What we inspect
Date & heat stamps
We read date codes, heat stamps and their placement and font against the era and maker the item claims.
Hardware engraving & weight
Zippers, clasps and feet are checked for engraving depth, finish and the heft expected of genuine metal fittings.
Stitch count & pitch
We count stitches per section and assess pitch, angle and tension, where uneven or off-spec runs commonly appear.
Lining & interior codes
Interior stamps, blind embossing and lining construction are inspected against reference for the model and period.
Leather grain
Grain pattern, edge painting and how the leather sits and folds are reviewed for consistency with the claimed material.
Seams & tags
Seam alignment, edge finishing and any labels or authenticity cards are examined for correct format and construction.

Frequently asked
- How do I authenticate a bag from photos?
- You upload clear photos of the specified areas — date or heat stamp, hardware engraving, interior codes, stitching and leather grain. Two authenticators and AI review them together. Most results are ready in under an hour, and you receive a digital certificate.
- Which luxury brands can you check?
- We authenticate bags and small leather goods from Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci and Prada, among others. If a submission needs additional angles to reach a confident verdict, we ask for extra photos before issuing the certificate.
- How much does bag authentication cost and how long does it take?
- Each item is $35, paid from your dashboard balance topped up in USDT (TRC-20) with no deposit fees. Turnaround is typically 20 to 55 minutes and always under one hour, unless a disputed case needs further photos.
- Is the certificate real or fake proof I can share with a buyer?
- Each certificate has a CC- serial and a public QR link at /verify, so any buyer can confirm the verdict independently. It documents our two-expert plus AI review rather than replacing the brand's own records.
