Authentication &Verification

Every bag passes 3 rounds of authentication where expert authenticators examine materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial numbers, and other brand-specific details. We use a combination of trained professionals and proprietary verification technology to ensure authenticity.

We use five clear condition tiers to help you shop with confidence:

  • NEW – Unused, with original tags and/or packaging.
  • EXCELLENT – Like new, with minimal to no visible signs of wear.
  • VERY GOOD – Light wear, well maintained, overall great condition.
  • GOOD – Moderate wear with some visible imperfections.
  • FAIR – Noticeable wear and signs of use, but fully functional.

Every listing includes detailed photos and clear condition notes so you know exactly what you’re purchasing.

We authenticate the bag for genuineness, verify the condition, check for any undisclosed damage, photograph the bag comprehensively, and package it securely for shipment to the buyer. For more information, please Verification
