FAQs

ORDERS AND PAYMENT

We accept payment by most major credit and debit cards including American Express, ShopPay, PayPal, Clearpay and Klarna.

From checkout, you will be taken to our secure payment provider Shopify or Clearpay, Paypal or Klarna. 

All transactions are secure and encrypted. We never store your credit card information. To learn more, view our privacy policy.

You have to agree to our terms and conditions before placing an order.

Firstly please check your spam or junk folder.

In the case of payments made but where Winternational has not received an order or payment, there are security settings in our checkout process ensuring payment are declined where security checks fail. This is to protect us as well as all our customers from fraud. 

Even if your bank is willing to approve the transaction, we won't honour the transaction if we are informed security checks failed.

If your bank has already approved the transaction and our bank is declining it, you may see a temporary approval from your bank. This is not a payment to us, and your bank should be able to confirm this for you. The approval will fail in a short time and the funds visible again in your account. The time this takes varies from bank to bank.

In summary, your bank has said this transaction is OK, our payment system said, no it's not (based upon a set of rules in place to protect us, their customer), so the payment was not taken. You are seeing your bank's approval, not a payment.

FUR

Winternational respects there are a range of opinions as to the use of real fur.

All our ski jackets look great without fur. Any time you prefer to buy an item without fur (if it's not available on the website) please email us and we will happily arrange this for you.

The fur our suppliers use is nearly all from Saga Furs of Finland and all are sustainably and ethically sourced. Animal welfare and humane treatment is important to us and all the designers we stock. 

Fur is a by-product of animal farming, in a similar way to meat production for human or animal consumption, shoe or handbag leather or shearling. Animals whose fur is used for clothing are also used for many other products, including protecting and waterproofing leather, in the global cosmetic industry, in the production of pet food, bio-fuels and organic fertilisers. 

Fur is regarded by some as far more sustainable than chemically produced fake fur. Fake fur is now being found in landfills and in the ocean as it can take up to 500 years to biodegrade. Real fur starts the degrading process within 7 days and is fully degraded within 2 years. 

Fur is a natural product.

Colour and fullness may differ slightly from items in photographs and from garment to garment.

AFTERCARE

Fur is a natural product and so each piece is slightly different. Some of the fur we sell may have been colour treated and we don't recommend wearing it in rain.

Fur should be removed carefully before garments are laundered or dry cleaned. 

Please undo each popper/snap/stud carefully and individually - not by ripping the fur hood/trim off like a plaster. 

Fur can be cleaned by specialist fur/leather companies. Winternational takes no responsibility for any specialist cleaning services you may choose to purchase.

You can read up on how to take care of your ski wear here. 

Please follow the care advice in the garment. Most product descriptions on our website carry simple laundry/specialist cleaning instructions.

You can read more about taking care of your ski wear on our blog post here. 

We're proud to say that looked after well, most ski wear lasts for years. Staff here have Winternational.co.uk ski wear dating back to our first season in 2006 and it's still looking beautiful.

Please don't wear your ski wear in heavy rain. Ski wear is made for snow and cold weather conditions. 

Please do not put your damp garment in a plastic bag. Dry carefully before storage. 

You can store your ski wear in a garment bag like this one. 

We recommend hanging your ski jacket after laundering on a wide shouldered hanger. This allows the insulation and/or down to aerate again. 

Most ski wear is not suitable for tumble driers so check the care label.

Over time, you may wish to reproof your garment/s. Such products are a wonderful way of making your ski wear last longer and for caring for your ski wear properly.

Winternational.co.uk takes no responsibility for reproofing/laundry/specialist cleaning instructions. Any laundering/specialist cleaning is done at your own risk.

Leather

  • Use a shoe brush with soft bristles to get out any dirt in the stitching whilst the boots are dry. 
  • Use a soft damp cotton cloth and mild soap diluted with water to remove any dirt. 
  • You can apply a leather conditioner to your boots which will help with the cleaning process and soften your boots a bit.
  • After cleaning and drying, you should apply a wax or polish to any patent leather to protect from future dirt plus help to waterproof the leather. 

Suede

  • Only use a clean soft suede brush to clean suede.
  • It's vital to brush in the same direction. Failure to do this may result in discolouration of your boots. 
  • Finish with a spray especially formulated for suede leather and intended for protection against water and stains.  
  • If there is a deep stain or ingrained dirt, Inuikii recommends you seek the advice of a professional who works with suede. 
  • Regular brushing with a clean soft suede brush can extend the life of your suede boots. 

Sole

  • The simplest way to clean the rubber sole is with a magic eraser sponge.
  • First brush any dried dirt off with a toothbrush (an old one is best!)
  • If there is still dirt present, wet the eraser sponge with a drop of water and rub just on the sloe of the boot. 
  • Or you can try a bit of handsoap and a clean soft cloth. 
  • After cleaning the sole with your preferred products, remove any excess moisture with a clean damp towel and leave footwear to dry.
