Washing/Care Instructions:

Prior to washing, please be sure to read the tags on your labels for washing and drying instructions. Some items can damage in the washer and/or dryer if you do not follow the proper washing instructions. Rooted and Free is NOT responsible for faulty items due to lack of proper washing and drying. Most clothing items are recommended for hand wash and lay flat to dry. Once an item has been worn and/or washed, Rooted and Free is NOT responsible for damages to the garment and the garment will NOT be eligible for return or exchange. 

Please remember, boutique brands are more delicate and require proper care. Not only does this include proper washing but it includes watching your garments around children, pets, accessories, etc. Rings can pull your sweater, pets can scratch your dress, kids can drop something on your favorite top…you invest in your pieces when you shop, help them have the life they deserve by properly caring for them – we want you to get your money’s worth but it does take knowledge and a little extra love and intention!

Unexpected issue with your item?

We ask that you please inspect your order immediately upon receipt. While we inspect each item that comes into our boutique, we may miss something so we ask that you help be our extra set of eyes! If you believe you have received DEFECTIVE merchandise or the wrong item, you must contact us within 2 days of receipt of your items. Items that are defective upon receipt (without being worn or used) will be replaced (depending on item availability) or issued store credit. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Shop Rooted and Free reserves the right to refuse service if you are repeatedly unkind. We know everyone has bad days (we do too!) and while we love to extend lots of grace (because lets face it, we all need it!) if you are repeatedly unkind to our staff, we will ask that you take your business elsewhere. Kindness matters and we like to lift each other up around here!
