Condition Guide

Products sold by Alchemy Archive are pre-owned unless stated otherwise, our pieces have had a previous life so may tell their story through minor signs of wear. We created this guide to help customers in knowing what to expect when their item arrives. Buying pre-loved means sustainability for the Earth and giving these items a new life.

FAIR
