At SGV, we primarily source pieces in Very Good to Excellent condition, with careful attention to detail in every condition assessment.

Vintage pieces naturally show signs of their history, but many have been exceptionally well preserved and can be enjoyed for years to come. We seek out pieces known for their quality, craftsmanship, and enduring materials—hallmarks of vintage design that make these bags truly special. Wear is to be expected on the majority of vintage pieces. Please always read the 'Condition' section of our listings and review photos carefully. We work hard to accurately describe the condition of each piece we sell on its listing.
