At FASHIONPHILE,
Authentication Is a Science.
In a resale industry plagued by sellers of counterfeit goods, buyers are often left asking: Is it authentic? At FASHIONPHILE, authenticity is in our DNA, and authentication is a science we’ve mastered. We go beyond the seams to see and feel what others miss so you can confidently shop 100% authentic ultra-luxury handbags and accessories.
Brand-Specific Expertise
Every ultra-luxury handbag or accessory we receive undergoes a meticulous multi-step authentication process by a brand expert.
Counterfeit Detection
Trained to detect fakes, our authenticators inspect ultra-luxury pieces from top to bottom and the inside out.
Background Check
We ensure every item meets the manufacturers’ quality standards in craftsmanship, stamping, stitching, engravings, hardware, date codes, materials, and serial numbers, where applicable.
Our Expert Process
Identifying Authenticity Markers
With authentication, it’s all in the designer's details. Every luxury brand has distinct authenticity markers, and our brand-specific authenticators recognize them at first sight and touch.
Damage
From straps to lining, we thoroughly inspect each item, documenting and disclosing any damage we find. Most pre-loved pieces we sell are in excellent condition, with many very close to new.
Repairs
During our authentication process, we assess any repairs or alterations made to an item. We note these observations in our product description to maintain transparency with our shoppers.
Condition
We carefully assess every item we receive, noting any significant signs of wear. Upon check-in, we clean each piece and detail its condition in our product description.
Ownership History
In the secondary market, an item’s provenance matters. At FASHIONPHILE, we verify ownership history through a straightforward process. Seasoned sellers must attest that they are the rightful owners of their items, and new sellers presenting new merchandise must provide proof of purchase.
Original Packaging
When an item comes with its original box, dustbag, or case, we keep it for the next owner to discover. To protect your investment, we provide a complimentary FASHIONPHILE dustbag with every purchase. Check the Comes With section of a product’s description to see what accompanies your piece.
FASHIONPHILE Certificate of Authenticity
Every ultra-luxury piece that passes our authentication process receives a FASHIONPHILE Certificate of Authenticity. This certification seals your ultra-luxury deal, guaranteeing it for life.
FASHIONPHILE Certified
As global leaders in ultra-luxury authentication, we now offer our expertise through FASHIONPHILE Certified, our in-person authentication service for your ultra-luxury bags and accessories. Visit a FASHIONPHILE Flagship location to authenticate your items with our experts.
Our Lifetime Guarantee
Your trust is paramount to us. We guarantee the authenticity of every ultra-luxury item we sell or 100% of your money back.
