Condition Guide
At Encoriel Luxe, every pre-owned piece is reviewed and described with condition transparency in mind.
Because each item has been previously owned, natural signs of wear may be present. We aim to show and describe the condition of each piece as clearly as possible through product photos, condition notes, and item details.
Please review all photos and descriptions carefully before placing your order. If you need additional photos, videos, or condition clarification, please contact us before purchase.

Photos Are Part of the Description
Product photos are an important part of the condition description.
We make an effort to show each item from multiple angles, including visible wear when present. Color, texture, and surface details may appear slightly different depending on lighting, photography, screen settings, and viewing device.
If you need additional photos or videos of a specific item, please contact us before purchase.
Natural Signs of Pre-Owned Wear
All pre-owned luxury items may show natural signs of previous ownership, even when rated as Excellent or Pristine.
Minor variations, light marks, hardware scratches, leather softening, storage marks, or small signs of handling may be present and should be considered part of the item’s condition profile.
These signs do not qualify for return, refund, or exchange if they were shown, described, or consistent with the item’s stated condition.
Measurements & Color
Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly depending on how the item is measured.
Color may appear slightly different due to lighting, photography, screen settings, or natural material variation.
Please review all photos and item details carefully before purchase.
