At Carole Thrift Shop, every item is carefully inspected and selected for its quality, condition, and authenticity. Because we specialize in second-hand and vintage pieces, normal signs of wear are expected and reflected in the product descriptions and pricing.

Condition & Authenticity Guarantee

We guarantee that:

  • Each item is accurately described to the best of our ability

  • Product photos represent the item you will receive

  • Any major defects are disclosed in the listing

  • All branded items are authenticated internally before being sold

If you believe an item has been misrepresented, please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order so we can review the case.
