When shopping pre-owned, condition is everything. It’s what helps you find that forever piece at the right price, with full confidence.
At A Retro Tale, every item is carefully inspected and evaluated by our in-house experts the moment it arrives. We document its exact state, noting all visible signs of wear with complete transparency. Our condition grading is designed to give you a clear, honest understanding of what you’re buying, so you can make informed decisions when investing in pre-owned luxury. You’ll find detailed condition notes and imagery on every product page, and you can easily filter your search by condition to match what you’re looking for. Because shopping pre-owned should feel considered, seamless, and trustworthy. Quality and authenticity are always a given. Clarity is our promise.
Not sure what the different condition labels mean? Here’s how we define them at A Retro Tale.
Clarity is essential when shopping pre-owned. That’s why the condition of every item at A Retro Tale is always clearly visible, directly on the product listing and explained in detail on the product page. Whether you’re considering a timeless piece from Chanel or an everyday icon from Louis Vuitton, the assigned condition grade gives you an immediate understanding of the item’s current state. Combined with detailed notes and close-up imagery, this allows you to shop with confidence and full transparency.
Once you’ve selected a designer, category, or product type, you can easily refine your search by condition. Whether you’re looking for something close to new or open to a piece with character and history, you can tailor your browsing experience to match your preference.
Each product page clearly list any included accessories such as dust bags, boxes, authenticity cards, or tags. Even items showing visible wear may still include their original components, depending on what the previous owner kept.
Our team is always here to help. If you’d like additional details, guidance, or extra imagery of a specific piece, we’re happy to assist and provide a closer assessment. Pre-owned should feel personal, considered, and reassuring – from first click to final delivery.
