of receipt. In either case, we will then arrange re-delivery of replacement goods as soon as possible.
