Condition Grading Guide

At Preloved Branded, we take pride in offering a carefully curated selection of preowned authentic luxury bags and accessories. To ensure transparency and help you make informed purchasing decisions, we use a comprehensive condition grading system. Each bag is meticulously evaluated and classified into one of several categories, from S to C condition grade. 

Let’s dive into what each grade means and what level of wear you can expect to see on your preowned purchase.

S: Mint Condition (10/10)

  • A bag in mint, or pristine, condition shows no signs of use. It looks as good as new, with no visible scratches, scuffs, or stains. The hardware is shiny and intact, and all original packaging and tags are usually present.
  • Your most common reactions: "Unreal!! Was it even worn?" 

A+: Near Mint Condition (9/10)

  • A bag in near mint condition shows minimal signs of use, such as very faint surface scratches or tiny scuffs that are hard to notice. These bags often come with some original inclusions like dust bags, authenticity cards, or tags, enhancing their value and appeal.
  • Your most common reactions: "Absolutely stunning!" 

A: Excellent Condition (8/10)

  • A bag in excellent condition has minimal signs of use. There may be very slight wear, such as faint scratches or minor scuffs, but these are barely noticeable. The structure and hardware remain in near-perfect condition, maintaining its overall high quality and appearance.
  • Your most common reactions: "LOVE it!!"

A-: Very Good to Excellent Condition (7/10)

  • A bag in very good to excellent condition shows slightly more wear than the standard excellent condition. This can include a few more visible scratches or scuffs and minor signs of use on the interior. Despite these small imperfections, the bag remains in very good condition, allowing you to enjoy its elegance for years to come.
  • Your most common reactions: "Wow, this looks gorgeous!"

AB: Very Good Condition (6/10)

  • A bag classified as very good shows light to moderate signs of use. This can include minor surface scratches, slight scuffs, or small marks. The hardware may show some wear but is still in good condition. Overall, the bag maintains its elegance and appeal, ensuring you can enjoy it for many years.
  • Your most common reactions: "What a great grab! Amazing!" 

B: Good Condition (5/10)

  • A bag in good condition displays moderate signs of use. This includes more noticeable scratches, scuffs, and potential fading. There may be some wear on the hardware and interior. Despite these signs of use, the bag is still stylish and presentable.
  • Your most common reactions: "OMG, that bag looks so good!"

C: Fair Condition (4/10)

  • A bag in fair condition shows significant signs of wear. This includes visible scratches, scuffs, stains, and possibly some damage to the hardware or interior lining. The bag may require some repair or refurbishment but remains an authentic luxury item.
  • Your most common reactions: "Definitely a project, but worth it!"

Please note that at Preloved Branded, we only offer bags in S to AB condition, rarely B condition, from store fresh to very good, ensuring you receive items in the best condition possible. We only offer bags that are in their original condition - not retouched or repainted.
