Reading condition before you buy
A condition grade is a starting point. The details help you decide whether a piece is right for you.
Start with the whole piece
Look at the front, back, base and interior. Shape, colour and the way a bag stands can be easier to judge across several views than in one close-up. Open the photographs at full size to compare them.
Read the details together
Check corners, handles, edges and hardware alongside the written condition notes. The same grade can describe different kinds of wear, so let the individual photographs and description guide you.
Check what is included
A strap, dust bag, box or receipt is included only when the listing says so. If a detail you need is not shown, ask our team before ordering.
