Vintage Condition & Authenticity

Vintage Condition & Product Information

Furora specialises in vintage, archival and pre-owned designer fashion. These pieces have had a life before reaching us, and age is part of their character.

Condition

Normal signs of age and previous use may include light surface wear, minor pulls, small marks, patina, gentle fading, hardware wear, sole wear or other characteristics consistent with a vintage item. Material condition issues that we consider relevant are described and/or photographed on the product page.

Characteristics that are clearly disclosed before purchase form part of the item’s description and should not be treated as undisclosed defects. The expected level of wear is assessed in light of the item’s age, materials and previous use.

Measurements and sizing

Vintage label sizes are not directly comparable across eras, designers or modern sizing systems. Customers should use the measurements provided on the product page as the primary sizing reference. Measurements are taken by hand and may vary slightly.

Colour, materials and archive references

Screen settings and lighting can cause small differences in colour. Material descriptions, dates, seasons, runway references and archival attributions are based on labels, construction, available documentation and Furora’s research. Where a season or reference is not certain, we avoid presenting it as confirmed.

Authenticity

Furora sources and reviews pieces with a collector-led approach and does not knowingly sell counterfeit goods. Product attribution is based on the item itself and the information available to us at the time of listing.

Legal conformity for second-hand goods

Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected. Where applicable law permits the liability period for lack of conformity of second-hand goods to be shortened by agreement, Furora and the consumer agree that this period is limited to one year from delivery. This does not cover deterioration caused by normal use, improper care, accidental damage, or characteristics and wear that were clearly disclosed before purchase.
