Return & Exchanges in person at flaship store in Stockholm
Online orders can be returned or exchanged (in-person only) at our flagship store in Stockholm. The items have to be in the original condition, unwashed and with the original tags.
Do not send any items to our store address as we cannot accept packages from private individuals.
Please be aware that the store has their own process of how they deal with exchanges. First they have to register it as a return (issue a refund) and then make a new order in store to be paid when you are there. This is for the different cash-flows (store+online) to be accurate. This is quite common practice.
We don't always have all items in store, so if there is a specific item you are after, please contact us via help@ninepine.com to check the availability first.

PRODUCT SIZING
Sizing and care guide?
Sizing:
We always want to ensure that our clothing fits as best as possible when you receive it. You can find our size guides available on most of our ninepines product pages to help you find the best fit for you – first time!
To find out which size/length would be most suitable, we highly recommend taking your waist, hip and inner leg inseam measurements and comparing them to the sizing guide for the item you are after on the website.
How to take your measurements:
Waist: Measure the circumference of the narrowest part of your waist
Hip: Measure the circumference of the widest part of your hips
Inner leg inseam: Measuring from just below your crotch area to the end of your leg, to see which inseam length would be most suitable for how you would like them to fall on you (around ankle, below ankle, how you want they to fit with or without shoes)
Care Guide:
You can find the care instructions on the product page as well, under “Product Care”.
We recommend washing your ninepines inside out, on a gentle cold cycle with similar clothing and to air dry only.
Where is your size guide displayed?
The size guide is displayed on each product page and also includes a visual representation of some of the sizes and how it would look on you with regards to different height sizes.
Reviews for the products are also included at the bottom of the product page including information about how customers liked our product and how satisfied they were with how the product fitted them.
You will also find information about the materials used and washing tips – everything to make sure it fits perfectly and stays looking great.
