A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions.

Where does StyleMonky find its clothing?

StyleMonky sources clothing from Hollywood estate and vintage collections, auctions, entertainment-industry wardrobe liquidation channels, and other unusual finds. Much of the inventory comes through film and television wardrobe departments and related liquidation channels.

Was every piece worn on screen?

No. A wardrobe or studio tag does not automatically mean a piece appeared on screen or was worn by an actor. When reliable history is available, it is shared in the product description. When it is not, StyleMonky does not make up a story.

Is StyleMonky affiliated with a studio or designer?

No. StyleMonky is an independent fashion resale business. Studio, network, production, designer, or actor names may appear only when relevant to describing an item, its label, or its documented source.

How should I judge the fit of a vintage piece?

Compare the measurements in the listing with a garment you already own and love. Vintage sizing can differ dramatically from modern sizing, so the number on a label is only part of the picture.

What condition are the items in?

Inventory can include pre-owned, vintage, designer, new or unworn, sample, wardrobe, and older unused pieces. Each item is individually inspected and the listing is the best place to understand its condition and any notable imperfections.

Are designer pieces authentic?

StyleMonky makes every effort to represent brands and designers accurately, using available labels, construction details, provenance, and other information. Counterfeit merchandise is not knowingly sold.

Why are there only one or two of an item?

Most finds are one-of-a-kind. StyleMonky buys collections, wardrobe lots, vintage pieces, and individual finds, not racks of identical pieces in every size.

How often are new items added?

New inventory is added constantly as it is acquired, sorted, photographed, and listed. The selection changes often, so it pays to check back.

Why are some prices unexpectedly low?

Every piece is priced individually, taking brand, condition, rarity, demand, and the source into account. The goal is to keep great finds moving into their next chapter, not to make every item precious.

Are all items used?

No. The archive includes pre-owned and vintage pieces alongside new, unworn, sample, wardrobe, and older unused finds. The product listing explains what is known about each item.

Will a vintage item show wear?

It can. Age, prior use, and fabric all matter. Read the listing and its condition notes closely before purchasing, especially for vintage pieces with a long history.

Why does vintage sizing look different?

Sizing standards change over time and vary between labels. Measurements are more useful than the number on a label, so compare them with a similar garment you own.

Can I ask a question about a specific item?

Yes. Use the contact details on the Contact page and include the item name or link so StyleMonky can point you to the most relevant listing information.

Can I request a particular kind of piece?

You are welcome to share what you are looking for. The inventory is sourced from changing, one-of-a-kind finds, so requests cannot be guaranteed, but they help guide the hunt.

Do you clean every garment?

Each piece is individually inspected and represented as accurately as possible. The best guidance for a particular garment is always the care and condition information in its listing.

What does secondhand mean here?

It simply means the piece has had a life before this one. That may mean vintage, previously owned, a wardrobe sample, old stock, or an unusual estate find.

Why buy secondhand fashion?

It is a chance to find a piece with more character and less repetition. Buying a great existing garment can also keep an already-made piece in circulation.

Is StyleMonky a thrift store?

StyleMonky is an independent fashion resale shop with a focus on unusual wardrobe, designer, vintage, and estate finds. The selection is curated one piece at a time.

How quickly do orders ship?

The current policy states that orders ship daily Monday through Friday, with a 10 AM cutoff for same-day handling. Review the current store checkout and listing information for order-specific details.

What is the return policy?

StyleMonky’s current policy allows return requests within 14 days of receiving an item, subject to the return conditions. Review the Returns page before purchasing.
