I bought a jacket, which did arrive, but was of lower quality than shown in the photographs. The size was typical of Chinese clothing, which is too small for western bodies. I attempted to get the item changed, but Navara is now ignoring my messages, despite the claim that returns within 30 days will be honoured. Scam Detector regards the website as untrustworthy.

For the 11th time, you’ve voted us your Most Trusted Brand and that means the world to us.

Because trust this strong doesn’t happen by chance. One year? That’s nice. Ten years? That’s a perfect score. But eleven? That’s off the charts.
You feel it in the little things, like the barista who knows your coffee order, the gardener who prunes your roses just right, and friends who feel like family.
That’s trust built over time, through shared experiences, thoughtful gestures and communities who care. It’s that feeling of trust that sets us apart.
Whether it’s your first visit or you call a village home, that feeling of trust is what sets us apart.
