Of course, buying new clothing doesn’t require much thought about condition. It’s always pretty much brand spanking new. If you’re familiar with vintage clothing, you know there’s a lot of poorly cared for stuff out there that isn’t worth much in its present condition. We only buy things that have been well cared for so all you have to do is enjoy them. We take great pride in sending out pieces that are clean and free of smells, stains and moth damage. While things may be in unbelievable condition, these things ARE vintage. You just can’t compare them to things that were made yesterday. We’ve graded our clothing and accessories so you can quickly check out an item without a lot of technical mumbo-jumbo. Take a couple of seconds to get familiar with ’da system’ and you’ll always have a clear idea of any flaws or issues a piece may have. Flawless = Mint condition with no flaws at all. There won’t be any stains, tears, discolouration or other nastiness. Excellent = Will show some very minor wear, such as a washing or hardware on a handbag has a hairline scratch. The distinction between "flawless" and "excellent" here at Fossil Vintage is often as subtle as the change in a cotton shirt after being washed only one time. Very Good = Shows some expected wear for its age, like slight softening from being washed and some all-over fading. Handbags may have a few shallow scuffs or slightly less than pristine interior. Good = There may be a shadow stain on a dress or a weakening of the leather on a purse. Great for photo shoots or for reconstruction but not for general wear. |
