Absolutely obsessed
Absolutely obsessed with my new Rat & Boa pieces 🤍 The Majel Dress and the Flores Dress are both 10/10. The quality, fit and overall feel are incredible — they look so expensive on and fit like a dream. Such flattering cuts and the perfect balance of sexy and elegant. Honestly some of the best dresses I’ve bought in a long time ✨

Absolutely do no recommend
Absolutely do no recommend. Company is non responsive in email. I have been inquiring about my refund and my emails go in answered. The only email I did receive was an automatic email saying refund was processed, yet my credit card company has no refund from them. Beware of purchasing! In event the item doesn’t fit, you ma not be refunded

We completely understand how concerning this situation can feel, and we truly regret any worry caused by the delay in communication.

Great service
Dresses arrived promptly and the return service was very easy. The sequin dress I ordered is beautiful and seems very well made! The silk dress I ordered however seemed not worth the price as didn't seem very good quality.

Refunds not issued
I ordered multiple dresses for my wedding and sent them back due to them being ill-fitting.
All items were returned using a pre-paid postage label provided by Rat & Boa with proof of postage.
They claim a dress wasn't received in the parcel and are refusing to issue the refund.
The item was definitely in the parcel when I sent it, I'm not a thief and I would be able to tell if there was a dress sitting around in my house.
Under the consumer rights act the seller is liable for any issues during the courier process if they provide the prepaid label - which Rat & Boa did.
After various backwards and forwards they are still refusing to issue the refund so I will now have to take this further with the small claims court.
Extremely time consuming and unfair. I would never buy from this brand again and would recommend nobody else does either.

Hi Megan,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We take all returns and investigations extremely seriously and have conducted a full review in conjunction with both our warehouse team and our courier.
Following this investigation, we were unable to locate one of the returned items within the parcel received. As such, and in line with our returns policy, we were unable to process a refund for items not received.
We can confirm that our management team has now been in direct contact with you to resolve this.
If there is anything further we can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kindest Regards,
The Rat and Boa Team.

I've ordered from R&B before and will probably purchase again and again. The fabrics used feel luxurious. Website navigation is pretty easy and I love that there are different patterns and colours! Shipping is quick and easy.

Be careful, no response from customer care
Been trying to connect regarding the return of the item, due to the insufficient quality and inadequately high price for 7 days- no response. Still waiting. Not the best customer care. Be careful and think twice before making a purchase. Updated- finally after this review customer care responded and made a refund to the credit card.

Hi Inga,
We’re truly sorry to hear that you’ve had a frustrating experience, and we sincerely apologise for any confusion or disappointment caused. That’s certainly not how we want any of our customers to feel.
A prepaid return label was issued, and all the return details were included on the label so the parcel could be taken directly to the drop-off point. We can see that our team has since reached out to clarify this, but we’re very sorry if this wasn’t clear at the time or if you felt there was a delay in communication.
Please know we’re here to help and if there’s anything further we can assist with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
