Avoid this company at all costs.
Avoid this company at all costs - they won’t refund my money.
Hoax company, fraudulent company.
I have reported the company to the Dutch authorities, industry regulators and my merchant will recall the payment
I ordered a pair of sunglasses from Lorenzi & Montague and received an item that was visibly different from what was advertised on their website. After raising the issue immediately and requesting a return and refund within the stated timeframe, customer service repeatedly denied the discrepancy despite photographic evidence.
Instead of honoring a straightforward refund request, they attempted to offer partial refunds of 20% and then 25% if I kept the incorrect item. At no point did they properly address the core issue: the product delivered did not match the product advertised.
The experience has been exhausting, dismissive, and incredibly frustrating. Communication felt scripted and designed to wear the customer down rather than resolve the problem fairly.
I have now escalated the matter formally and will also be pursuing a chargeback through my payment provider.
If you value transparent customer service, accurate product descriptions, and a company that respects consumer rights, I would strongly recommend shopping elsewhere.

Dear Manj,
Thank you for your message.
We understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused throughout this process.
After reviewing the matter again with our team, we regret to inform you that a full refund is not possible in this case. However, as a final gesture of goodwill and in an effort to resolve the matter amicably, the maximum compensation we are able to offer is a 30% refund while you keep the item.
We hope you can understand our position and consider this resolution.
Kind regards,
James

James,
Please read my previous emails carefully. I have repeatedly requested a full refund, and despite multiple attempts to resolve this amicably, my request continues to be ignored.
At this stage, unless my refund is processed in full immediately, I will have no option but to escalate this matter formally. This includes referring the matter to the relevant consumer protection authorities in the Netherlands, including the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), the European Consumer Centre (ECC), and pursuing legal remedies available under EU consumer protection legislation and distance selling regulations.
I will also consider initiating a chargeback process through my payment provider and documenting my experience publicly across review platforms and social media channels.
I would prefer to resolve this without further escalation, however your continued refusal to address a straightforward refund request leaves me with little alternative.
Please confirm, by return email, that the refund has been processed in full.
Kind regards
Manj
