To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it. We will not refund items that have become broken or damaged after purchase.

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and the funds will be sent to your original method of payment. If your item(s) have clearly been used, returned in a poorer state than they were sent out, or returned to us after 30 days from the purchase date, we reserve the right to not process the refund.
Customers must return their order at their own cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy vintage?
Buying vintage clothing is a sustainable and ethical choice, contrasting with the fast fashion industry in several ways:
- Environmental Impact: Vintage clothing is pre-owned, reducing the demand for new production. Fast fashion, on the other hand, is notorious for its excessive resource consumption, pollution, and waste.
- Quality: Vintage items often boast higher craftsmanship and durability compared to fast fashion garments, which are designed for quick turnover.
- Unique Style: Vintage pieces offer one-of-a-kind styles that stand out from the homogenous trends of fast fashion. You can express your individuality and avoid the "cookie-cutter" look.
- Ethical Concerns: Fast fashion frequently relies on cheap labor and questionable working conditions in low-wage countries. Vintage shopping avoids supporting these exploitative practices.
- Longevity: Vintage clothing has already withstood the test of time, indicating its enduring quality. Fast fashion items are often made to be disposable, contributing to a throwaway culture.
- Cultural Preservation: Vintage clothing preserves the styles and fashion history of past eras, celebrating their unique aesthetics and historical significance.
- Reduced Waste: By purchasing vintage, you contribute to reducing textile waste and extending the lifespan of clothing, aligning with a more sustainable approach.
In summary, buying vintage clothing is a conscious choice that aligns with ethical and sustainable principles while offering you the opportunity to own timeless, unique pieces that challenge the negative impacts of fast fashion.
