Every vintage piece at ANEW gets carefully curated, assessed and authenticated. Kindly view the photos with precision and read the description of the piece. Here we do our best to disclose any flaws that might be associated with each garment, accessory or object.

Remember that all secondhand items we sell were preloved and may show signs of minor wear, and to true vintage lovers they are all the better for it.

Mint

Virtually unused, refers to vintage that has never been used, usually with original tags still attached. 

Excellent

Expected signs of use, with consideration of the age, but hardly any visible signs of use.

We continue to consider a clothing item in Excellent condition even if it has been altered and/or has missing/damaged internal tags or lining.

Very Good

Shows normal signs of use expected for age with some minor visible problems but will not detract from use.

A clothing item in Very Good condition could show some light pulls on the fabric or small marks. Small modifications or reparations could have been made to the piece (including replacing original buttons).

Good

Item has an obvious condition, but overall intact. Could use mending and/or cleaning.

A clothing item in Good condition could show possible tears or marks on the fabric including around collar and/or arms, pulled threads and/or fading or balling on fabric. Original buttons or removable accessories could be missing. 

This guide refers to our clothing, shoes and accessories only. We do not have a measurement guide for our interior pieces as we think the measurements are self-explanatory.

We hand measure every garment and accessory so that you can ensure the perfect fit. 

Please bear in mind that sizing labels on vintage garments and standardised measurements of clothing have changed over the decades and also vary between countries. Also keep in mind that garments with spandex may be smaller than body measurements, however the stretch in the fabric will provide ease and room for movement.

We have included visual illustrations of how we measure our garments and advise that you measure yourself the same way (in cm). 

If possible, it is also helpful to measure a similar garment you know fits well to compare proportions. 

Size Guide For Garments

The following size chart is designed to be a fair representation of clothing sizes. However, we advise that you use them as an approximate guideline and compare your individual measurements to those stated on each item’s product page before purchase.

The size chart also gives a conversion of the following international sizes:

DE (also used in Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway)

FR (also used in Belgium, Spain and Portugal)

IT (also used in Japan)

UK (also used in Australia, Ireland and New Zealand)

US (also used in Canada)

Certain garments are designed to have a more oversized fit, so the measurements may not correspond exactly to the size guidelines. That's why a suggested fit is indicated in the product description, under "SIZE & FIT".

Size Guide For Shoes

The following size chart is designed to be an approximate representation of shoe sizes. Please note that length may differ from brand to brand.
