Fashionphile changes condition description/grading system

[lill_canele]

It's been a while since I've browsed Fashionphile. I happened to go online because they sent me a 10% coupon so I decided to browse.

And then I noticed that their description of how "used" the bag was or the wear and tear has changed.
I recall it being something like: "like new"/"new" (forgot which one), "excellent", "very good", "good", "fair".

Now I see: "shows wear" and "worn". "Excellent" is still there.



I see that their description of wear has become more detailed as well:



Not sure when this change was made, but it is interesting.

Thoughts?

There’s some discussion on this in another FASHIONPHILE thread! See pages 407 and 408. It’s definitely new as of the last week, or two. I will be curious to learn from those who purchase regularly if these descriptions are more accurate.

I would imagine they're trying to reduce the number of returns due to "condition not as described."

Personally, I'd be much less likely to take a bet on a bag with a description of "shows wear" versus "very good"
