condition standards | buying vintage

Everything sold at BEULAHVEDA.COM has been hand-selected. We won't sell anything that we don't love and wouldn't wear ourselves. However, vintage clothing is often not in perfect condition and may have flaws such as stains or repairs. Most items have probably been previously worn. We will always honestly indicate the condition of the garment and list any flaws so that you can decide for yourself whether it's the right choice for you!

The items we choose to sell will almost always be in "Mint" or "Excellent" condition. We will only offer another category if the item otherwise proves worthy. Below is a list of the categories we use to rate the vintage clothing on our site:

MINT
Garment is flawless. Probably was seldomly used if ever and has not been altered in style or size.

EXCELLENT
Garment is near flawless with little signs of wear. No obvious faults.

VERY GOOD
Garment shows normal wear for its age. Was probably worn several times by the previous owners, but well cared for. Some minor flaws may be visible but nothing that would detract from the overall look of the item.

GOOD
Garment has visible stains or wear to the fibers that cannot be repaired without recognition.

FAIR
Garment has obvious wear, staining or damage.
