Quality / Condition

We endeavour to provide quality vintage clothing and accessories however the nature of second hand items may show signs of wear. 

Our prices reflect any imperfections and the journey these pieces have made to be here for you.

 

We check our products for faults and list items we feel can still be loved.

Please check our items details/descriptions to acknowledge you feel the same.

The nature of vintage means it's old, used and has had a life already. Nothing we sell will be in perfect/brand new condition.

We inspect all items before listing them online, however our items are constantly being tried on in our shop.

Sometimes they may pick up body odours or wear more over time.

It's up to our customers to clean items before wear or repair items with minor faults.

 Each listing will state the condition of the item, however we can't control differing opinions on condition.

Please feel free to contact us should you require more pictures or details about a specific item.
