Overview

Because every piece in our collection is hand-picked, pre-loved, or vintage, each item carries its own unique history and character. To ensure complete transparency, our quality team evaluates and ranks every item using our strict 4-point Condition Scale before listing it on our storefront. We believe that knowing exactly what you are purchasing is the cornerstone of sustainable fashion.

Condition Rating Breakdown

Rating	Description	What to Expect
Pristine / Deadstock	Unworn vintage or thrift item.	Original tags often attached; no visible flaws or age marks.
Excellent Pre-Loved	Lightly worn with minimal signs of use.	Free of stains, holes, or heavy fading. Fabric retains full structural integrity.
Very Good	Gentle vintage character and minor wear.	May show subtle wash wear, minor pilling, or small cosmetic quirks noted in the description.
Reworked / Upcycled	Restored, tailored, or altered by our team.	A unique piece modified with floral patches, custom embroidery, or tailored cuts to give it a second life.

How We Detail Flaws

If an item has a specific quirk (such as a missing secondary button, minor patina on hardware, or natural distressing), we follow two strict transparency rules to ensure you are fully informed:

Close-Up Photography: We provide high-resolution macro photos highlighting the exact area of wear.
Item Notes: We include a dedicated bulleted summary in the Item Details tab on the product page.
