Condition guide

Every piece we sell is preloved: it has had at least one owner. Each one gets one of four grades. The grade is a summary. The listing also names every flaw and shows a photo of each one.

The four grades

  • Like New. Barely worn. No visible signs of use; as close to new as preloved gets. A piece with any flaw cannot be Like New.
  • Excellent. Gently used, with only the faintest signs of wear. No holes, stains, pilling or repairs.
  • Very Good. Worn but well cared for. Minor visible wear, such as light pilling, a faint mark or slight fading. Each flaw is described and photographed.
  • Good. Plenty of life left, with clear signs of wear, such as visible fading, pilling or a small repaired area. Still fully wearable. Each flaw is described and photographed.

What we check

Before a piece is graded, we check the front, the back and the inside, the closures and seams, and the underarms, cuffs and hems. On shoes we also check the soles.

Between two grades

If a piece sits between two grades, it gets the lower one.

How to read a listing

Read the grade, then the condition note, then look at every photo. Measurements are taken by hand with the piece laid flat; How we measure explains each one.
