Vintage items conditions guide
Conditions Guide:
Our items are vintage, thrift-ed and pre-loved, some have been loved a lot more than others and in different ways, so they do come as they are. Most items have been worn, but occasionally we do get some in absolute mint conditions, and some new old-stock. We will always check and describe the item to the best of our ability and please do always check the product description for any possible flaws mentioned. Most common conditions are missing buttons, slight signs of wear or staining at the insides of the collar, bottom or armpit areas. Some may have been repaired by their previous owners. But rest assured, we will never sell anything which we will not want to wear ourselves (in fact we often wish we could keep them all!)
All our items go by the following rating system:
Mint - These are usually new old-stock which have never been worn.
Excellent - Pre-loved but with no visible flaws.
Very Good - Minor flaws, almost not visible.
Good - Minor flaws, some visible.
Fair - More than 2 flaws, some of which could be repaired.
Tags:
Should there be any tags, we will reflect this in our product description. But do understand that many vintage items were handmade thus they come without tags, or have had their tags taken off by their previous owners for various reasons (some were apparently placed at the strangest places which did not facilitate comfort for the wearer)! But we particularly love these handmade items, you can truly see the workmanship of the past and how delicate stitches were and how much care was put into it.
Photo representation:
As different monitors will display colors different, please note that the colours shown on your screen may vary from the actual colour of the garment. However, our photos will try to reflect as exact a representation of the item as possible. Should there be any gross misrepresentation, please feel free to contact us at ask@happylaundryday.com.
