Last updated: [07/05/2026]
1. Overview
House of Vere is a luxury boutique offering limited-run Scottish tartan garments, accessories, and heritage-inspired pieces. Our tartans are woven for our brand and selected items are made to order, hand-finished, or produced in small quantities.
By purchasing from House of Vere, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

2. Availability of House of Vere Products
House of Vere products are available to both the public and verified members.
The House of Vere tartan remains deeply connected to the Weir/Vere bloodline and the wider heritage preserved through the Royal Dragon Court. However, our garments and accessories may be purchased by customers who wish to wear, support, and honour the House of Vere legacy.
Verification is not required to purchase House of Vere products unless clearly stated on a specific bespoke or private commission.

Genealogical verification is used to confirm membership connection to the Weir/Vere bloodline and the House of Vere heritage.
Verified members may receive:
Exclusive member discounts
Special offers
Priority access to selected releases
Access to members-only promotions where available
Verification is therefore used for membership benefits and discounts, not as a general restriction on purchasing.
To receive member discounts, customers must complete the House of Vere/Royal Dragon Court verification process before placing an order. Discounts cannot always be applied retrospectively after an order has been placed.

Some limited releases, private commissions, or member collections may have separate conditions, which will be clearly stated at the time of purchase.

5. Our Tartan: Craftsmanship & Transparency
The House of Vere tartan is woven specifically for the brand and is not mass-produced fabric. Each weaving run requires significant investment, with minimum weaving costs often reaching several thousand pounds per tartan batch.
The final price of each garment reflects:
Exclusive tartan production
Premium cloth
Professional tailoring
Cut, Make & Trim work
Hand-finishing where applicable
Packaging
Postage and handling
Brand design and administration time
House of Vere focuses on quality, heritage, and small-batch production rather than disposable or mass-market fashion.

Many House of Vere items are made to order or produced in limited batches. Estimated timelines may include:
Tartan weaving: up to 6 months
Tailoring, finishing, and garment construction: an additional 4–8 weeks
Dispatch after completion: usually 3–7 working days
These times are estimates only and may vary depending on mill capacity, seasonal demand, fabric availability, tailoring queues, and postage services.
By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept that House of Vere operates as a slow-fashion, heritage boutique and that waiting times may apply.

7. Made-to-Order Policy
Made-to-order garments are created specifically for the customer. For this reason:
Cancellations may not be accepted once production has begun
Made-to-order garments are non-refundable unless faulty
Tailored garments are non-returnable unless faulty
Faults must be reported within 14 days of receipt
Customers are responsible for providing accurate measurements
Alterations due to incorrect sizing may incur additional tailoring costs
This does not affect your statutory rights.

8. Pricing & Transparency
All prices listed on the website are based on the cost of cloth, weaving, tailoring labour, CMT work, packaging, administration, design, postage, and boutique production costs.
Where VAT or taxes apply, this will be displayed in accordance with the website’s payment and checkout system.
Postage costs are the responsibility of the customer and will be shown at checkout where applicable.

9. Shipping & Delivery
Once your item has been completed:
UK orders will usually be shipped via a tracked service
International orders will be sent using an appropriate tracked courier or postal service
Tracking information will be provided once available
Shipping costs may include packaging, handling, and insurance where applicable

All House of Vere designs, logos, tartan patterns, branding, images, written content, and product concepts are protected intellectual property and trademark.
Reproduction, copying, imitation, or unauthorised use of House of Vere material is prohibited.

11. Customer Responsibility
Customers are responsible for:
Reading product descriptions before ordering
Understanding production and waiting times
Providing accurate measurements
Providing correct shipping details
Completing verification if they wish to receive member discounts
Checking whether an item is made to order before purchasing
House of Vere garments often involve specialist weaving, tailoring, finishing, and Cut, Make & Trim work. Multiple skilled craftspeople may be involved in creating each piece, and this forms part of the final price.

Refunds & Returns Policy
House of Vere does not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges for change of mind, incorrect sizing supplied by the customer, or delays within the stated production period.
All bespoke, made-to-order, personalised, tailored, or specially commissioned items are created specifically for the customer and are therefore non-refundable and non-returnable once production has begun.
This includes tartan garments, tailored pieces, bespoke commissions, and any item made or ordered especially for the customer.
Faulty items must be reported within 14 days of receipt, with photographs and a clear description of the issue. If an item is confirmed to be faulty, House of Vere will offer an appropriate remedy in line with UK consumer law.
This policy does not affect your statutory rights.

Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction-

The House of Vere, a luxury boutique, uses only Scottish woolen mills for handmade tartan garments, thereby already complying with this standard. However, we also partner with other wholesale companies for products that do not fall under the category of Scottish heritage garments. We have sourced the most ethical companies to provide these products, and this is the company statement from our outsourcing.

Our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chain is something we take extremely seriously.

We are committed to taking all reasonable steps to combat modern slavery and human trafficking through the implementation and development of best business practices.

We aim to reach our commercial goals while conducting our operations at the House of Vere in a reputable, responsible manner.

This statement outlines the steps we have taken and plan to take in 2024/2025 to identify, understand, and minimize potential risks relating to modern slavery and human trafficking within our business structure and supply chain.

Our Structure and Business

Beechfeilds, referred to as the Company, not only employs individuals directly but also maintains relationships with various organizations in its supply chain and customer base.

We operate four leading textile accessory brands, supplied to the rebranding, personalization, and promotional industry. The brands are distributed through a network of distribution partners operating throughout Europe. We have 60 permanent employees.

Our global annual turnover is approximately £60 million.

Our Supply Chains

Our supply chains include our factory base, covering raw materials and manufacturing, logistics suppliers, as well as ‘not for resale’ goods and service providers to cover fixtures and fittings used in our offices, IT equipment, utilities, waste services, marketing, advertising, accounting, legal, professional services, recruitment, and training.

Our suppliers vary in size, expertise, and industry, and many are themselves reliant on their own supply chain to provide goods or services to us.

The factories we work with manufacture the products we sell to our customers. Our factory base predominantly consists of suppliers based in China, India, Pakistan, and more recently Vietnam. We have established good working relationships with our factories, many of which we have collaborated with for a significant number of years.

Our Policies and Due Diligence Processes on Slavery and Human Trafficking

We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, ensuring transparency in our operations and our approach to tackling modern slavery throughout our supply chains, consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

We recognize that our supply chain predominantly operates in countries where the risk of modern slavery, child labor, and human trafficking is higher than in most other countries. Therefore, we have implemented and enforced effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place in our business or any of our supply chains.

We expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers, and other business partners. As part of our contracting processes, we include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory, or trafficked labor, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children, and we require that our suppliers uphold these same high standards with their own suppliers.

The Company’s recruitment is conducted through our human resources department and department managers, supported by recruitment agencies when necessary. All screening, interviewing, and assessing is performed in-house. The process includes conducting thorough ‘Right to Work’ checks for all employees to safeguard them against human trafficking or being forced to work against their will.

The Company operates an open-door policy, encouraging all employees to report any concerns regarding matters involving the business or supply chains in connection with modern slavery or human trafficking.

To further prevent modern slavery in our business and supply chain, we continuously review our systems and procedures to:

- Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains.

- Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains.

- Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains.

- Protect whistleblowers through our Whistleblowing Policy.

Training

Training on this policy, and on the risks our business faces from modern slavery in its supply chains, forms part of staff coaching and development as necessary.

Our Effectiveness in Combating Slavery and Human Trafficking

We will monitor the effectiveness of our practices to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking do not occur in our business or supply chains.

This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year ending 31st December 2025.
