Brooklyn Grrrl Vintage takes great care to note any flaws and to describe conditions, but vintage means pre-loved and will show normal signs of age. After all, they have lived a life of their own before starting their next journey with you! This is what makes vintage items beautiful and unique. Thank you for understanding!
Please reach out with any questions.
