Valentino Bell-Sleeve Shift Dress

New

in new condition, that is, never used. This means the item may have been purchased by us from an authorised dealer or a store. “New” items may also be “pre-owned”, that is, purchased by one of our consignors and never used.  These items may have minor signs of handling – as would any item available at an authorised dealer or boutique – given that customers would reasonably handle an item when trying it on or examining it for purchase.

Very Good

Good

Used, may be an older or well-loved item. There may be slightly more noticeable signs of wear, scratches or marks.  These will not affect the wear or use of the item. Our descriptions and photographs will clearly indicate the condition of the item.

Vintage

Typically around 20 to just under 100 years old.  Our vintage items are carefully examined and selected. Most are gently or rarely used, meticulously stored or cared for and will come to you in a perfectly usable condition.  However, these are unique items which may be of a finer and more delicate nature than brand-new items so please be sensitive to this and have reasonable expectations of their resilience.

Used
