Celine Brown Suede Horsebit Shoulder Bag

Every Vintage Sweet piece is graded from Rank S/N to Rank B according to its condition. Each listing also contains photos, videos or a written description. This guide gives the general rule for how pieces are graded, and it is your own discerning decision which condition suits you best.

Rank S/N · Kept Unused/Brand New

Rank N is brand new, in similar condition to store-bought, usually for modern designs. Rank S is kept unused. After long storage there can be minimal signs, such as a slight change of shape or in the leather, but the piece is usually still considered near perfect.

Rank SA · Pristine

Pre-owned, with minimal signs of use.

Rank A · Excellent

Signs of use are more visible, but still minor, such as light scratches or creases.

Rank AB · Very Good

More noticeable flaws, such as corner wear, loss of gold plating or cracking of edge paint. These can often be overlooked or treated with home-care products.

Rank B · Good

Still plenty of life left, but the flaws are obvious, such as discolouration of fabric, heavy stains or rips. Many can be improved by a professional, depending on how you want the piece to look.
