Product Information


Authentication

Authentication is an integral process for each piece that enters our selection. We apply a multi-step process, consisting of several verification checks to validate and ensure authenticity. This includes but is not limited to: comparison with authenticated reference items, inspection of stamps, date codes and serial numbers, fabrics and hardware, stitching and construction, and the overall workmanship of each piece. Each purchase comes with a guarantee of authenticity.

Sizing

Item-specific measurements are provided on each product’s page under the Measurements tab. To help ensure you select pieces with the optimal fit, we recommend comparing the provided measurements with a similar piece you already own.

If you require further information or guidance regarding a product’s sizing or fit, please reach out to us on any of our support channels.

Item Condition

Our collection consists of hand-selected pieces that date as far back as 30 years old. As such, they may have imperfections and signs of wear that are inherent to vintage. To help ensure you make the correct purchase, we strive to accurately describe the condition of each piece through these criteria:

 

Pristine Unused or virtually unworn pieces with no perceptible flaws
Excellent Well-preserved pieces with minimal and inconspicuous signs of wear
Very good Lightly worn pieces with minor wear from occasional use
Good Pieces showing noticeable signs of wear typical of regular use
Fair Pieces with substantial wear and visible damage throughout
