Professional Authenticity Verification for Luxury Handbags

Our experienced experts have been working with a wide variety of luxury handbags from different brands and models on a daily basis for many years. Each authenticity check is performed through thorough visual inspection as well as optical and tactile analysis. In addition, we rely on state-of-the-art technology: Your bag is scanned using an Entrupy device with a high-resolution lens. This innovative method uses artificial intelligence and an extensive reference database to precisely verify even the finest details and distinctive features – often far beyond what is visible to the naked eye.

Once your bag arrives with us, we conduct the authenticity check within 1 to 3 business days. You'll receive the result promptly via email, and we'll send your bag back to you immediately and fully insured.

We verify designer handbags, wallets, small leather goods such as cosmetic bags, key cases, agendas, etc. from brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Gucci, Dior, Prada, Fendi, Bottega Veneta and many other leading luxury labels using Entrupy. Shoes, clothing, or jewelry currently cannot be verified with Entrupy.

Trust in expertise and years of experience. At ILoveHandbags, we love exclusively original designer handbags – which is exactly why we can often tell at a glance whether a bag is genuine or a counterfeit. But we don't rely solely on our trained eye: As a verified partner of Entrupy, we offer you one of the most reliable authentication methods in the world. With an accuracy of 99.1%, Entrupy combines cutting-edge technology with an extensive database.

Yes, you can use our authenticity verification service regardless of whether you've purchased from us. The service is available to everyone who wants to have their designer handbag verified. Bags purchased directly in our shop are of course already thoroughly checked and guaranteed to be authentic.

With inherited items, documentation or purchase history is often missing or no longer traceable. That's exactly what our authenticity service is for. Our experts carefully examine the bag and confirm whether it's an original. That way you'll have peace of mind – whether you want to keep the bag or sell it.

Yes, of course. With used bags, information about their origin is often missing – this also applies to inherited pieces. With our authenticity verification, you'll get the assurance of whether your bag is an original.

No, a receipt is not required for the authenticity verification. We check every bag independently of any existing documentation based solely on its characteristics, materials, and details. However, if you have documents such as a receipt, ID card, etc. you're welcome to send them along – they'll be included in the overall assessment, but they're not a requirement.

Yes. After successful verification, you'll receive an official Entrupy authenticity certificate. This is stored on a secure server and is tamper-proof. Entrupy is a globally recognized system used by law enforcement, courts, TikTok Shop, and leading re-commerce platforms. Your certificate therefore enjoys a particularly high level of trust and acceptance – even when reselling.

After your booking, you'll receive all important information about safe shipping from us. Please make sure to insure your bag according to its value. We recommend shipping with DHL – including personal delivery and optional increased insurance coverage for items over 500 €. This ensures your bag is optimally protected throughout transport.

If our verification shows that your bag is not authentic, we'll inform you immediately and explain the details of the result. We'll then send the bag back to you. If you purchased the bag recently, we're happy to support you with a confirmation of the result so you can initiate a potential return with the seller.

"Pre-Loved" is an internationally used term for a second-hand bag. It means a piece that has already been worn. For us, "pre-loved but authenticated" means the bag has been carefully examined by our experts and verified beyond doubt as an original. So you'll get a genuine designer piece with history – and complete peace of mind.

It actually makes sense to have your own bag verified if you didn't buy it directly from the brand manufacturer. As a seller, you can be held liable for authenticity. If a buyer discovers that a bag is not authentic, they can demand a return. Offering counterfeits can also be a criminal offense.

Yes, of course. If you're unsure whether an authenticity check makes sense for your bag, you can contact us anytime beforehand. Just send us your questions or photos of the bag if you'd like – we'll advise you with no obligation before you book a verification.

If you suspect that the bag you purchased is counterfeit, but the seller insists on its authenticity and cannot provide proof, we'll support you with our professional authentication service.
If it turns out that your bag is not genuine, you'll receive a certificate from Entrupy. With this, you'll have a solid foundation to request a refund from the seller. Many reputable sellers accept this and will reimburse your purchase price. If they don't, you can enforce your rights with the help of a lawyer.
The cost of the authentication service can typically be claimed as additional damages from the seller.
