  • Accidents can happen, and we understand that. Please notify us immediately if you accidentally damage or stain. We have a dedicated team to assess and handle such situations. Depending on the damage or stain extent, you may incur additional charges, which will be communicated to you. We strongly recommend reviewing our rental agreement for specific terms and conditions regarding damage and stains. We take great care to maintain the quality of our items, so we appreciate your honesty and timely reporting of any issues.

  • We understand a romance with fashion (it’s why we’re here!). In general, pieces in the Brooklyn Vintage Archive are not for sale—but for the right match, we’re happy to discuss a purchase and negotiate a fair price.

    A quick note: the “Product Value” listed in an item’s details refers to the replacement value used if a piece is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair. It’s not necessarily the market price.

    In short: be kind to our pieces, and we’ll be kind to your credit card. 🖤
