Designer Bag Authentication & Insurance Valuations


How Do I Know If My Bag Is Authentic?

Whether you've recently bought a designer bag, are thinking about selling one, need an insurance valuation or simply want peace of mind, knowing whether your item is authentic is important.

With fake designer bags becoming increasingly sophisticated, it can be difficult to know whether a bag is real or fake without expert help.

The Luxury Savvy provides authentication services, authentication certificates and insurance valuations for a wide range of designer brands, helping customers throughout the UK and internationally buy, sell and own luxury items with confidence.

We Offer Three Authentication Options to Suit Your Needs:

• Digital Authentication – Submit detailed photographs online for remote authentication.

• In-Person Authentication – Book an appointment to visit us at our Glasgow location.

• Postal Authentication – Send your item to us using our secure postal authentication service.

Is My Bag Real or Fake?

Many fake designer bags now look remarkably similar to genuine items, making it difficult to tell the difference.

Every item is carefully reviewed using a combination of specialist knowledge, authentication technology and brand-specific checks to help determine whether it is genuine.

Depending on the brand, this may include an assessment of materials, craftsmanship, hardware, stitching, date codes, serial numbers, stamps and other identifying characteristics.
