Six focused sections and twenty-four decision items that take you from defining your vintage target to caring for the piece after purchase, covering reading construction and age, testing wearability, avoiding vintage traps, and using AI for era research. Built to use in the moment, at the fair or in an online listing.

Made for anyone who wants vintage finds that read modern and actually wear well, not fragile costume-only buys.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

A beautiful piece that never gets worn

Vintage sizing doesn't translate

A label size means little across decades, so without your own measurements written down, the piece rarely fits as hoped.

Age and damage hide in old fabric

Thinning, moth bites, sun fade, and crumbling elastic go unspotted, and the dream piece tears or shatters on the first wear.

"Rare" justifies any price

An unverified rarity claim pushes the price up, and you pay collectible money for something you only wanted as a casual experiment.

It only works as costume

Bought without a modern styling plan, the piece reads as a costume and pairs with nothing in your everyday wardrobe.

 
WHAT'S INSIDE

Inside the checklist, 6 sections and 24 items

Define the Vintage Target

Choose the decade or mood, write down non-negotiable measurements, decide on condition level, and bring a modern styling reference.

Read Construction and Age

Read seams, zippers, labels, and handwork for era clues, check stress points, hold to light for damage, and ask about provenance.

Test Wearability

Try it over real underlayers and shoes, move and fasten every closure, confirm the fabric suits your routine, and plan a grounded outfit.

Avoid Vintage Traps

Pass on too-fragile pieces, permanent odors, shattered silk, and focal-point stains, and question any unverified "rare" claim.

Prepare After Purchase

Air it separately and clean by fiber and embellishment, store knits and delicates correctly, and note alterations while the issue is fresh.

Use AI for Era Research

Ask AI for likely decade clues and modern styling from your closet, get care questions for unfamiliar fibers, and keep final judgment your own.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. We provide free shipping to over 200 countries around the world. However, there are some locations we are unable to ship to. If you happen to be located in one of those countries we will contact you.

What about customs?

We are not responsible for any custom fees once the items have shipped. By purchasing our products, you consent that one or more packages may be shipped to you and may get custom fees when they arrive to your country.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping time varies by location. These are our estimates:

Location *Estimated Shipping Time

Australia, New Zealand 5-20 Business days
Central & South America 5-20 Business days

*This doesn’t include our 1-3 day processing time.

Do you provide tracking information?

Yes, you will receive an email once your order ships that contains your tracking information. If you haven’t received tracking info within 5 days, please contact us.

My tracking says “no information available at the moment”.

For some shipping companies, it takes 2-5 business days for the tracking information to update on the system. If your order was placed more than 5 business days ago and there is still no information on your tracking number, please contact us.

Will my items be sent in one package?

For logistical reasons, items in the same purchase will sometimes be sent in separate packages, even if you've specified combined shipping.

If you have any other questions, please contact us and we will do our best to help you out.

Returns

Order cancellation

All orders can be cancelled until they are shipped. If your order has been paid and you need to make a change or cancel an order, you must contact us within 12 hours. Once the packaging and shipping process has started, it can no longer be cancelled.

Refunds

Your satisfaction is our #1 priority. Therefore, you can request a refund or reshipment for ordered products if:

  • If you did not receive the product within the guaranteed time (45 days not including 1-3 day processing) you can request a refund or a reshipment.
  • If you received the wrong item you can request a refund or a reshipment.
  • If you do not want the product you’ve received you may request a refund but you must return the item at your expense and the item must be unused.

We do not issue the refund if:

  • Your order did not arrive due to factors within your control (i.e. providing the wrong shipping address)
  • Your order did not arrive due to exceptional circumstances outside of our control (i.e. not cleared by customs, delayed by a natural disaster).
  • Other exceptional circumstances outside of our control.

*You can submit refund requests within 15 days after the guaranteed period for delivery (45 days) has expired. You can do it by sending a message at support@sellvia.com

Exchanges

If for any reason you would like to exchange your product, perhaps for a different size in clothing, you must contact us first and we will guide you through the steps.

Please do not send your purchase back to us unless we authorise you to do so.
