Indicate how you want to pay, check your order and the shipping cost one last time and then click “Confirm my order”.

Can I get a scarf or hat reimbursed by my health insurance or mutuality?
With some health insurers and mutualities, you may be entitled to partial reimbursement of the cost of your headwear. The amounts vary from one organization to another, but it’s certainly worthwhile to check with your health insurance provider.
Some hospitalization or supplementary insurance plans also contribute to these costs. Always keep the official invoice or receipt you receive from us by e-mail, as you will need to present it to them.
Want to know more about the conditions and amounts? Read our up-to-date advice page on reimbursement for chemo hats & scarves.
Where can I find the official invoice for my purchases?
Right in your email inbox! As soon as you’ve completed your online payment, our webshop automatically sends you an official invoice by email. If you don’t see it in your inbox after a few minutes, be sure to check your spam or junk folder—occasionally the invoice may end up there.
Can I return my order if I’m not satisfied?
Not completely happy with your purchase? We’re sorry to hear that! Of course, you can return all or part of your order. Here’s how it works step by step:
Step 1: still in perfect condition?
- We only accept items in their original packaging, with all labels still attached, and clearly unworn: no traces of make-up, perfume, or smoke, not washed, and without damage or defects. Please also make sure no loose hairs remain after trying them on.
- For hygiene reasons, we have to be very strict. Items that don’t meet these return conditions cannot be refunded.
- Exception: beauty and care products cannot be returned or exchanged for hygiene reasons.

- Click on the account icon (top right) on our website to log in (if you are browsing on your phone, you will find the “Account” button at the bottom right).
- Enter your email address and then the 6-digit code sent to your email.
- Go to “My orders” to see an overview of your past orders.
- Click on the order containing the item you wish to return.
- Click the “Request a return” button.
- Select the product(s) you want to return and provide a reason.
- Click “Submit request”.
- Once your request has been reviewed and approved, you will receive an email with further instructions.
- Important: the return button only appears if your order is still recent and if the items meet the return conditions (e.g. beauty products cannot be returned).

Why is a chemo scarf or hat by Rosette la Vedette a better option than “ordinary” hats or scarves?
- Suitable for indoors: Most “ordinary” hats are designed to protect your head against the cold in winter, making them unsuitable for indoor use. Our chemo scarves and hats are designed with indoor wear in mind. They also look like a fashion accessory rather than an average hat.
- Soft and seamless: Our chemo scarves and hats are made of soft stretch fabric, without any irritating seams or elastic. This is important because chemo can make your scalp very sensitive. You can wear one of Rosette la Vedette’s scarves or hats all day without any problems.
- Volume: Our scarves and hats have folds and are gathered in all the right places to create natural volume. As a result, your head will not look any smaller without hair and people will be less likely to notice that you have lost your hair. We also factor this in when choosing new prints for our chemo headwear. We always select patterns that create more volume optically.
- Designed by an experienced expert: Wendy was 34 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to find comfy and trendy scarves and hats. As she was unable to find anything that was 100% to her liking, she decided to design her own, under the Rosette la Vedette brand name. Wendy has had cancer herself so she knows first-hand that chemo hats and scarves have to meet very strict requirements. And anyone who knows Wendy knows that she only believes in the highest quality. Only the best is good enough.
Which sizes are available?
All our scarves, hats and caps are ‘one size fits all’. So you don’t have to worry about sizes or head measurements. We have one standard size, which adapts nicely to every circumference because of the stretch fabrics. If you have a very small or large head and are worried about the fit, then send us an e-mail atservice@rosettelavedette.com. We will be happy to provide extra advice!
How do I wash and dry my scarf or turban?
1/ WASH AT MAX. 30 °C
Wash your scarf or hat at max. 30 °C and select a wash programme with a delicate spin cycle. A fast spin could cause it to shrink. Do you need to go into a sterile room? Your hat or scarf is suitable for a 60 °C wash programme but may wear out more quickly as a result.
2/ DON’T USE WOOL DETERGENT OR FABRIC SOFTENER
An ordinary laundry detergent is the best choice. Don’t use a special wool detergent, as this will cause piling and make the fabric wear out faster. If your skin becomes itchy or irritated easily, it’s best not to use fabric softener.
3/ USE A LAUNDRY BAG
Ideally, put your scarf or hat in a laundry bag. You’ll probably have one at home for washing lingerie. This is a particularly good tip if you opted for a model with long ribbons. This will prevent them from getting tangled up and stretched out amongst the rest of your washing.
4/ AND WHAT ABOUT TUMBLE DRYING?
Your scarf or hat may shrink in the tumble dryer. Handy if you have a small head and want to make your model fit a little more snugly. But unless tumble-drying is a necessity, it’s best to airdry your new purchase. If you would prefer to avoid clothes peg marks or the risk of stretching, lie it out to dry flat instead of hanging it on the line.
5/ IRONING IS POSSIBLE BUT NOT REQUIRED
Our hats and scarves don’t need to be ironed. You’ve probably got enough other things on your plate. But if you’d like your new headwear to be neatly ironed, then do it at a low temperature.
Can I wash my hat or scarf at 60° C during my stay in a sterile room?
Yes, they are perfectly equipped to deal with these higher temperatures so 60°C should not be a problem if you only do it occasionally. But only wash them at this temperature if you really need to. If you need wash your scarves or hats at a higher temperature frequently, you will have to bear in mind that they will “wear” more quickly than at lower washing temperatures. We recommend ordering a few different ones so you can alternate a bit more frequently. After all, you do exactly the same with shoes so you can enjoy them for longer.
