The Vault Standard

Transparency is the ultimate luxury. Every item at Valencia Vault undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection process by our experts before being listed. Our grading scale ensures that you know exactly what to expect when your piece arrives.

Grading Definitions

• Pristine The item appears brand new and shows no visible signs of wear. It often includes original retail tags, dust bags, and boxes.

• Excellent An item that is nearly indistinguishable from new but may have been used once or twice. It shows only extremely minimal signs of handling, such as faint hairline scratches on hardware.

• Very Good The item has been used with care and shows minor, expected signs of previous ownership. This may include light creasing in leather or very slight fading in specific areas.

• Good A well-loved piece that remains beautiful and fully functional. It shows more visible signs of use, such as moderate corner wear, tarnished hardware, or minor surface scratches.

• Fair The item shows significant wear from frequent use. Notable scuffing, interior marks, or structural softening may be present. These items are priced to reflect their journey and character.
