You access the designers and we are the designers ‘agent’


The Look Boutique acts as an ‘agent’ to designers who act as ‘principals.’ The Look Boutique has a contract with the principal to comply with the Terms and Conditions, and The Look Boutique has the permission to sell certain pieces on behalf of designers. The Look Boutique does not directly own the product at anytime, and as such all transactions are completed by the designers themselves.  The ‘principal’ and ‘agent’ have put in place standards that form the Terms and Conditions to give you piece of mind.  The designer ‘principal’ is liable for the product and or service.


You agree that The Look Boutique is an agent and is not responsible or liable for the products and services at your own risk.
