How to assess the exact piece before you buy
A strong buying decision comes from the individual listing, not the model name alone. Use these steps to compare condition, inclusions, buyer protections and the total cost before choosing your piece.
Separate expected wear from damage
Consider how the material normally ages, then compare the listing notes for corner wear, scratches, patina, tarnishing, odour, repairs, alterations and structural change.
Read the relevant protections
Check the Authenticity Guarantee, delivery method and Returns Policy for the category. Eligible full-price bags, wallets and selected accessories may qualify for change of mind returns. Watches, jewellery, shoes, ready-to-wear and items sold at a reduced price do not qualify. Rights that cannot lawfully be excluded are unaffected.
Choose payment after the item
Confirm the full checkout total and select only a payment option shown as available to you. A payment plan changes timing, not the need to review the exact item first.
