Are overstock, end-of-line goods and samples used?
No. In ItaModaStock’s normal offer, overstock, end-of-line goods and samples are new items rather than second-hand clothing. A sample or new item can still have a specific characteristic or disclosed defect, so professional buyers should check the images, condition and notes on the individual listing before accepting a quotation.
How the main stock categories differ
A commercial category does not replace product assessment. Use this table to understand the category, then verify the individual offer.
| Category | What it means | ItaModaStock position |
|---|---|---|
| Overstock | New goods available beyond the original commercial or production requirement. | Part of the normal offer where stated on the listing. |
| End-of-line | New goods from a completed or discontinued line, season or assortment. | Part of the normal offer; the term does not automatically mean defective. |
| Sample | An item made for presentation or collection development whose actual condition must be checked. | May be offered, with known characteristics or defects disclosed. |
| Customer return | A product returned by a customer after an earlier sale. | Not the normal merchandise category of ItaModaStock. |
| Used clothing | A product previously worn, owned or used as a second-hand good. | Not part of ItaModaStock’s normal offer. |
What “new” does — and does not — mean
“New” describes usage condition, not every other commercial attribute of the product.
Not second-hand
The item is not presented as used clothing or merchandise sold by weight.
Not a statement of origin
An Italian supplier does not make every item Made in Italy; origin must be checked per product.
Not a replacement for disclosed condition
Samples, packaging or known characteristics still need to be read and confirmed.
Not a guarantee of future availability
Quantity and composition can change until commercial confirmation.
Does a disclosed defect make an item used?
No. Usage condition and the presence of a defect are separate facts. A new item or sample can have a known irregularity without becoming second-hand merchandise. The important point is that the characteristic is described before purchase and reconfirmed in the applicable material or quotation.
B2B
What to verify before requesting a quotation
Always connect information to the specific goods rather than relying on a generic supplier description.
- Images and video matched to the correct references
- New condition and category: overstock, end-of-line or sample
- Known defects, special characteristics or packaging condition
- Composition, sizes, colours and assortment
- Available quantity and purchasing mode
- Product origin where relevant
- Final confirmation in the written quotation
Condition, origin and authenticity are different checks
“New” does not prove a country of manufacture, an official relationship with a brand or one standard source. ItaModaStock publishes only the information available for the individual offer. If origin, labelling or commercial authorisation is decisive, request documentary confirmation before ordering.
Questions about fashion-stock condition
- Does ItaModaStock sell used clothing by weight?
- No. The normal catalogue focuses on new fashion stock for professional buyers, not used clothing, vintage by the kilogram or second-hand selections.
- Are end-of-line goods always defective?
- No. End-of-line describes a completed or discontinued line or assortment, not a defect. Read the actual condition and any known defects on the specific listing.
- Is a sample identical to a production item?
- Not necessarily. A sample can have characteristics related to presentation or development. Check its images, labels, sizes, composition and condition individually.
- Are all goods Made in Italy?
- No. TRA-COM SRLS is an Italian company, but the country of manufacture depends on the individual item and cannot be inferred from the supplier’s registered office.
