Curious about how we grade the condition of our pieces? Hereโs a clear breakdown of what each grade meansโso youโll always know exactly what to expect.
Unworn
These bags have never been used and have been stored with care. They show no signs of wear and may even include original tags.
Grade N โ New With Tags
Grade S โ Never Used, Like New Without Tags
Excellent
These items may have been used once or twice but show virtually no signs of wear. Theyโre in superb condition and look nearly new.
Grade SA โ Near Brand-New
Grade A โ Excellent, Barely Used
Very Good
Gently used and well cared for, these pieces show minimal signs of wearโonly visible upon close inspection.
Grade B+ โ Very Good Condition
Good
These bags have some visible signs of use, such as light staining, minor corner wear, or small hardware scratchesโbut are still in good, usable condition.
Grade B โ Pre-loved, Good
Fair
More noticeable wear may be presentโstaining, surface marks, or softening of structureโbut the bag remains functional and priced accordingly.
Grade B- โ Pre-loved, Used
Worn
With clear signs of wear such as staining, damage, or missing parts (like zipper pulls), these bags are perfect for upcycling or restoration.
Grade C โ Obvious Flaws
