Every piece is examined by hand before it is offered.
Each piece on Sanpetuna is reviewed by our in-house specialists: labels, construction, materials and condition. Only pieces that meet our standard are listed and carry the Sanpetuna Verified seal.

Each piece is reviewed in full, regardless of house or price.

Quality lives in the details.
The handwork behind a canvassed jacket, a hand-sewn buttonhole or the hand of a fine cloth cannot be judged from a photograph. It takes people who know what each house's work should feel like. That is why we specialise in luxury menswear, and in nothing else.
One scale for every piece.
Every product page shows the exact condition, graded on the same five steps.
