We Authenticate!
We feel ethically responsible for selling authentic luxury items only. In order to ensure our products are authentic we require that all designer handbags (including wallets and pouches) such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci & Bottega Veneta are accompanied by proof of purchase at the time of consignment, or we will use our authentication services.

LUXURY BAG AUTHENTICATION FOR CONSIGNORS
Authenticity cards and serial numbers are not accepted as a form of authentication because they are easily replicated.
If you no longer have your receipt you can normally call your place of purchase and ask to have your receipt reprinted. If this is not an option you may obtain a Certificate of Authentication from authenticatefirst.com. If you are planning on consigning a bag with us, you can also have us do it for a $25 fee per piece. Hermes bags have a $55 authentication fee.
Please do your research online and bring that information with you. We use notable resale sites to find the current market value of items and have the final say on pricing.
