Authenticity at Luxe Marché
Authenticity Is Not A Marketing Claim. It’s Our Responsibility.
At Luxe Marché, every item we sell is authenticated before it is listed for sale.
We believe trust is the foundation of luxury resale. Whether it is a Hermès handbag, a Cartier bracelet, a Chanel wallet or a Van Cleef & Arpels creation, every piece that enters our inventory undergoes a rigorous multi-stage authentication process designed to identify even the most sophisticated counterfeits.
Our commitment is simple:
If we cannot verify its authenticity, we will not sell it.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy Towards Counterfeits
Luxe Marché maintains an uncompromising zero-tolerance policy for counterfeit items.
Every item accepted by Luxe Marché must successfully pass both our internal authentication procedures and independent third-party verification before it is approved for sale.
Items that do not meet our authentication standards are rejected and never listed on our platform.
A Multi-Layer Authentication Process
Luxury authentication is never based on a single indicator.
Our specialists evaluate a combination of factors including:
- Materials and craftsmanship
- Stitching and construction
- Brand-specific manufacturing details
- Date codes and serial numbers
- Hallmarks and engravings
- Hardware quality and finishing
- Provenance and supporting documentation
This comprehensive approach allows us to assess authenticity with the highest possible degree of confidence.
Stage One: Preliminary Review
Before an item is physically received, our team conducts an initial assessment using photographs, videos, documentation and available product information.
This allows us to identify obvious concerns before an item enters our inventory.
Stage Two: In-House Authentication
Once an item arrives at Luxe Marché, it undergoes a detailed physical inspection by our in-house authentication team.
Each article is examined for authenticity, condition, craftsmanship and overall quality.
We review every available detail, from leather characteristics and stitching patterns to hardware construction, serial numbers and brand-specific manufacturing markers.
Only items that successfully pass this stage proceed further.
Stage Three: Independent Third-Party Authentication
Every item is subsequently reviewed by an independent third-party authentication service.
These specialists focus exclusively on luxury authentication and provide an additional layer of expert verification.
Luxe Marché bears the cost of this service because we believe trust should never be optional.
Only after an item successfully clears independent verification does it become eligible for listing.
Final Approval & Certification
Items that successfully complete our authentication process are approved for sale and accompanied by:
- A Certificate of Authenticity.
- A detailed condition assessment.
- Luxe Marché’s Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee.
