Condition & Authenticity
Our vintage embroidery kits are carefully inspected and photographed. Most are unused or lightly used, although you should expect age-related wear to packaging and materials. Because these embroidery kits have been stored for decades, there may be associated scents, vintage attributes like dust or light age marks, etc. Every one is genuine vintage —no reproductions.
