Every piece we carry is pre-loved and one-of-a-kind. The condition grade above tells you what to expect — here's exactly what each grade means.
No visible flaws, or so minor they're only noticeable up close. No holes, stains, odours, or repairs — as close to new as vintage gets.
Minor, honest wear consistent with age — light pilling, slight fading, maybe one very small mark. Nothing structural, nothing that affects wearability.
Noticeable wear that doesn't compromise the garment — visible fading, light bobbling, small marks, or a professionally repaired seam. Fully wearable and true to its age.
Wear is obvious — moderate staining, thinning fabric, small holes, or a missing embellishment. Still structurally sound and wearable, always disclosed in full in the listing photos.
Sold for its rarity or design history rather than as ready-to-wear. Any significant flaws are called out specifically in the listing description and photos.

Accessories & Hats
Most accessories are one-size and open to anyone. For hats, we list the internal circumference — measure around your head just above the ears with a soft tape, keep it comfortably snug, and compare to the piece.
| Hat Size | Internal Circumference |
|---|---|
| S | 54–55 cm |
| M | 56–57 cm |
| L | 58–59 cm |
| XL | 60–61 cm |
Approximate — vintage hats vary, so the listed circumference on each piece is what counts.
