Michael Kors allows returns within 30 days of purchase. Items must be in original packaging and condition. Refunds go to your original payment method or as merchandise credit, depending on how you paid.

How returns work

You can return items by mail with a pre-paid label that Michael Kors provides, or in-store if you bought online. To start a mail return, select the Start a Return link, choose your items, affix the pre-paid label to your package, and follow the on-screen instructions. In-store returns require you to print a returns slip. Exchanges are available in-store or by mail, but mail exchanges are not facilitated by the retailer.

Exclusions and restrictions

Underwear, custom-made items, face masks, and gift cards cannot be returned. Clearance items are final sale. Swimwear may be returned within 30 days only if new, unused, unwashed, in good condition, and in original packaging with hangtags and hygiene strips attached. Returns made with PayPal (online), AliPay (in-store), or as gifts are limited to store credit or exchange only, with no refunds issued.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original payment method or as merchandise credit. The timing depends on your payment method. Cash and check purchases receive refunds by mailed check. PayPal purchases are refunded as store credit only. Klarna and Shop Pay purchases must be returned by mail and are not eligible for in-store returns. Afterpay refunds are processed by Afterpay; if you have no receipt, the refund goes to a gift card instead.
