This is how we authenticate our articles

Authenticity verification from A to Z

At MY DESIGNER VINTAGE The authentication of each individual item is of utmost importance to us. We ensure that every bag meets our strict quality and authenticity standards. Therefore, each item undergoes a comprehensive, multi-stage verification process before being included in our online shop.

As part of this authentication process, we carefully inspect all relevant features – from seams, fittings, and materials to logos, stamps, and other brand-specific details. This ensures both the authenticity and the flawless condition of every item offered.

This meticulous process forms the basis of our work and enables a transparent and trustworthy shopping experience – without the risk of counterfeits. Our goal is to offer you a positive, relaxed, and secure shopping experience where you feel well-advised and in good hands. Only then can you fully enjoy your new bag.

Processing & Materials

At MY DESIGNER At VINTAGE, we meticulously and expertly examine every single detail of each bag. The heritage houses of Chanel and Hermès have stood for decades for the highest level of craftsmanship and exceptional quality – and we design our inspection process to reflect this precision and rigor. Our experts dedicate ample time to each individual bag, thoroughly and professionally analyzing all its features. Significant differences in quality can be identified simply by examining the workmanship and materials used, allowing for a reliable assessment.

An eye for detail

Trademark and stamp

Furthermore, we examine and analyze all brand-specific features and markings – including stamps, embossing, engravings, and other unique identifiers – under a microscope if necessary. This allows us to precisely evaluate and definitively authenticate each individual element.

Numbers don't lie

Measurements & Size Check

Another integral part of our authentication process is the precise measurement of all relevant dimensions. We check not only the dimensions of the bag itself, but also the dimensions of all associated accessories. These include, among other things, height, width, depth, and the length of straps or belts.

Accessories & Supplies

Our authenticity check is not limited to the bag itself, but also includes all accompanying accessories – such as serial numbers, receipts, boxes, and dust bags. Each of these items is carefully examined for quality, branding, and other relevant distinguishing features essential for a reliable assessment.

Only those who can be 100% certain of the authenticity of their designer bag can truly enjoy it.
