Our Authentication Process
Every Bag is Independently Authenticated
At Inked Pre-Owned Luxury Handbags, we take authenticity seriously. Every item we sell is authenticated by trusted third-party experts before it is listed for sale. We will never sell a bag we are not 100% confident in.
Third-Party Authentication
We work with a range of reputable, independent authentication specialists who are experts in luxury goods. Each bag is assessed by professionals who know these brands inside out — from stitching and hardware to date codes and materials.
What Our Authenticators Check
- Hardware & zips — quality, weight, and finish
- Stitching & craftsmanship — consistency and precision
- Materials — leather, canvas, lining, and trims
- Date codes & serial numbers — where applicable
- Brand-specific identifiers — unique to each luxury house
Condition Grading
Once authenticated, every item is graded by condition so you know exactly what you're buying:
- Excellent — Like new, minimal to no signs of use
- Very Good — Light signs of use, well maintained
- Good — Visible signs of use, still in great functional condition
Our Guarantee
Every bag sold by Inked Pre-Owned Luxury Handbags comes with our authenticity guarantee. If for any reason an item is found to be inauthentic, we will offer a full refund. Your trust means everything to us.
