RDB CONDITION CATEGORIES

One of the main concerns when buying vintage and second hand items is the condition your desired product is in. As the items on RDB are pre-owned, it is no surprise you can’t help but wonder if your desired vintage bag, for example, looks as good in reality as it does in the picture.

Good news is, RDB undergoes a thorough selection process of our items striving to select only the pieces that fall into new, very good and good condition categories - items that do not fall into the mentioned condition categories - do not make the cut. To make the purchasing process easier for you, RDB provides item ranking that will help you to identify the condition of every item on the shop. 

You will find the condition categories above next to each product description, and we will always mention in detail if there are any defects or other signs of wear.

So, here are 3 RDB Item Condition Categories:

Virgin - (pristine condition, as new) - a pre-owned or vintage item that is in pristine condition, has never been worn, shows no defects or alterations and may still have original purchase tags and/or packaging.

Preloved - (very good condition) - a pre-owned or vintage item that was used slightly but it extremely well maintained - might show mine signs of usage/wear that will be mentioned in the description.

Survivor - (good condition) - a pre-owned or vintage item that shows signs of wear, eg. cracks on leather, brushed off corners, worn outsoles, etc. that will be mentioned in the description.
