Terms & Conditions
Last updated: July 2026
Welcome to Sama Sama. These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of www.samasama.co.za ("the Website") and your purchase of products from our online store.
By using this Website or placing an order, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please refrain from using this Website.
About Sama Sama
Sama Sama is a South African clothing brand creating thoughtfully designed garments in limited quantities using a considered approach to design and production.
Throughout these Terms & Conditions, "Sama Sama", "we", "our" and "us" refer to Sama Sama.
Eligibility
By placing an order you confirm that:
-
you are at least 18 years of age or have the permission of a parent or legal guardian;
-
the information you provide is true and accurate;
-
you are authorised to use the payment method selected.
Orders
Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase a product.
All orders are subject to:
-
product availability;
-
payment authorisation;
-
acceptance by Sama Sama.
An order confirmation email confirms receipt of your order but does not constitute acceptance. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order before dispatch, including where products become unavailable, payment cannot be verified, pricing errors occur or fraudulent activity is suspected.
Should an order be cancelled after payment has been received, a full refund will be processed using the original payment method.
Pre-Orders
Certain Sama Sama pieces are available on a pre-order basis. This allows us to produce garments in thoughtful, limited quantities, helping us reduce overproduction while ensuring each piece receives the care and attention it deserves.
By placing a pre-order, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
Availability
Pre-order items are not yet in stock at the time of purchase. Production will begin, or may already be underway, once orders have been placed.
Estimated Dispatch Dates
Estimated dispatch dates are provided on each product page as a guide. While we do our best to meet these timeframes, production schedules may occasionally change due to factors outside of our control, including fabric availability, manufacturing timelines or shipping delays.
Should there be any significant delay, we will notify you via email as soon as possible.
Payment
Full payment is required at the time your pre-order is placed. This secures your garment within the production run and allows us to begin preparing your order.
Combined Orders
If your order contains both in-stock and pre-order items, your order may be shipped together once the pre-order item is ready. Should you require in-stock items sooner, we recommend placing separate orders.
Changes & Cancellations
As production is carefully planned according to customer orders, pre-order purchases cannot always be cancelled or amended once production has commenced. If you need assistance, please contact us as soon as possible and we'll do our best to help.
Our Approach
Producing in small batches allows us to create more intentionally, reduce unnecessary waste and focus on quality over quantity. Thank you for supporting a slower, more thoughtful approach to fashion.
Product Availability
Many Sama Sama garments are produced in small batches.
Although every effort is made to ensure accurate stock levels, inventory discrepancies may occasionally occur.
Should a product become unavailable after purchase, we will contact you promptly and offer either:
-
a full refund;
-
store credit; or
-
a suitable replacement, if available.
Product Information
We endeavour to ensure that all product descriptions, measurements, fabric compositions and imagery are as accurate as possible.
Please note:
-
colours may vary slightly between screens and devices;
-
natural fibres may display subtle variations in weave, texture or colour;
-
measurements are approximate and may vary slightly between garments.
These variations do not constitute manufacturing defects.
Pricing

Prices include VAT where applicable.
Prices may change without prior notice; however, once an order has been confirmed and accepted, the confirmed purchase price will apply.
Delivery charges are calculated separately during checkout.

Import duties, customs charges, local taxes and clearance fees imposed by the destination country remain the responsibility of the customer.
Pricing Errors
While we take reasonable care to ensure pricing accuracy, errors may occasionally occur.
If an incorrect product price or shipping charge has been displayed due to a technical, typographical or administrative error, Sama Sama reserves the right to cancel the affected order before dispatch.
If payment has already been processed, you will be notified as soon as reasonably possible and offered either:
-
a full refund; or
-
the opportunity to proceed with the purchase at the correct price.
