    How do you grade your bags?

    To ensure your order meets your expectations, we determine each bag’s condition before listing it on our website and share this condition grade on each bag’s page.

We have designed a straightforward condition grading matrix to fairly value and categories our styles, using an 6-letter grading system. If you have any questions regarding our condition grading, please contact our membership team.
