Condition Guide

Condition Guide

Each bag is carefully assessed. We favour honesty over perfection. Signs of wear are disclosed clearly, as they form part of the life of the piece. Every item is cleaned, handled and stored with care before release.

A softened handle, gentle patina, or light marking is not treated as a flaw, but as evidence of time and use.

Our condition grading is designed to be transparent, so you understand exactly where each piece sits within its lifecycle.

Pristine

Unworn or near-new condition. No visible signs of wear.

These pieces are as close to original boutique condition as possible, often retaining original structure, finish and detailing.

Gallery Ready

Excellent condition. Minimal, barely perceptible signs of wear.

A considered piece that presents beautifully. Any wear is subtle and does not detract from its overall presence.

Well Kept

Very good condition. Light, honest wear consistent with careful use.

These pieces show gentle signs of life while remaining structurally sound and refined in appearance.

Loved

Visible wear consistent with age and use. Structurally sound, with all imperfections fully disclosed.

These are pieces with character - signs of use are present, but the design integrity remains intact. Ideal for those who appreciate patina and history.

Every piece is individually assessed prior to release. We aim to represent condition with accuracy and restraint, so you can purchase with clarity and confidence.
