Returns & Exchanges
Returns are possible within 14 days of receipt. Shoes must be sent back in unaltered condition and in original packaging. Returns should be postmarked within 14 days of receipt, shipping does not count towards the 14 days.

As a small company, return shipping rates are not calculated in our pricing; therefore customers are expected to pay their own return shipping costs. We do not offer free returns at this stage.

If you would like to exchange a size or color/style, please return the shoes that did not fit and place a new order. If you require any assistance, please contact us at hello@thewhiteribbon.com

Please, check with your local custom's office (or online) whether there is any import taxes to pay. 

Please, note we are not responsible for any import taxes; this must be paid by the buyer. 

Are the ballet flats suitable for wide feet?

The shoes are standard width. For slightly wider feet they will work well as the leather shapes around the feet with wear. This can take some time. We also recommend sizing up for wider feet. 



You can send us a message with the width of your feet and we will check whether the ballet flats are likely to fit. For this we recommend measuring the foot as it rests flat on the floor; this is especially important if you have high arches or flat feet.



What if an item is out of stock?
We continuously create new and existing styles. Sign up for a back-in-stock notification on the page of the relevant listing or follow us on Instagram or Pinterest for new arrivals and back-in-stock posts. A production cycle takes 4–5 weeks and our bestsellers are typically back in stock within this timeframe. 



Please contact us for restocking information at hello@thewhiteribbon.com



Do you stock children’s sizes?
We do not provide these at the moment, but do check back as this is a work in progress.

Monitor differences 

Due to the vast color variances in every monitor and mobile device, we cannot guarantee the color will be an exact match to what you see online.
