Returns

We hope you adore your order. If it isn’t quite right, we’ve made returning it simple.

1. Begin your return

Whether your order was placed in New Zealand, Australia or internationally, every return begins in our Returns Portal. You’ll need the order number from your confirmation email.

Visit the returns portal here

Within the portal, you can choose how you’d like to be reimbursed:

•      Refund to your original payment method. Your refund is processed directly back to the card or payment method used at purchase.

2. At a glance

Online, within New Zealand. You have 14 days from receiving your order to lodge a
return for a refund or store credit. The cost of your return label is deducted from your refund or credit (the amount varies depending on where you’re sending from).

Online, internationally. Returns are accepted within 14 days of receiving your
order, for a refund or store credit. We’re unable to offer exchanges, so we kindly ask that you return your piece and repurchase. A flat DHL fee is deducted from your refund, which will vary depending on your shipping address.

In our boutiques. Please return within 14 days of purchase, with your receipt, for a refund, exchange or store credit issued as a digital gift card. Returns can be processed at our Ponsonby, Newmarket or Auckland Airport stores.

Once your return is submitted, please post your parcel within seven days. After this time, the return will be cancelled and your label will no longer be valid.

We recommend tracked parcels with signature required, as we are unable to cover lost or stolen parcels.

Refunds are processed to the original payment method and currency only. Where a SABEN gift card was used, your refund will be issued to a new gift card, with the code emailed to you.

Please allow five business days for your return to be processed once it reaches our warehouse, and a little longer during peak periods.

3. Before you send

Condition of your piece

• Bags must be unworn, unwashed and unaltered, with tags attached and in their original packaging.

• Small leather goods must be in their original packaging, including all protective materials and the box.

• Sunglasses must be in their original packaging, including all protective materials and plastic covering, and returned with the cleaning cloth and protective case.

Returns not sent in their original condition, without proof of purchase, or past 14 days will be accepted at our discretion only.

What can and can’t be returned

If your order included a gift with purchase (for example, a free strap with purchases over $299), please return it alongside your piece. Should it not be included, we’ll be in touch to arrange payment. If you would like to return the handbag that
came with a free strap, both must be returned for a full refund.

Full-priced pieces purchased with a promotional code may still be returned. The code is forfeited and cannot be reissued. Items purchased during a seasonal sale or temporary promotional discount (for example, 20% off for 48 hours) are also eligible for return.

Final sale pieces, including all Workroom sale items, cannot be returned or exchanged. SABEN reserves the right to decline any return request for final sale pieces, whether lodged through the portal or in our boutiques.

Jewellery is excluded from our returns policy for hygiene reasons. Gift cards cannot be returned, refunded or redeemed for cash value.



Your return, step by step

1. Lodge your request. Every return is approved through our portal. Parcels sent without a request will be returned to you.

2.Pack your piece. Reuse the original satchel, covering the previous delivery label. If you no longer have it, any waterproof packaging is welcome.

3. Post within seven days. Securely attach your NZ Post or DHL label to the satchel and lodge it at your nearest post office. Your label allows us to identify your return, so there’s no added work on your part.

4. Leave the rest to us. Your refund returns to your original payment method, or your store credit is issued, once we’ve
received and processed your parcel. Where a gift card was used, that portion is credited back first.



If something is faulty

While we do our best to ensure every piece arrives in immaculate condition, should you believe yours is faulty, please lodge your return through the portal as soon as possible. Return postage is complimentary where SABEN is at fault, including dispatch errors. We will always endeavour to repair or replace your piece and, where we’re unable to, we’ll offer you a full refund. Damage resulting from
wear and tear is not considered a fault.


4. Exchanges

We are happy to exchange your purchase for another more suitable or preferred item. Please let us know you intend to exchange the item within 14 days from purchase. You must make the exchange within 14 days from delivery date.

The process for exchanges requires a full refund, and then a purchase of the new item.

Online purchases. Exchanges are not available for online orders; we kindly ask that you return your piece and repurchase.

In store. Our friendly staff in-store will be able to assist you with this process.


5. In our boutiques

Purchased online. Visit us within 14 days of receiving your order for a refund, exchange or store credit. There’s no need to lodge your return in the portal first.

Purchased in boutique. Please return within 14 days with your receipt. Cash purchases returned through the portal are refunded as store credit; return in person to be refunded to your original payment method.

Phone orders, same-day from boutique and click & collect follow these same terms. Gift cards are valid for three years.

 

Order cancellations

Once your order is placed, it is immediately sent to our warehouse team for processing and we are unable to make changes or cancel your order. Our team works quickly to get your order on its way to you as soon as possible.

If you need assistance, please contact us at info@saben.co.nz and our customer service team will be happy to help guide you through the next steps, including returning your order once received.

Items in your cart are not reserved until checkout is complete.


Order cancellation and price correction policy

SABEN reserves the right to cancel or amend any order, including international orders, where the price displayed at the time of purchase does not reflect the correct or intended price due to a technical, system or human error. This may include, but is not limited to, errors arising from:

•Website or platform malfunctions

•Currency conversion or exchange rate display errors, including where a displayed price fails to convert correctly between currencies

•Incorrect data entry or pricing upload errors

•Third party payment gateway, shipping or fulfilment system errors

•Caching or syncing issues between systems (for example, inventory management, ecommerce platform and payment processor)

Where such an error occurs and is identified prior to dispatch, SABEN will notify the customer as soon as reasonably possible. Depending on the nature of the error, SABEN may, at its discretion:

•Contact the customer to confirm whether they wish to proceed with the order at the correct price

•Cancel the order in full and issue a complete refund

•Amend the order to reflect the correct price, with confirmation from the customer before the order is processed further

No contract for the sale of goods will be
considered binding until SABEN has confirmed the order at the correct price
and, where applicable, the order has been dispatched. Placing an order, receiving an order confirmation email or completing payment does not guarantee
that the goods will be supplied at an incorrectly displayed price.

This clause applies equally to domestic and international orders, regardless of currency displayed, region selected or shipping destination.



Workroom sale

All products purchased at our annual workroom sale are final. No returns, refunds or exchanges. Workroom sale products are not covered by our complimentary repair process.

Permanent mark-down and workroom sale items are not eligible for returns or exchanges for any reason.

If a package does not arrive, or it arrives damaged, please contact us within seven days from confirmation of dispatch to claim insurance on the item. 
We will require your details, the details of the item that was lost, and the tracking number we sent you with confirmation of dispatch. If a damaged item has arrived, we require it to be returned to the postal authority in your country as near as possible in the same condition as when it was delivered.

We are not liable for and will not replace or pay compensation for loss of, or damage to, items we send if:

  • the item is sent to a country where no postal or courier service exists.
  • the item is seized by Customs or any other government agency.
  • the loss or damage is the result of an event beyond our reasonable control.
  • the loss or damage occurs after delivery.
  • the item was authorized to be sent without tracking or without insurance.

All SABEN pieces are covered by a 12-month warranty, which covers manufacturing defaults and repairs in the first year.

Please note: our warranty covers manufacturing faults that may arise within one year, it does not cover general wear and tear.

If you purchased an item from SABEN online please send an email to info@saben.co.nz with images of your bag and proof of purchase.

One of our team will be back in touch shortly.

If you purchased your item from one of our stockist partners, please first contact them regarding your repair.
Each piece is made by hand, from time to time faults occur in the manufacturing process. SABEN pieces are built for longevity and in an effort to make sustainable fashion – we always prioritise repairing an item.

Our warranty process follows a 3-step procedure:

  1. If we can repair the fault we reserve the right to first repair the bag.
  2. If we can’t repair the item and we believe it is fault of manufacture we will replace with the same or similar bag.
  3. If we can’t replace the item, we will refund or issue store credit.

Our warranty includes complimentary repairs for 1 year after the purchase date.

Thereafter, we charge a repair fee which is based on the type of repair. To have a bag repaired under warranty we must first obtain proof of purchase. Bags will not be accepted without a proof of purchase.

Most repairs take between 1 - 2  weeks to complete, though some may take longer depending on the issue, and availability of our repair partners. We do our very best to get your bag back to you as quickly as possible.


If your SABEN item is not covered by our warranty, but requires a repair or refurbishment, we are happy to facilitate the repair process with one of our agents.
Most repairs take between 1 - 2  weeks to complete, though some may take longer depending on the issue, and availability of our repair partners. We do our very best to get your item back to you as quickly as possible.

All prices are shown in AUS dollars. Your shopping cart displays the goods you have purchased. Discount codes & any shipping costs are calculated during checkout, before payment.

We accept Visa and Mastercard credit card payments via Shopify Payments and via Paypal. Shopify and Paypal are both secure and encrypted and your credit card number will not be stored.  You do not need a PayPal account to pay by credit card using Paypal.

All orders are processed pending availability and credit verification.

Afterpay allows us to offer you an 'Own it now, pay later' option for online and in store purchases through installment payments. 

  • Pay for your order in four payments, every 2 weeks. You will pay your first installment at the time of purchase, and the remainder over time.

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 10th June 2026

SABEN operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”). SABEN is powered by Shopify, which enables us to
provide the Services to you.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction using the Services or otherwise communicate with us. We comply with the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand) and its Information Privacy Principles (IPPs). If there is a conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy controls with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal information.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using and accessing any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand the collection, use, and
disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Personal Information We Collect or Process

When we use the term “personal information,” we are referring to information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person, as defined under the Privacy Act 2020. Personal information does not include information that is collected anonymously or that has been de-identified so that it cannot identify or be reasonably linked to you. We may collect or process the following categories of personal information, depending on how you interact with the Services and as permitted or required by applicable law:

•       Contact details including your name, address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address.

•      Communications with us including the information you include in communications with us, for example, when sending a customer support inquiry.

•       Device information including information about your device, browser, or network connection, your IP address, and other unique identifiers.

•      Usage information including information regarding your interaction with the Services, including how and when you interact with or navigate the Services.

2. Personal Information Sources

We may collect personal information from the following sources:

•      Directly from you, including when you create an account, visit or use the Services, communicate with us, or otherwise provide us with your personal information.

•      Automatically through the Services, including from your device when you use our products or services or visit our websites, and through the use of cookies and similar technologies.

•      From our service providers, including when we engage them to enable certain technology and when they collect or process your personal information on our behalf.

•      From our partners or other third parties.

3. How We Use Your Personal Information

Depending on how you interact with us or which of the Services you use, we may use personal information for the following purposes:

Provide, Tailor, and Improve the Services

We use your personal information to provide you with the Services, including to process your payments, fulfil your orders, remember your preferences and items you are interested in, send notifications related to your account, process purchases, returns, exchanges or other transactions, create, maintain and otherwise manage your account, arrange for shipping, facilitate returns and exchanges, enable you to post reviews, and create a customised shopping experience for you. This may include using your personal information to better tailor and improve the Services.

Marketing and Advertising

We use your personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, such as to send marketing, advertising, and promotional communications by email, text message, or postal mail, and to show you online advertisements for products or services on the Services
or other websites, including based on items you have previously purchased or
added to your cart and other activity on the Services. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time — see “Managing Communication Preferences” below.

Security and Fraud Prevention

We use your personal information to authenticate your account, provide a secure payment and shopping experience, detect and investigate possible fraudulent, illegal, unsafe, or
malicious activity, and protect our services. If you register an account, you
are responsible for keeping your account credentials safe. We highly recommend
that you do not share your username, password, or other access details with
anyone else.

Communicating with You

We use your personal information to provide you with customer support, to be responsive to you, to provide effective services, and to maintain our business relationship with you.

Legal Reasons

We use your personal information to comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including requests from law enforcement or government agencies, to investigate or participate in legal proceedings, and to enforce or investigate potential violations of our terms or policies.

4. How We Disclose Personal Information

In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include:

•       With Shopify, vendors, and other third parties who perform services on our behalf (e.g. IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, cloud storage, fulfilment and shipping).

•      With business and marketing partners to provide marketing services and advertise to you. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their own privacy notices.

•      When you direct, request, or otherwise consent to our disclosure of certain information to third parties, such as to ship you products or through your use of social media widgets or login integrations.

•       With our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group.

•      In connection with a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition, to comply with any applicable legal obligations (including to respond to subpoenas, search warrants, and similar requests), to enforce any applicable terms of service or policies, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

5. Overseas Disclosure of Personal Information

As a New Zealand business, we are subject to Information Privacy Principle 12 (IPP 12) of the Privacy Act 2020, which governs the disclosure of personal information to overseas recipients.

We may transfer, store, and process your personal information outside New Zealand — for example, through our use of Shopify (which operates servers in various countries including the United States and Canada) and other third-party service providers. Where we disclose personal information to overseas recipients, we take reasonable steps
to ensure that those recipients are required to protect your personal information in a manner that is at least comparable to the protections required
under the Privacy Act 2020.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we will rely on recognised transfer mechanisms such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual
Clauses, or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the UK, unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined to provide an adequate level of protection.

6. Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify, as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than New Zealand.

We also use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data obtained from your interactions with our store, along with other merchants and with Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights for these purposes.

To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information, please visit the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. You may also exercise certain rights with respect to your personal information via the Shopify Privacy Portal.

7. Third-Party Websites and Links

The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites not affiliated or controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites. Information you share on third-party social networking platforms may be viewable by other users of those platforms without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or
operators.

8. Children’s Data

The Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 years of age. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, please contact us using the details set out below to request that it be deleted.

9. Security, Retention, and Privacy Breach Notification

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, unauthorised access, use, modification, or disclosure. However, no security measures are perfect or
impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

How long we retain your personal information depends on factors such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide the Services, to comply with legal
obligations, to resolve disputes, or to enforce applicable contracts and policies.

In the event of a privacy breach that we believe has caused or is likely to cause serious harm to any affected individual, we will notify both the affected individual(s) and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner as required under the Privacy Act 2020.

10. Your Rights and Choices

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the following statutory rights in relation to your personal information:

Right of Access (IPP 6)

You have the right to request confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you, and to request access to that information.

Right of Correction (IPP 7)

You have the right to request that we correct any personal information we hold about you that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading.

Additional Rights We Offer Voluntarily

In addition to your statutory rights, we voluntarily offer the following where technically feasible and reasonable in the circumstances:

•      Right to Delete: You may request that we delete personal information we hold about you, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain it.

•      Right of Portability: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you in a portable format, where technically feasible.

Rights for UK and EEA Residents

If you reside in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, and subject to exceptions and limitations provided by local law, you may also exercise the following rights:

•      Objection to Processing and Restriction of Processing: You may have the right to ask us to stop or restrict our processing of personal information for certain purposes.

•      Withdrawal of Consent: Where we rely on consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw this consent. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

Managing Communication Preferences

We may send you promotional emails, and you may opt out of receiving these at any time by using the unsubscribe option displayed in our emails to you. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account or orders.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 12 below. We may need to verify your identity before we can process your requests. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. We will respond to your request in a timely manner, and within the timeframes required under applicable law.

11. Complaints

If you have a complaint about how we handle your personal information, please contact us in the first instance using the details in Section 12. We will endeavour to resolve your complaint promptly.

If you are located in New Zealand and are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at www.privacy.org.nz.

If you are located in the EEA, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. A list of EEA supervisory authorities can be found here.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the revised Privacy Policy on this website, update the “Last updated” date, and provide notice as required by applicable law.
