Who is responsible for customs and import taxes?

Buyers are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, or fees charged by their country. If an order is refused or returned to us because customs charges weren’t paid, we unfortunately cannot issue a refund, as these costs are also charged to us. If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact us.

What condition are your vintage pieces in?

Our collection consists of carefully selected vintage items, 20+ years old and pre-loved. Signs of wear or patina may be present — we consider them part of the piece’s story. Every detail is described and photographed honestly so you know exactly what to expect. If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact us.

Do you accept returns or exchanges?

Yes, but please contact us before returning. Returns must be shipped back within 7 days with tracking, and the buyer covers return costs. Items must arrive in their original condition. Please note: original shipping is non-refundable, and any customs fees (if applied to the return) will be deducted from the refund. If only part of a bundle is returned, the discount will be adjusted. Important: If an order is refused or returned due to unpaid customs fees, no refund will be issued. If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact us.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. All orders are prepared with care and shipped in compact, upcycled packaging. Please keep in mind that we’re not responsible for courier delays or customs processing times, but we’ll always do our best to help if something happens along the way. If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact us.

What if my package is returned to you?

If a package is returned due to failed delivery (e.g., wrong address or not collected), we can reship it at your expense. If an order is refused or returned to us because customs charges weren’t paid, we unfortunately cannot issue a refund, as these costs are also charged to us. If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact us.

Gift wrapping and packaging

If you’d like a piece wrapped as a gift or with a handwritten note, let us know and we’ll be happy to prepare it thoughtfully. If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact us.

Are your designer items authentic?

Yes. We carefully authenticate all branded and designer pieces with our expertise and research. You can purchase with confidence that every item is genuine. If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact us.

Every vintage piece is unique. Choosing vintage means choosing sustainability: it extends the life of existing items, reduces waste, and carries forward the artistry of past decades. If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact us.

This 1950s Italian black leather top handle bag merges sculptural Art Deco lines with timeless Gothic glamour. Handcrafted from supple vintage leather, it features a bold silver ring clasp — a detail that turns a simple silhouette into a piece of wearable art. Its compact structure, with three accordion compartments, reflects the precision and elegance of mid-century Italian design.

A perfect companion for dark romantic, poetcore, or quiet luxury aesthetics, this vintage handbag balances mystery and refinement. Whether paired with a crisp shirt, tailored blazer, or flowing eveningwear, it carries an understated strength that transcends trends — a statement piece for those who see fashion as language and memory.
