Condition Guide

Each piece at Valise Vault has been selectively sourced and thoughtfully inspected. As these are vintage and pre-owned luxury items, subtle signs of wear, aging, and character may be present and are considered part of the history of the piece.

Any notable wear or imperfections will always be reflected in the condition rating and clearly shown in listing photographs. We encourage reviewing all photos carefully prior to purchase to ensure confidence in your selection.

If you have any questions regarding condition, measurements, functionality, or additional details, we are always happy to assist via email before your order is placed.

Please note that all sales are final.

Pristine

Exceptional, collector-worthy condition with little to no visible signs of wear. The piece closely resembles its original boutique condition and may include original accessories such as a box, dust bag, tags, authenticity cards, or receipts when available.

Excellent

Beautifully maintained with minimal signs of wear, if any. Any imperfections are subtle and may only be visible upon close inspection. Any notable wear will be clearly disclosed in the product description and/or listing photographs.

Very Good

A well-preserved piece with moderate signs of wear consistent with age and careful ownership. Minor wear may be present to areas such as corners, edges, hardware, handles, straps, or the interior. The handbag retains its overall structure, functionality, and appearance, with no significant condition concerns. Any notable wear, discoloration, or surface markings will be clearly disclosed in the product description and/or listing photographs.

Good

Displays noticeable signs of wear and age that are visible upon inspection. Wear may include rubbing, creasing, scratches, scuffs, discoloration, moderate corner wear, hardware wear, or minor loss of shape. The handbag remains fully functional and structurally sound but shows more evident signs of use than pieces in Very Good condition. Any notable imperfections will be clearly disclosed in the product description and/or listing photographs.

Fair

Displays significant signs of wear and age throughout. Wear may include pronounced scratching, scuffing, staining, discoloration, material wear, loss of shape, corner wear, hardware wear, or interior wear. Cosmetic wear is readily apparent and should be expected. While the handbag remains functional, pieces in this category are often valued for their rarity, archival appeal, or collectible nature rather than condition alone. All notable imperfections will be clearly disclosed in the product description and/or listing photographs. Please review all photos and listing details carefully prior to purchase.
