The Authentication Guarantee

Every Piece, Verified

How we make sure your item is the real thing

The single most important thing we do is make sure every handbag is genuine. Here's exactly how — and the promise we make on every order.

Counterfeits have gotten sophisticated, and the online resale world is full of guesswork. We take that worry off your shoulders entirely. No piece is offered until it has passed a careful, hands-on authentication.

Every item is authenticated in person — by Steven.
01

Expertly Sourced

We hand-select each handbag from trusted channels — never mass-listed, never rushed.

02

Inspected by Hand

Hardware, stitching, materials and maker's marks are all reviewed up close, in person.

03

Professionally Authenticated

Every detail is checked against verified references. If it doesn't meet our standard, it never joins the collection.

04

Beautifully Presented

Cleaned, cared for, and packaged with the attention a luxury piece deserves.

What we check

Any one detail can be faked. It's the whole picture together that tells the truth — and that's what we verify.

Our Promise to You

Every piece, guaranteed authentic

Every handbag is professionally authenticated before it ships. If a piece is ever found not to be authentic, you get a full refund — no fine print. You never have to play detective. That's Steven's job.

Frequently asked questions

How do you authenticate handbags?

Every item is examined in person against verified references — hardware, stitching, materials, maker's marks, serial or date codes, lining, and overall construction. If a piece doesn't meet our standard, it never joins the collection. Learn more in our guide to spotting fakes.

What happens if an item is not authentic?

In the unlikely event an item is ever determined not to be authentic, we provide a full refund. That is our guarantee.

Are your handbags new or pre-owned?

Most of our pieces are authenticated pre-owned, ranging from like-new to gently loved. We describe condition honestly and show detailed photos of every item.
