PRE-ORDERS

Pre-order status relates to an item which you are able to purchase in preview from the new collection or as limited edition. This typically means that the item is still in production when ordered and is not immediately available in our fulfillment center at that time. Once at checkout please verify if the product is in pre-order status and the estimated ship date associated with this item. If an order contains a pre-order item, the entire order will not ship until all items are in stock unless otherwise specified to our customer service team. Partial fulfillment of international orders is not available at this time. Expected ship dates may vary for pre-orders and are subject to change.
