Seamless, secure,
luxury authentication.

Get a clear verdict on your luxury item in 3 simple steps.

1

Submit item details & photos

Start your request in our secure online portal. Select the product category and brand, then complete a short form with key details such as model (if known), serial or date code.

You are then guided through the photos we need for this type of item. The interface specifies each angle and close-up so you know exactly what to shoot. Clear, high-resolution smartphone photos in neutral lighting are usually sufficient.

Once the form and photos are complete, submit the request. It is then immediately queued for review—no shipping, no logistics, 100% remote.

Rigorous Expert Analysis

The information and all photos you provide are reviewed by a specialist in France, drawing on years of hands-on experience. Our process is as follows:

  • We verify the item details and context you submitted to ensure we clearly understand the piece being examined.
  • We perform a detailed visual analysis of all photos, looking at materials, construction, markings, hardware, interior and wear patterns.
  • We compare these observations against brand- and era-specific references, including fonts, stamp layouts, hardware shapes, stitching, linings and serial/date code formats.
  • When available, we review the purchase context and any receipts and packaging to confirm they are consistent with the item and the brand.

image_search A sharp eye for detail

Over the course of our careers, we have authenticated tens of thousands of items from photos, developing a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of the subtle differences between genuine and counterfeit pieces.

While we use technology for security and efficiency, we never replace human judgment with AI. The final decision is always made by a qualified French expert.

Receive your definitive verdict & certificate

Within 24 hours of receiving your request, we issue a secure PDF certificate in your account and by email. It records the item details, the verdict, the date of issue and a unique certificate ID.

Each certificate includes a QR code linking to our live database. Anyone you share it with can confirm in seconds that the document is genuine and that the verdict has not been altered.

We issue one of three verdicts for every request: AUTHENTIC, NOT AUTHENTIC or INCONCLUSIVE when the photo evidence does not allow a safe decision.

verified
Authentic

The item is consistent with known authentic production standards for the brand and model. A certificate stating “Authentic” is issued.

block
Not Authentic

The item shows inconsistencies or features associated with known counterfeits. A certificate stating “Not authentic” is issued.

help
Inconclusive

Evidence is insufficient for a safe verdict. This is a rare outcome and used conservatively to protect integrity. You will be refunded the full amount in this case.

Verification Process

How verification works

Anyone who receives your certificate can verify it directly with us. If a PDF has been modified, or if someone tries to recreate it, the result on our verification page will not match.

check_circle Verification Methods

visibility Live Confirmation

Our verification page checks the certificate against our secure database. It returns the current status, key item details, verdict and issue date so third parties can confirm that the certificate is genuine and up to date.

Common Questions

Do I need to ship my item? expand_more

No. The service is 100% remote and based on photos.

Can one certificate cover multiple items? expand_more

No. Each certificate corresponds to one specific item with its own unique ID, characteristics and verdict.

What kind of photos do you need, and do I need a professional camera? expand_more

You don’t need professional equipment. Clear, high-resolution smartphone photos in neutral lighting are usually sufficient. During the request, the portal tells you exactly which angles and close-ups to take (overall views, markings, hardware, serial/date codes, interior, etc.).

What if my photos are still not good enough? expand_more

We pause the review and ask for additional angles or clearer photos. We do not issue a verdict until we have sufficient visual evidence.

How long does it take? expand_more

Most certificates are issued within 24 hours after we receive complete photos and information for the item.

What happens if the verdict is inconclusive? expand_more

“Inconclusive” is used rarely and only when the photo evidence does not allow a safe decision. In this case, no certificate is issued and you are refunded in full.

Do you use AI to make the decision? expand_more

No. While technology may support the workflow, the final decision is always made by a human expert in France with years of experience.

Which items can I submit for authentication? expand_more

The full scope of items we authenticate is detailed on our What We Authenticate page.
