Authentication Process
At Brandsamsara, we are committed to providing our customers with only authentic second-hand luxury items. To ensure the authenticity of every product, we implement a rigorous verification process:
Expert Evaluation: Each item is examined by our team of luxury goods specialists, drawing on expertise built since 2007. They are trained to identify even the most intricate details of authenticity, from craftsmanship to materials used.
Comprehensive Inspection: Our inspection process includes a detailed review of the item's serial numbers, logos, hardware, stitching, and overall condition. We compare these elements against known standards and databases of genuine products.
Provenance Verification: We investigate the item's history, including previous ownership and original purchase details. This helps us trace the product back to its origins and confirm its legitimacy.
Entrupy Technology & Certificate: We work with Entrupy, the AI-powered authentication service used across the luxury resale industry. Eligible bags and leather goods are issued an Entrupy Certificate at no additional cost, carrying a unique number you can verify independently at any time at entrupy.com. Entrupy's authentication is backed by its own financial guarantee. Categories not covered by Entrupy, such as jewellery, clothing and certain accessories, are verified through expert examination and provenance instead.
Ongoing Training: Our team continuously updates their knowledge and skills to stay ahead of counterfeiters. This ongoing education ensures that we are always using the latest techniques and information to authenticate products.
At Brandsamsara, your trust is our top priority. We take every measure to ensure that the second-hand luxury item you purchase from us is not only authentic but also of the highest quality. Shop with confidence knowing that authenticity is at the core of our business.
Authentication for items you already own: We also offer bespoke authentication upon request for pieces you own or are considering buying elsewhere. Bring your item to our store in Holargos and our team will examine it and issue a written assessment. €50 for luxury brands, €100 for Hermès, exotic skins, rare styles.
