Authenticity

The Authentication Process

Every item on our site has passed our multi-step authentication process. Our multi-point authentication process begins with a manual inspection by our in-house expert who offer authentication opinions.  This includes a comprehensive examination of brand and style-specific markings, including hardware, stitching, materials, date/serial codes and, if applicable, additional accessories such as authenticity cards and receipts.

As part of our authentication process, we also offer Entrupy as option, a technology that takes multiple microscopic images of an item to determine authenticity with 99.1% accuracy specific to handbags and some accessories.

The use of both manual and technological authentication methods allows for a very precise result.
