A note on vintage footwear: Pre-loved shoes have lived a little. Depending on their age and previous wear, heel tips or soles may need refreshing before their next chapter
Every Since Eden piece is carefully sourced, authenticated and thoughtfully documented. As with all vintage items, signs of wear form part of their unique history. We encourage considered purchasing and are always happy to answer any questions before you buy - hello@sinceeden.com
Care
The materials used in luxury pieces are often remarkably durable, which is why so many of our pieces still look incredible 20, 30 or even 40 years on. But vintage deserves a little extra consideration. With the right care, your piece can continue its story for many years to come.
Just like any designer piece, avoid overfilling or overloading your bag, and try not to handle it roughly or unnecessarily. Leather and other delicate materials should be kept away from perfume, oils and moisturisers, and any marks or spills should be dealt with as quickly as possible.
For bags, we recommend storing them carefully when not in use and avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, moisture or humidity.
Vintage footwear may need a little more TLC. Depending on age and previous wear, soles or heel tips can require attention sooner than their modern counterparts. A good cobbler can often give a much-loved pair a little refresh and help keep them going for years to come.
And if you're ever unsure how best to care for a particular piece, just ask. We're always happy to advise.

AUTHENTICITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
AUTHENTICITY
Every piece we offer is carefully considered and authenticated before it reaches you.
We source exclusively through reputable sellers and trusted suppliers, and each piece goes through multiple layers of authentication before being listed. We examine brand-specific details including construction, materials, hardware, markings and other identifying characteristics, using additional authentication channels where appropriate.
We take authenticity seriously. If we're not confident in a piece, we don't sell it.
SUSTAINABILITY
We believe beautiful things are worth keeping in circulation. By choosing vintage and pre-loved pieces, you're giving an existing object another life rather than creating demand for something new.
