Authentication
Everything verifiable.
Authentication isn't a stamp we apply. It's a process you can audit. Here's exactly how we check that a piece is real before it touches our shelves.
How every piece earns its place
Every bag is inspected by hand before it's listed. It is a multi-step process, not a stamp we apply. It's the same eye behind 100+ authenticated bags, and past sales independently verified by Vestiaire Collective, with those certificates shown in full on the page. You're never taking our word for it.
Inside the inspection
01
Construction
Stitch density and thread tension, leather grain, the way the panels meet: all checked by hand against pieces we know to be real.
02
Hardware
Weight and finish, zippers, engravings, the behaviour of the magnets and clasps. These are the details that are expensive to get right and easy to get wrong.
03
Stamps & date codes
Heat stamps, date codes or chips, and factory marks, decoded and cross-referenced against the brand's known production.
04
Leather & finish
The leather, the glazing, the lining, even how a piece smells. The things that are hardest to fake and easiest to feel.
What you get with every piece
- Authentication ID. A permanent reference number tied to your piece and its documentation
- Condition grade. A plain grade and an overall score, broken down across exterior leather, lining, hardware, edges, and corners
- Macro photography. Close-ups of the date code, the hardware engraving, and any signs of wear
How you can be sure
You never have to take our word for it.
Every piece is documented in full: its Authentication ID, a detailed condition breakdown, and macro photography of the details that matter most. You see all of it before you buy, and past sales are independently verified by Vestiaire Collective. The evidence sits on the page; the decision stays yours.
