Because true vintage items range from untouched time-capsules to well-loved historical garments, we inspect every single item under bright studio lighting. We grade our inventory with total transparency so you can shop with absolute confidence.

​

• ✨ Mint / Deadstock: Flawless, pristine condition. These items are typically unworn and often retain their original vintage store tags, boxes, or packaging. No signs of age or wear.

• 💎 Near Mint: Looks and feels practically brand new. The item may have been worn once or twice historically, but shows no visible flaws, marks, or signs of aging. Museum or archival quality.

• 🌹 Excellent Wearable: In beautiful, strong condition and ready for regular wear. The item may show very light, acceptable vintage character (such as a tiny scuff inside a hat band or a microscopic thread pull) that does not distract from its beauty or structural integrity.

• 📜 Very Good (Minor Flaws): A highly wearable and gorgeous piece that has minor, acceptable vintage flaws. These are clearly detailed in the product description and photos (e.g., a faint storage smudge, a tiny professional repair, or a light water spot on a silk lining). Priced accordingly and perfect for everyday styling.

​

Note: We do not sell items with major structural damage, dry rot, or heavy odors. Every piece arrives clean, authenticated, and ready to be loved.
