Imparfaite advises sellers on the best price per product type, but they are not obliged to follow this recommendation.
For us the best price in vintage is the lowest that allows a sufficient margin for the seller. To learn more, we wrote an article about it, which you can read here.
The size mentioned on the product page is the size converted in today's standards. In addition, we mention the most detailed measurements possible for each piece. We advise you to take the measurements of your favorite pieces to compare.
