How We Authenticate

How Do We Authenticate Designer Bags?

Every bag is inspected in front of you at the counter.

Counterfeit designer bags are everywhere. We verify before making any offer:

  • Date Codes & Serials — LV date codes, Chanel serial stickers, Hermes stamps
  • Hardware — zipper pulls, clasps, engravings, weight and finish
  • Stitching & Materials — thread count, leather grain, canvas alignment
  • Logos & Branding — font consistency, heat stamps, interior tags
  • Cross-Reference — compared against known retail specs and resale databases

If it doesn't pass, we tell you why. If it does, cash offer on the spot. Every bag we sell passed these same checks before it went in the case.

Selling Tips

What Gets the Best Offer for a Designer Bag?

Condition and completeness move the number most.

  • Condition — clean corners, firm handles, a fresh interior and hardware without heavy scratches.
  • Everything it came with — dust bag, box, shopping bag, strap, receipt and any authenticity card or booklet.
  • Demand — classic styles from the most sought-after houses hold their value best.
  • Honest wear is fine — light patina is normal on luxury leather. Heavy damage lowers the offer.

Bring the extras even if they're worn. They help us confirm the bag and they add to what it's worth.
