Authentication
At Fashionistaway
we take immense pride in our authentication process
Ensuring that every item we offer is a testament to quality and authenticity. Each piece undergoes a rigorous multi-phase authentication journey before it is made available on our platform, setting us apart in the luxury market.
Our authentication process has proven to be highly effective against counterfeiters who continuously challenge the integrity of the preloved luxury sector. By adhering to our stringent three-phase authentication protocol, we confidently guarantee that every item we sell is 100% authentic.
Phase 1
Picture Authentication
Before engaging with potential sellers, we require them to submit detailed photographs of each item. These images must be captured in well-lit environments and from specific, clear angles to provide us with a comprehensive view of the item’s condition. Drawing on years of experience in authenticating luxury products, we know that these critical details play a vital role in our assessment. This initial step allows us to filter out obvious counterfeits and items that do not meet our high standards, saving time and ensuring that we only present the best to our customers.
Phase 2
Physical Authentication
When it comes to physical authentication, we arrange meetings with sellers in well-lit locations to facilitate a thorough inspection. Our experts examine every aspect of the item, including color, structure, leather texture, materials, hardware sound, stitching, brand stampings, engravings, scent, and weight. We take our time to ensure that no detail goes unnoticed, as each element contributes to the overall authenticity and quality of the piece.
Phase 3
Final Authentication by our lead authenticator
The final phase involves a comprehensive review by our Lead Authenticator, who conducts an additional thorough inspection to ensure that nothing has been overlooked. This critical step provides a second opinion on the item’s authenticity and condition, allowing us to accurately price it based on its quality.
By following these procedures, we have established an efficient and reliable authentication process that instills confidence in our customers. At Fashionistaway, we are committed to delivering only the finest luxury items, ensuring that your investment is secure and authentic. Experience the assurance that comes with our unparalleled authentication process—because authenticity is our promise.
