Condition Guide
What to expect.
At Luxe Du Jour, we take condition seriously. The caliber of pieces we specialize in draws clients who are discerning by nature, with high expectations for accuracy and care. We meet those expectations by grading every item consistently, so you always know exactly what to expect.
Every piece we offer is graded across five tiers, from Pristine to Good. Each grade reflects the overall look and feel of the item, so there are no surprises when it arrives.
Pristine
Excellent
Great
Very Good
Good
PristineBrand new
New and unused, with no signs of wear whatsoever, exactly as it left the boutique. Arrives with its complete set of original accessories, such as box, dust bag, and authenticity cards. For our most prestigious brands, including Hermès and Chanel, a full accessory set is always required.
Excellent
These pieces are gently used and beautifully cared for, showing only very minor signs of wear that surface on close inspection. This includes both lightly used pieces and unworn items carrying only faint traces of storage.
A minor sign of wear might be a hairline scratch or the softest scuff to a corner — the kind of detail you'd have to look for to notice. Anything more visible, or any structural, hardware, or interior concern, is reflected in a different tier and always called out directly in the listing.GreatGently used
The first tier to reflect genuine use. Wear here is light and surface-level, limited to minor, isolated marks that stay confined to inconspicuous areas rather than anywhere prominent.
Very GoodWell kept
Wear becomes clearly noticeable here, the result of regular but careful use. Imperfections are visible and apparent, though they stay confined to natural points of wear and never take away from the piece's overall appeal.
GoodWell loved
Wear here is moderate and distinct, consistent with a piece that has been regularly and genuinely used. It remains very much wearable, full of the character that comes from being truly enjoyed.
Any notable condition detail particular to a piece, such as a scent, a storage mark, or a missing accessory, is always called out directly in its listing description. Our photography is also intentionally thorough and captured in high resolution, so you can see the exact condition of an item for yourself before it arrives.
