HOW WE CARE
Caring for Sustainability : A Guide to Maintaining Odette Products
SLOW FASHION, PLEASE.
Welcome to our guide on caring for sustainability. At Odette, we are committed to producing products that not only reflect quality and style but also prioritize sustainability throughout their lifecycle. This dedication to sustainability extends beyond our manufacturing processes and into the hands of our customers. Proper care of Odette products and those from our suppliers is essential to ensure their longevity and minimize environmental impact. In this guide, we’ll explore simple yet effective ways to care for your Odette items, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.
Understand the Materials
Begin by familiarizing yourself with the materials used in your Odette product. Whether it’s clothing, accessories, or home goods, each item may require specific care techniques based on its composition.
Check the product label or our website for information on materials and care instructions. Understanding the materials will help you choose the right cleaning methods and prolong the life of your item.
Follow Care Instructions
Adhering to care instructions is crucial for maintaining the quality and sustainability of your Odette products. These instructions are designed to minimize environmental impact while preserving the integrity of the item.
Wash clothing items in cold water whenever possible to conserve energy and reduce color fading. Use eco-friendly detergents that are gentle on fabrics and the environment.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage materials and contribute to water pollution. Opt for natural stain removers or spot-cleaning methods instead.
For accessories and home goods, follow specific care guidelines provided by Odette or the supplier. This may include avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures or using specialized cleaning products.
Repair and Repurpose
Embrace the mindset of repair and repurpose to extend the lifespan of your Odette products. Minor repairs, such as sewing a loose seam or replacing a button, can prevent the need for premature disposal.
Explore creative ways to repurpose items that have outlived their original purpose. An old garment can be transformed into a new accessory or household item through upcycling projects.
If your Odette product reaches the end of its usable life, consider donating it to a local charity or textile recycling program. By diverting items from landfills, you contribute to a more sustainable waste management system.
Store with Care
Proper storage is essential for preserving the quality of your Odette products between uses. Store clothing items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration.
For accessories and home goods, store them in a similar manner to prevent damage and maintain their appearance. Consider using natural materials such as cotton or bamboo for storage solutions.
Spread the Message
Share your knowledge and passion for sustainability with others in your community. Encourage friends and family to adopt sustainable practices when caring for their belongings.
Engage with Odette and our suppliers on social media platforms to learn more about our sustainability initiatives and share your experiences. Together, we can inspire positive change and create a more sustainable future.
Caring for sustainability is a journey that begins with simple actions and conscious choices. By following the guidelines outlined in this guide, you play a vital role in preserving the integrity of Odette products and supporting sustainable practices. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards a more sustainable future.
LOVE.

Upon acceptance of your payment, you are redirected to a payment confirmation page. You will then receive a confirmation email which summarizes the details of your order. If you have not received this email, please check your email spam folder. If necessary, we invite you to contact our service indicating the date and amount of the order.
Is it possible to cancel my order ?
After receiving the confirmation email for your order you can no longer cancel it. However, you will be able to return the items within 14 days of receipt, for a refund.
I still haven’t received my order, is this normal ?
Check that your order has been taken into account by logging into your ODETTE CONCEPT account. You will find the status of your order in your order history. By clicking on the tracking number of your order you will be redirected to the website of the service provider you have chosen in order to track your package. If after 10 working days you have not received anything, contact our customer service with your tracking number.
What are the delivery times ?
We know how important it is to receive an order as quickly as possible. Thus, ODETTE CONCEPT selects carriers adapted to our needs and makes every effort to respect the announced delivery conditions as much as possible.
After confirmation of the order, we will send the items ordered to the address you have declared in eco-responsible packaging. Typical delivery time with economy shipping is 2-5 business days, for Switzerland. Depend on the provider.
For orders from abroad, delivery time can be longer.
What are the shipping fees ?

Payment & returns
How to make a payment ?
We accept payments via credit card, Visa and Mastercard.
After confirming my order, when will I be charged ?
Once your order has been validated and after authorization from your bank, your account will be debited.
Is the payment secured ?
Payment is 100% secure. Transactions carried out on www.odetteconcept.com are secured by the payment system of our banking partner. All information exchanged to process the payment is encrypted using the SSL protocol. This data cannot be detected, intercepted or used by third parties. They are also not stored on our computer systems. When you are asked to enter your credit card number, you can check from your browser that you are in a secure area. These areas are identifiable by the address which then begins with https as well as by a closed padlock or a key at the bottom of your browser. For your security, the Stripe system verifies that the connection with your browser is secure before sending your financial data. Stripe is a service provider and does not handle disputes related to orders. These must be settled directly with ODETTE CONCEPT or with your bank. In addition, we have 3D secure which helps prevent fraud by verifying the identity of the owner of the bank card.

I paid by credit card, I still haven’t received a confirmation email ?
If payment by credit card worked and you have not received an order confirmation email within 5 minutes of placing your order, check that the email is not in your email spam file. Bank verification sometimes takes a little longer (security procedures) which means that the order is not immediately authorized and must be validated manually.
