Hervé van der Straeten 1990s gilded metal and silk cord necklace

Mint - Virtually no wear, usually refers to vintage that has never been worn.

Excellent - Expected signs of wear with consideration of the age, but hardly any signs of it.

Very Good - Shows normal signs of wear expected for age with some minor visible problems but will not detract from wear.

Good - Garment has obvious condition from wear, but overall intact. Could use mending and/or cleaning.

Fair - A piece of vintage that is most likely not wearable, but could serve as a fantastic inspiration piece.

Please keep in mind that in most cases, vintage is pre-worn, and as a result pieces will show some minor wear. Mae Vintage carefully assesses each piece, and does its best to disclose all minor flaws that might be associated with each garment within the description of the item. We've included a vintage ranking chart that best describes the condition of each piece.
