The Examination

Under the lens

No. I

The Handle

Rolled edges, hand-burnished and saddle-stitched. We measure arc symmetry to the millimetre — counterfeit handles collapse where originals hold their curve.

No. II

The Hardware

Engraving depth, font weight, screw type. Plated zamak shines wrong; solid brass wears right. The metal never lies twice.

No. III

The Stitching

Saddle stitch at eight to nine per inch, angled like grains of rice. Machine-copied stitches lie flat — and lie.

No. IV

The Heat Stamp

Foil depth, kerning, serif terminals. The stamp is where most counterfeits finally confess.

The Maisons We Examine

We authenticate Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, Prada, Bottega Veneta, Fendi, Saint Laurent, Celine, Goyard and Loewe, among more than thirty maisons.

The Verdict,
In Writing

A signed, uniquely numbered certificate within 24 hours. Authentic, or counterfeit — stated plainly, verifiable online at any time.

A counterfeit can fool a camera, a marketplace, even a boutique. It cannot fool a trained eye that has examined ten thousand originals.
