LUXURY VINTAGE

 

All of the products listed on out website are vintage, pre-owned or renewed vintage pieces. This means that all of those items are second-hand and usually have some traces of use but we never offer products that are in any way destroyed. 

Please note that natural signs of wear are normal for vintage, pre-loved, and reworked garments and accessories, and please read an item description before making a purchase. Feel free to ask us about extra information or photos. 

Ciao Kasia is not affiliated with any of the brands mentioned or sold. 

Colors on the screen of your device may differ from the actual colors of the garment.

 

Please note that we video record packing for quality assurance and for the proof purposes.

 

 

AUTHENTICITY

We authenticate all of our products! Some of our items come from the official vintage wholesalers in Milan and Paris that guarantee the product's authenticity. However, we always double-check everything from stitching to fonts, sometimes even using special AI tools like Entrupy. Even though Ciao Kasia was founded recently, we've been in vintage businesses for years now and we ourselves have great expertise in this field :) If we had any doubts about the authenticity of our product we would never put it on the website. However, please note that we are not associated with any of the brands we are selling.

 

 

CONDITION

 

Please keep in mind that all of the items we sell are either vintage or pre-loved so they always carry some inevitable traces of time and use. 

 

EXCELLENT - No visible signs of wear. Items may have minor traces of passing time or the slightest signs of wear but they are only noticeable upon very close inspection. Those items look almost brand new.  

VERY GOOD - Minor signs of wear but not visible while wearing. These items can have some discoloration, pulled threads, etc. but overall, they are in great vintage condition.

GOOD - Signs of wear can be noticeable like e.x. loss of the shape, pain chips, leather creasing, and discolorations but not necessarily visible while wearing. You can easily say that these items have been used but they are still well preserved and can serve you for a very long time.

FAIR - These items have some serious signs of use that can be noticed while wearing. For example severe loss of shape, stains, ripped leather, etc. You will NOT find these items on Ciao Kasia website. 

POOR - These items not only carry severe signs of use but are also destroyed in some way. You will NOT find these products on Ciao Kasia website.
