How to Return An Online Order
We don’t include prepaid return labels to help reduce our carbon footprint. To return or exchange your order, U.S. customers can start the process by selecting a method at the top of this page.
- Enter your order number and email address linked to the order. Be sure to include "#" to the order number when processing.
- Follow the prompts to choose your return or exchange.
- Print your return label from the confirmation email and attach it to your package. Place the packing slip inside the box.
Important: Don’t mix items from different orders in one package, and don’t split a return into multiple boxes. This can delay processing by up to 14 business days.
Exchanges
To exchange an item, start an online standard return and select the exchange option. Choose the replacement item and we’ll ship it out once it's scanned back into stock by our fulfillment center. You’ll get an email with tracking info once it’s on its way.
Final Sale Exchange: If you purchase an item marked Final Sale and the size doesn’t work out, we may be able to accommodate a size exchange if the same item is available in another size. While final sale items are not eligible for returns or refunds, we’re happy to do our best to help with a size swap when possible.
Please note that exchanges are subject to inventory availability, and if the requested size is not in stock, we unfortunately won’t be able to accommodate the exchange.
To request a size exchange, please contact info@caracaranyc.com with your order number within 14 days of your order delivery. Our team will review availability and assist if a swap can be arranged.
Note: If you’re exchanging, you won’t receive a refund and you won’t pay the $10 return shipping fee.

Price adjustments apply only to the same style, size, and color, and the item must be in stock and available at the lower price at the time of the request.
