Something Special

Something Special is our subscription service for new, small batches of made-to-order items, each a bit different than the next. By signing up, you will automatically receive something special delivered to you after the 15th of each month. You will be charged on the same day of your sign-up day, each month. For example, if you subscribe on January 2nd, each month, you will be charged on the 2nd for your subscription. You can sign up here. As each item is made special for each of our subscribers, subscription items are final sale.

All subscribers that sign up BEFORE the 15th of the month will receive the gift for the month they subscribed for.  Subscribers that sign up ON or AFTER the 15th of the month will receive the gift for the subsequent month they signed up on.

e.g.  if you subscribe on January 10th, you will receive the January gift.  If you subscribe on January 15th you will receive the February gift.   The 14th is the cut off for each month's gift to ensure we can fulfill each subscribers gift and that we are able to provide our artisans with what they need in advance.

You will need to have an account in order to manage your subscription. If you need to create an account, you can click on Account at the top right or bottom right of our website using the same email address that you used to place your order. 

You can manage your subscription and account information here on the subscription management page. You can also update your address, credit card information, and pause or cancel your subscription on the subscription management page. 

Once you have created an account, you can also navigate to the subscription management page by logging into your account and clicking on “Manage Subscription” on the top left of your account page.


Something Special Shipping

Our artisans work hard to ensure every item is created to delight our community. Due to the handcrafted nature of our Something Special items, your monthly delivery may take a little longer to get to you. We sincerely appreciate your patience.  We aim to have each months gift to be shipped by the end of each month.  Please notify us if your delivery is more than 3 weeks late by emailing community@brothervellies.com. 

Please note, all international Something Special orders are shipped via USPS. If you live outside the U.S., our shipment of products to you may be subject to customs duties, export or import taxes or other charges which are separate from the shipping charges and are your responsibility upon delivery.


Order Processing

When you submit an order, we will make all diligent efforts to get your items to you in a timely manner. Please note, once your order ships, no changes can be made to the shipping address.

Processing time for standard orders may vary and take up to 5 business days. Express orders are processed the same day, if received by 12PM EST, Monday - Friday. Orders placed after 12PM EST will begin processing the following business day.  Orders placed on the weekend will begin processing the following Wednesday as we are closed on Monday and Tuesday.  These processing times may be extended due to holidays.

Brother Vellies does ship internationally and advises opting for DHL for international delivery when checking out. Customs and import duties may be applied to international orders when the shipment reaches its destination. Such charges are the responsibility of the recipient of the order and vary from country to country. Contact your local customs office for details.

Brother Vellies is not responsible for any items that are lost in transit or stolen upon delivery.  Please contact the respective shipping provider on any claims of lost or stolen packages.

International Orders

If you live outside the U.S., our shipment of products to you may be subject to customs duties, export or import taxes or other charges which are separate from the shipping charges and are your responsibility upon delivery. Please check your local customs authority’s website for more information. We unfortunately have no control over the import/export fees each country establishes on footwear and accessories items. If you refuse the duties payment, the product will be shipped back to us. 


Order Tracking

Order tracking information can be found when you sign into your account, on the order status page. If you checked out as a guest, your tracking number can be found in your shipping confirmation email. Please double-check your spam folder for shipping and delivery confirmation emails.


Custom Orders

All custom orders and preorders are final sale and can not be returned or exchanged.


Sample Sale

Our Annual Sample Sale is here! This is the place to find one-off, unique samples, production seconds at special prices, and exclusive small runs of limited edition styles. All sample sale items are final sale and can not be returned or exchanged.

Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully:

1. All sales are final. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any refunds or exchanges for sample sale items. Price adjustments will not be made.

2. Items may vary from product images. Some items will have been worn by models for photoshoots and some may be faulty/second pieces. Some pieces may have faults that are not that visible. Items may not be in their original boxes or packaging. Please remember, you are buying samples, seconds, and/or one-of-a-kind archives and they may not be exactly like full-priced production or perfect. We've priced the items to reflect this.

3. We cannot offer express delivery on sample sale orders. Due to the volume of orders placed over the sample sale our delivery times will be a little longer. Please allow up to two weeks for your items to be shipped.

4. It may be possible that the item you have purchased is out of stock (due to the fast paced purchasing - in the past it has been possible for two people to check out with the exact same item in their basket at exactly the same time). This is rare, but it may happen. If for any reason an item is out of stock, we will get in touch with you as soon as possible to offer an alternative or issue a refund. All orders are not fully confirmed, until packed up and shipped by our team.

5. We will be updating our sample sale throughout the sale period, so do keep checking back!
