Every reasonable attempt to 'accurately' describe items of vintage and antique nature and their age is made by using a combination of research as well as professional expertise in the vintage fashion industry. Since Coco Repose is not the original manufacturer of these vintage or antique clothing items or accessories, no guarantee to the EXACT age of an item can be made. Nor can promises be made on longevity with use. This includes but is not limited to the construction, fabrics used or materials, pigments, dyes, trims and embellishments presented on each garment.
