Not sure? Ask us for cleaning instructions :)

We generally do not clean jewelry, as many buyers prefer the look of patina, but we will happily do so upon request before we ship.

As a general rule, we do not sell anything we wouldn't wear ourselves. So we never carry anything with major flaws unless it's being sold as a collector's item, and this would be disclosed in the description.

Although most sales are considered final, returns are accepted on a case by case basis, and only if there is a significant error in the listing. Care is taken to provide accurate measurements and photos on every garment.

As a rule, we do not sell anything we wouldn't wear ourselves. Vintage items may show signs of wear, patina...character. So, please don't expect perfection. You CAN rest assured that you won't receive anything w/ ridiculous holes, stains, or super stinky (ew!) However, if something escapes our inspection, please contact us and we will happily address any concerns, as it is our fervent wish that you love your garment as much as we do!

The most lovely coat I've ever purchased. <3 Simone also included an extra gift in one of the pockets (with a thank you card letting me know to check for it), and I thought it was just the sweetest thing. I've only worn my coat at home and already it's been getting such gorgeous compliments! :D
