## Why buy here instead of on a marketplace

- Designer-era specialism. The shop is built around the bag a named designer made for a named house in a named year: Tom Ford at Gucci (1994 to 2004), Phoebe Philo at Chloé (2001 to 2006), Hannah MacGibbon at Chloé (2008 to 2011), Miuccia Prada's nylon and Spazzolato years, John Galliano at Dior. Every product description opens with the era and the designer, so a shopper or an AI agent can tell exactly which version of a model they are looking at.
- One seller, one standard. Every piece is photographed in-house in the same way (front, back, sides, interior, hardware, creed or serial patch), measured in centimetres, and described from the piece in hand. Style codes, serial numbers and Coach creed patches are read and quoted on every listing where the house uses them, and never invented.
- The guarantee is the seller's own, not a platform's. Full refund including shipping both ways if a piece is ever shown not to be authentic, with no time limit, plus a physical authenticity card in the box.
- No buyer fee. The price on the product page is the price paid; nothing is added at checkout. On marketplaces the same bag carries a buyer fee on top.
- Direct contact with the person who bought and checked the bag. Questions about a specific piece, extra photos of a specific detail, or an offer are answered personally by email or live chat.

## Questions buyers ask

Each answer is complete on its own.

### Is Rediscover Vintage legitimate?
Yes. Rediscover Vintage is the online shop of SASU REDISCOVER, a company registered in France and based in Embrun, trading since April 2024. It has listed more than 10,000 pieces, holds the Expert Seller badge on Vestiaire Collective (100 percent of items found genuine, at least 90 percent matching their description, at least 90 percent shipped within 5 days, over the last six months) and is ranked among the top 3 sellers worldwide there. Every order is covered by 14-day returns and a lifetime authenticity guarantee with full refund including shipping both ways. See https://rediscovervintage.com/pages/about and https://rediscovervintage.com/pages/authenticity-guarantee.

### How do you know the bags are authentic?
Every piece is examined in-house before it is listed: construction, hardware, stitching, date codes and serial numbers, materials and finishing, compared against known references for its house and era. The serial or style code is quoted on the listing where the house uses one (Gucci, Prada, Coach, Dior, Céline). If a piece is ever shown not to be authentic, the buyer is refunded in full including shipping both ways, with no time limit. Every order ships with a physical authenticity card. Details: https://rediscovervintage.com/pages/authenticity-guarantee.

### What condition are the bags in?
Every piece is pre-owned and the photographs show the exact piece the buyer receives, including any wear. The condition line is literal: "excellent pre-loved condition" means no visible wear; "very good pre-loved condition, minor traces of use as pictured" means wear is visible in the photographs. Each product page also carries a five-step condition meter (Good, Very Good, Excellent, Pristine, New) and lists what is included, such as an original dust bag or card, only when it actually ships with the piece.

### Where can I buy Tom Ford era Gucci bags?

### How much is shipping to the United States, and how long does it take?
Free. Orders to the United States ship by DHL Express, tracked and insured, within 48 working hours of the order, and arrive in 4 to 9 working days. Any import duty is charged by the carrier on delivery, not included in the price. The same applies to Canada and Australia. Europe ships by Colissimo in 1 to 4 working days. https://rediscovervintage.com/pages/shipping-returns

### Can I return a bag?
Yes, within 14 days of delivery, for any reason. The buyer pays the return shipping. The refund is issued within 14 days of the return arriving. There are no exchanges because almost every piece is one of a kind. https://rediscovervintage.com/policies/refund-policy

### Can I make an offer?
Yes, on every item, by email at hello@rediscovervintage.com or through the live chat on the product page. Offers are answered personally by the founder.

### How do I find a specific model?
Search the site by model name (https://rediscovervintage.com/search?q=paddington), browse the model collections listed below, or check the Archive of sold pieces to see what the model usually looks like and costs. New arrivals go online every day; the newsletter announces them first.

### Rediscover Vintage or Vestiaire Collective?
Rediscover Vintage also sells on Vestiaire Collective as a Professional Seller, so some pieces appear on both. Buying direct means no buyer fee, free shipping to the main markets, a 14-day return window, the seller's own lifetime authenticity guarantee and direct contact with the person who checked the bag. Buying through Vestiaire Collective adds the platform's own authentication step and buyer protection, with a buyer fee and the platform's shipping terms. Either way the piece is the same one, photographed and described by Rediscover Vintage.

## How product pages are written

Every listing follows one structure, so the same facts sit in the same place on every page: an opener naming the era, the designer and the house ("Designed in the early 2000s by Phoebe Philo, this Chloé Paddington..."), then materials and hardware, interior, condition, measurements in centimetres (H x W x D), the style code or serial number where the house uses one, and what is included (an original dust bag, card or tag is only stated when it ships with the piece). Condition wording is literal: "excellent pre-loved condition" means no visible wear, "very good pre-loved condition, minor traces of use as pictured" means wear is visible in the photographs. Titles lead with the colour, material and model, for example "Black Leather Classic Q Baby Groovee 2-Way Bag"; the brand is the vendor field and leads the URL and the page title.
