Our Expertise
Our authentication process is led in-house by a specialist with over eight years of direct experience evaluating vintage luxury handbags, clothing, and accessories.
To date, more than 10,000 pieces have been reviewed, spanning decades of design from houses such as Gucci, Prada, and Chloé. This experience reflects a deep familiarity with how materials, markings, and craftsmanship evolve over time.
This is not checklist-based authentication. It relies on trained judgment, long-term exposure, and close comparison — an approach shaped through years of repetition and attention to detail.
Our Process
EXAMINED
Every piece is reviewed in hand before it is ever considered for sale. Materials, stitching, structure, and overall construction are assessed to ensure they are consistent with the brand’s standards and the period in which the design was originally produced.
VERIFIED
Serial numbers, markings, and brand-specific details are cross-referenced against our internal references and archival knowledge. Nothing is taken at face value. Each element is confirmed within its proper historical and design context.
APPROVED
A piece moves forward only when both its physical characteristics and its documented details align. Approval is given once the design, origin, and period hold up under close, informed inspection.
Our commitment
Authenticity sits at the core of everything we do. It shapes how we source, how we review, and how we decide what ultimately earns a place in our collection.
Our approach is built on experience, repetition, and care. Over the years, more than 8,000 vintage pieces reviewed through our hands have gone on to be independently authenticated by established resale platforms such as Vestiaire Collective, where each item undergoes an additional layer of verification.
When a piece is listed here, it reflects careful evaluation and informed verification carried out before it is ever offered for sale. Each item has met our standards for authenticity through consistent review and approval.
