Authentication
At The Luxe Source, authenticity is our highest priority.
Every item we source undergoes a multi-step verification process to ensure that each piece we deliver is 100% authentic — never replica, never “dupe,” and never in question.
🪞 Our Process
1️⃣ Verification
We partner with the industry-leading authentication technology services used by luxury boutiques worldwide. Each item is scanned and analyzed using microscopic imagery and artificial intelligence to confirm brand-specific details, stitching, hardware, materials, and date codes.
2️⃣ AI + Human Expert Review
In addition to using technology, we collaborate with third-party luxury authentication experts who manually review photos and serials. For select brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Hermès, and Prada, a dual verification (AI + expert) is performed before the bag is cleared for shipment.
3️⃣ Certificate of Authenticity
Every sourced bag includes a Certificate of Authenticity, listing the brand, model, serial/date code (if available), verification method, and authenticity ID number.
This certificate serves as proof for insurance, resale, and valuation purposes.
🧾 Our Guarantee
We stand behind every item we source.
If a bag purchased through The Luxe Source is ever found to be inauthentic by a recognized authentication authority, we will issue a full refund upon verification of that report.
Your confidence is our commitment.
