CONDITION CHART

Fortepiano always puts the state of garments at the centre of his research, carefully selecting mostly pieces in excellent condition with the fewest possible defects. However, some gems capture the heart even if in a lived state. Here you will find a small guide on how we consider the general conditions of a garment.

NEW WITH TAG
Refers to garments with original tags still attached, that have never been used.

MINT
Garments in pristine, like-new condition without any visible wear. May have been tried on but shows no signs of use.

EXCELLENT / VERY GOOD
Gently used items in superb condition with minimal signs of wear, such as slight creasing or very minor fading. Overall, they look almost new.

GOOD
This item clearly has a story and may show possible tears or marks on the fabric, including around collar and/or arms, pulled threads, fading, or balling. Still perfectly wearable.

Note: Any visible signs of wear or defects will always be clearly indicated in the item description.
