Authentication Process – 100% Authentic Vintage Designer Bags

Not authentic = money back.

At The Bags List, we understand that purchasing a vintage designer bag is an investment, which is why it is of utmost importance that you have absolute certainty about the authenticity of your purchase. We guarantee that all items we offer are 100% authentic, and we even offer a money-back guarantee should there be any doubt about authenticity.

Our Authentication Guarantee
Each of our bags comes with a comprehensive authentication report from specialized third parties. Every bag includes an Entrupy report. Entrupy provides 99.1% accurate reports. If we have doubts about the outcome, we will have the bag authenticated again by other parties such as Legit Grails or Master Authentication.  

We leave nothing to chance, and these are the steps we take to ensure your bag is authentic.

How are items authenticated?

1. Thorough preliminary check
   Before a bag arrives with us, it is already thoroughly checked by an external source. In the case of private purchases, we begin our own strict check at the next step.

2. Material and detail check
   Once the bag arrives with us, we conduct an inspection. We look at the material, the shape of the bag, the stitching, and specific details such as sticker codes and serial numbers. If original documents such as a receipt or card are included with the bag, they are reviewed to verify everything is correct. 

3. Micro-detail photography
   We take high-quality close-up photos of small details that are often overlooked, such as the logo on the zipper, the back of the zipper, the 'made in' stamp, and other brand-specific features. These micro-details often distinguish between an authentic and a counterfeit bag.

4. Authentication report by experts
   After we have performed the necessary checks ourselves and are confident that the bag is authentic, we send the bag to external authentication experts, such as Legit Grails or Master Authentication, for a professional and independent verification. 

Multiple checks for maximum certainty!
Thanks to our comprehensive process, from the initial check to the independent report from professionals, we can confidently guarantee that every bag you purchase from us is authentic. Your peace of mind and trust in our products are central to us.
