Hello Robin Van Impe,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry that your experience has been frustrating and we completely understand how disappointing it can be when a product doesn’t meet your expectations.
First of all, we’d like to reassure you that we do have a dedicated customer service team, and the correct way to reach us is via contact@latelierdemalte.com
. When contacting us, please make sure to include your order number, as this allows us to identify your request quickly and handle it efficiently. If you have already written to us, we sincerely apologize if your message was not answered as promptly as expected due to the holiday period, response times may be slightly longer, and we are actively working to reduce this delay.
Regarding the product itself, we would like to clarify a few points. The bag’s design including its compartment structure is intentional and clearly visible on our product pages. We always encourage customers to carefully review photos and descriptions prior to purchasing to ensure the design matches their expectations.
As for the initial smell you mentioned, this can occasionally occur with new items due to packaging and transport conditions and usually dissipates after the bag is aired out.
We absolutely do not make returns “difficult” on purpose. Our return policy is available on our website, and once your request is reviewed by our support team, we will of course provide an appropriate solution in line with this policy.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at contact@latelierdemalte.com
, clearly mentioning your order number, so we can look into your case and assist you as quickly as possible. Customer satisfaction remains our top priority, and your feedback helps us improve.
Kind regards,
The Customer Care Team
