Curated by Maria

Last Updated: October 23, 2026

1. Welcome to Curated by Maria

Welcome to Curated by Maria, an online boutique offering carefully selected new, pre-owned, and vintage clothing, footwear, and accessories.

By accessing our website or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms of Service and our applicable store policies. Please review them before placing an order.

Our goal is simple: Great brands. Exceptional finds. Fair prices. We are committed to providing an enjoyable shopping experience and 100% customer satisfaction.

2. Product Descriptions and Condition

We take pride in carefully selecting and presenting our merchandise. Every effort is made to provide accurate descriptions, photographs, measurements, and condition assessments.

Because many of our items are gently pre-owned or vintage items in excellent condition, customers should understand that:

Previously owned merchandise may exhibit normal signs of age, use, or wear.
Vintage garments may differ from contemporary clothing in sizing, construction, and materials.
Listed measurements should be reviewed carefully before purchasing.
Photographs form an important part of each item's description and condition assessment.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, merchandise is not represented as new.

We encourage customers to contact us with questions before purchasing.

Curated by Maria is an independent resale boutique and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the brands represented in our inventory unless expressly stated.

3. Pricing and Availability

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Applicable sales taxes and shipping charges are calculated and displayed during checkout.

Many of our items are unique or available in limited quantities. Merchandise is offered subject to availability.

We reserve the right to correct inaccurate product information or pricing errors. If an error affects an order already placed, we will contact the customer and offer an appropriate resolution, including cancellation and a refund when applicable.

Multi-Platform Sales and Product Availability

Because Curated by Maria offers merchandise across multiple sales platforms, an item listed on our Shopify website may occasionally become unavailable before its listing can be updated. While we make every effort to maintain accurate, real-time inventory, listing an item for sale does not guarantee its availability if it has already been purchased through another sales channel.

In the unlikely event that an item becomes unavailable after a Shopify order has been placed, we will promptly notify the customer, issue an immediate full refund, including any applicable shipping charges and taxes, and provide a 10% discount coupon toward their next purchase as a gesture of appreciation for their understanding.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and remain committed to providing an exceptional shopping experience.

Payment must be successfully processed before merchandise is shipped.

Orders are processed through the secure payment methods available at checkout. Curated by Maria does not have access to customer payment method information

Shipping and handling charges are calculated and displayed during checkout before the purchase is completed. Any applicable promotional shipping discounts will be reflected at checkout.

Delivery times depend on the shipping carrier, service selected, and destination. Carrier delivery estimates are not guaranteed.
