Shop policies
Please not that these are all "vintage" pieces (i.e. gently used). In some cases the signs of age are more apparent than in other cases. We do our best to address any flaws in the listing- this includes staining, soiling, tears and rips, odors, and missing parts. When you shop with us you are investing in a unique piece that may have been loved in a past life. Please read our listings carefully.
Please note that in the interest of not compromising the condition of the garments and in order to keep our prices reasonable (dry cleaning costs would raise our prices considerably), we do not generally wash them. We recommend that most items be dry cleaned.
RESERVING listings- We are saddened to announced that we will no longer offer the courtesy of placing a hold on or "reserving" a listing. This system has been abused many times over.
OFFERS- While we do feel that we price our pieces fairly, we often consider reasonable offers on higher priced items. Before making us an offer, please be prepared to commit. If your offer is accepted, we will promptly change the listing to reflect our discussed price and "reserve" the listing for you. It is terrible etiquette to make an offer that you are not willing to back up. Please be courteous to us.

INSURANCE: We now insist on insuring all orders over $50. This price is included in your shipping price.
For US shipping: we mostly ship Priority mail. If you would like your item shipped another way, please contact us. Also, please contact us if you need your package insured, as this is something we normally do not include.
For INTERNATIONAL shipping: We now will only ship PRIORITY MAIL for international orders. We have had issues with international shipments and feel this is the safest way.
All items are shipped within 5 days of purchase. If you need to package by a specific date, please let us know and we will do our very best to make sure your item gets to you in time.
If any of this is unclear, please convo us before purchasing. Thank you in advance!
