Authentication is conducted in-house by luxury handbag specialists with decades of combined forensic appraisal experience. We assess symmetry, hardware weight and composition, foil stamp typography, hand saddle-stitching, blind date stamps, and leather scent to ensure zero counterfeit or altered items ever enter our inventory.
