How We Ensure Authenticity

At The Brands Archive, quality-assured and authentic luxury goods are the very foundation of our business. It is therefore essential to us that every product we offer is genuine. But how can you actually be sure that a bag is authentic?

In this blog post we explain how we work to ensure that all products we offer are authentic, and why our expertise and collaboration with recognized partners is central to this process.

Trusted Partners

Authenticating luxury goods is a complex process that requires extensive knowledge and experience. At Brands Select we only work with professional buyers and established suppliers in the international pre-owned and vintage luxury market. This gives us access to products from serious and reliable sources, helping to ensure a high degree of authenticity in everything we offer.

Thorough Assessment

All our products undergo a careful authenticity assessment before sale. We evaluate details such as materials, stitching, symmetry, hardware, stampings and serial numbers to verify genuineness.

In addition, accessories such as authenticity cards, dust bags and original packaging are checked, as these can be important indicators of a product's origin. All of these elements form part of a comprehensive assessment of quality and authenticity.

Our Approach to Authenticity

Through a combination of thorough checks, expert assessment and collaboration with trusted partners, we work to ensure that all products we offer are authentic and of the highest quality.
