Authenticity Guarantee
Our Authentication Approach
Different fashion houses use different materials, construction techniques, hardware, markings and production details. For that reason, every handbag is assessed individually rather than through a single checklist.
01 — Overall Construction
We review the shape, proportions, structure, craftsmanship and construction of the handbag for consistency with the relevant brand and model.
02 — Materials & Craftsmanship
Canvas, leather, lining, stitching, glazing and finishing details are examined for quality and consistency.
03 — Hardware & Engravings
Clasps, zips, locks, buckles, chains, rivets and other hardware are reviewed alongside engravings, fonts and finishes where applicable.
04 — Brand & Production Details
Depending on the brand and age of the piece, we examine relevant stamps, serial information, date codes, microchips, labels, manufacturing details and other identifiers where present.
Condition and Authenticity Are Different
A genuine pre-owned handbag can show signs of previous use.
Scratches, patina, softened leather, hardware wear or other age-related characteristics do not automatically affect authenticity.
For clarity, Bagistry Heritage assesses condition separately from authenticity.
Our current condition categories include:
Brand New — pristine and unworn
Excellent — exceptionally well preserved
Very Good — gently used and well maintained
Good — visible signs of use while retaining its quality and character
Individual product pages provide the condition information relevant to each piece.
Transparency Matters
We believe trust is built through clear information rather than vague promises.
Where available, our product listings may include details such as:
- model or reference information
- materials
- colour
- hardware
- dimensions
- condition
- included accessories
- serial, date-code or production information where appropriate
- detailed product photography
Because pre-owned pieces vary, the information available may differ from one handbag to another.
