Condition Guide

Condition Guide

How we grade every piece before it reaches you.

At Eliana Luxury, every item undergoes a meticulous inspection, authentication, and individual assessment prior to its sale. Each product listing includes high-resolution photography and a comprehensive condition description — any notable imperfections are explicitly disclosed to ensure complete transparency before you purchase.

As a boutique specialising in authenticated pre-owned luxury goods, a portion of our inventory has a history of previous ownership. While some items remain unworn, others may exhibit signs of careful use consistent with their age. Our condition grading system ensures you always know exactly what to expect.
