How we work.

We work out of Paris. Pieces come from estates, private wardrobes, and dealers we've known long enough to trust. We focus on houses whose archive still reads: Comme des Garçons, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Maison Margiela, Helmut Lang, Prada, Burberry, Chloé, Jean Paul Gaultier, Undercover, and the adjacents that share their lineage.

We don't buy on hype. We buy on construction, era, and the piece's place inside the designer's trajectory.

Each piece is checked against house records: labels, neck tags, product codes, fabric content, country of make, hardware, stitching, and lining behaviour. We cross-reference period archives and house-specific dating guides, not internet consensus.

If a code doesn't resolve or a construction detail contradicts the era, the piece is held for escalation. Red flags end the conversation. Nothing is listed as probably authentic.

Condition is graded against how the piece is meant to read on the body, not against an idealised mint. We log fading, pilling, hardware patina, lining wear, and any repairs, visible or otherwise, then account for them in price and copy.

If something would surprise you on arrival, it's in the listing.

Pieces are photographed in daylight, on a neutral surface, with no colour correction beyond white-balancing. Detail shots cover labels, hardware, lining, and any wear that affects how the piece reads. What you see on the listing is what arrives.

Copy names the era, the collection moment, and the construction. Pricing is anchored to comparable sold listings, not asking prices, and adjusted for condition.

A piece only goes live once each step above is complete. If anything is unresolved, ask before buying.
