Submit clear photos of your handbags through our order form. Our specialists examine every detail against known authentic examples and email you a verdict — authentic or counterfeit — within 24 hours, along with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Do I need to ship my item?

No shipping needed. Authentication is entirely photo-based. Upload images from the required angles and our team does the rest — from anywhere in the world.

How much does handbags authentication cost?

Pricing depends on the category and turnaround you choose. See the pricing section on this page for exact amounts. Express options (12h and 2h) are available at checkout.

What if the result says counterfeit?

You still receive your certificate clearly stating the verdict. This protects you legally when returning the item to a seller or disputing a transaction.

Which brands do you authenticate?

We authenticate all major luxury brands in the handbags category — including Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and hundreds more. If your brand is not listed, add it at checkout and our team will confirm availability.
