Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
