Our authenticity promise

Real names. Verified pieces.

Every designer item that hits our floor has been inspected, evaluated, and — when needed — formally authenticated. If we can't verify it, we don't sell it.

How we verify

The bigger picture

Why authenticity matters

Counterfeit goods aren't just a knockoff problem — they're an industry. Fakes, replicas, look-alikes, reproductions, knockoffs: it's all the same thing, and it's all illegal.

$250B

Annual losses to U.S. businesses from counterfeit consumer products, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Some shoppers think that if a tag says "faux" or "replica," buying it is fair game. It isn't. Trademark infringement is illegal regardless of how it's labeled, and counterfeiting is punishable by fines, confiscation, and prosecution.

When a store sells a counterfeit item — knowingly or not — the trust is gone. Customers wonder what else isn't real. That's why we built our intake process to catch fakes before they catch you.

If you have any questions about a specific brand, item, or our authentication process, we'd rather you ask. Reach out anytime.
