River Island: what is worth buying and returns policy

River Island: A High-Street Standout

Founded in London in 1948, River Island is celebrated for its bold, in-house designs—statement outerwear, vibrant co-ords, and striking occasionwear—released weekly and beloved on fashion-forward high streets.

What makes it worth buying?

• Denim & essentials: Often more reliable than budget fast-fashion counterparts.

• Statement pieces: Eye-catching prints and luxe tailoring stand out.

• Quality caveat: Good materials and construction, but sizing—especially slim cuts—can run small.

Returns?

• 28-day return window (unworn, tags still on).

• Free in-store returns; £2.95 fee for mail-back.

• Refunds to the original payment or gift card; in-store usually same day, warehouse returns processed within 24 hours.

The Sizing Challenge 

River Island is known for tighter cuts—hips, waist, shoulders—which often make shoppers size up. But guesswork leads to mismatches and returns.

Fortunately, Tellar.co.uk has you covered.
