How we authenticate
Every piece is inspected by hand before it lists. Here's exactly what that means — and what it doesn't.
What we check
- Labels & tags — brand label, care/content tag, size tag and any authentication label (QR, microchip, holograms), compared against known retail examples for the season.
- Construction — stitching density and alignment, seams, cuffs and hems.
- Prints & hardware — screen-print and embroidery quality, zippers, snaps and engraved hardware.
- Provenance — original receipts, price tags and packaging when we have them; we tell you when we do.
How we grade condition
- NEW New with tags, never worn.
- A Pre-owned, excellent — light wear at most, no flaws worth photographing.
- B Pre-owned, good — visible wear or a minor flaw, always written out and photographed.
When a piece sits between grades, we grade it down.
Our promise
If an item isn't as described, return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Authentication codes printed on labels (QR, Certilogo) are blurred in our photos so the first scan is yours.
