AUTHENTICITY STATEMENT
Quiet West Vintage sells authentic vintage and luxury brand product. We do not sell luxury brand products that are now outsourced and mass produced in China. We do not sell “vintage inspired” or “vintage styled” product. By authentic vintage – we mean vintage clothing that is at least twenty-five years old. Otherwise the item will be listed and dated as contemporary. Wherever possible, the country of origin, and all labels and age defining details are described and photographed, in order to assist the buyer in making a decision. Integrity and Authenticity are integral to the Mission Statement of Quiet West Vintage.
Please be aware that vintage items are not new, and therefore are not perfect. There may be some very minor flaws, and sometimes a previous owner has removed care labels, therefore every effort is made to provide an honest description and photographs. The buyer is welcome to contact Quiet West prior to making a purchase, if there are any questions or concerns.
In addition, given the fact so much of the luxury brand manufacturing, has been relocated to China, or India, it makes some of the authentication a grey area. For instance, Ray Ban sunglasses used to be manufactured in Italy or the US. Now they are manufactured in China, and are still considered to be authentic. Quiet West has very few products that are manufactured in China, as that is part of the buying criteria for this store. Quiet West carries Chinese export, 1960’s Made in Hong Kong, and a few other items from China.
