STUDIO OXFORD
Authenticity
What we sell, and why you can count on it being authentic.
Last updated · May 2026
01
Our promise
Everything we sell is 100% original. Vintage or deadstock, made by the brand indicated on the label. No replicas, no 'inspired by', no questions.
That might sound obvious, but in a market where fakes are rampant, it's something we have to guarantee every single day. That's why we prefer to state it explicitly here.
02
Vintage or deadstock
Vintage means that an item has had a life before it came to us. Someone wore it, washed it, and later passed it on. Slight traces of that history are part of it, and you'll see them in the product photos.
Deadstock is different: new clothing from old inventories. Never worn, sometimes still with tags, just no longer in production. For each item on the site, it's clearly stated which of the two it is, so you know exactly what you're getting.
03
How we check
Every item that enters our studio goes through the same inspection. We compare labels, stitching, and materials with original reference material. We look at seam finishes, buttons, fabric — the subtle details that distinguish genuine pieces from fakes.
Five years of working with vintage has taught us what to look for. We only source through partners we know and have worked with for a long time. If something isn't right, the item goes back to the supplier, not onto the webshop.
04
Our relationship with the brands
We are an independent vintage curator. Not affiliated with Ralph Lauren or any other brand we sell, not sponsored, no partnership. The brand names on our site refer to the original makers of the clothing, not to a collaboration with us.
All brand rights remain with the respective brand owners. We only claim what we can claim: that the item you receive is original.
