Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to the questions sellers and collectors ask most before booking an authentication.

Authentication & results

What types of items do you authenticate?

We focus on high‑end streetwear and luxury goods. That includes sneakers, hoodies, tees, designer clothing, and bags from brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Acne Studios, Gucci, Dior, and similar labels. If you’re unsure whether an item fits, you can ask before submitting.

How definitive are your verdicts?

Every authentication ends with one of three verdicts: authentic, not authentic, or inconclusive. If a verdict is inconclusive, we explain exactly why—usually due to missing information, unusual details, or conflicting signals—so you can decide how to proceed.

Do you use any AI or automated tools to authenticate items?

No. All authentications are performed by a human luxury specialist. We may use digital tools to organize reference material, but your verdict is always based on human judgement, not algorithmic automation.

Pricing & payments

How is pricing calculated for my item?

Pricing is per item and depends on category: $20 for streetwear items, $40 for luxury clothing, shoes, and accessories, $50 for most luxury bags and small leather goods, and $80 for Chanel & Hermès bags, which require additional scrutiny. Prices are shown in USD; your bank or payment provider handles currency conversion.

Are there any hidden fees or add‑on charges?

No. The price you see for your item type includes the full human review, written verdict, and PDF certificate. We don’t charge extra for basic follow‑up questions or clarifications.

Can I submit multiple items at once?

Yes. You can include several items in one order. Each item is priced individually. If you’re a store or reseller and need ongoing volume checks, contact us to discuss a tailored long‑term arrangement.

Timing & process

How fast will I receive my verdict and certificate?

In most cases, you’ll receive your written verdict and certificate within 24 hours of submitting clear photos of your item. Very complex cases or missing information can take longer, but we’ll let you know if we expect a delay.

Do you offer rush authentication?

We don’t offer paid rush options. Instead, we review items as quickly as possible within our standard 24‑hour window to keep the process fair and consistent for every client.

What happens if you can’t give a confident verdict?

If we can’t reach a confident conclusion from the information provided, we’ll ask for additional photos or context where possible. If a verdict remains inconclusive, we’ll explain why and you won’t be pushed into a definitive “yes” or “no” that we can’t stand behind.

Certificates, disputes & resellers

How can I use the certificate and written verdict?

Sellers use our documents in marketplace listings, private sales, and dispute cases to give buyers and support teams clear, expert evidence. Each platform has its own policies, but our goal is to provide structured, documented proof you can share easily.

Will your verdict help with marketplace disputes or chargebacks?

Many clients submit our verdicts and certificates as part of their evidence when a buyer questions authenticity or a platform reviews a case. While we can’t control platform decisions, our job is to give you credible, human‑reviewed documentation that supports your side of the story.

Do you offer discounts for resellers and stores?

If you regularly sell high‑value items and need ongoing authentication, contact us. We can discuss your typical volume and build a long‑term arrangement that fits your needs without compromising on the depth of each review.
