A luxury bag is identified by a multitude of details: the material, construction, finishes and markings. To establish its authenticity, these elements must be examined together. A box, dust bag or receipt alone is not enough to make a determination.
At Les Folies d’Eugénie, authentication is part of the selection process. Our team draws on its expertise and inspection tools, including Entrupy. Here’s how this technology works and what to check when a bag comes with a certificate.
How does Entrupy authentication work?
Entrupy combines high-resolution images with artificial intelligence analysis. Images taken using its app are compared with a reference database containing authentic items and counterfeits. The system then issues a result of “Authentic” or “Unidentified.”
This process requires access to the item to take the requested images. It does not involve simply submitting a few photos taken from a listing. Entrupy describes this method in its FAQ on bag and leather goods authentication.
What role do our experts play?
Our specialists examine the materials, stitching, logos and manufacturing details. They also review the available documents and check that they are consistent with the item. Entrupy is used as part of this inspection process, depending on the item’s characteristics.
Entrupy’s coverage depends in particular on the brand and model. A bag offered by the Maison does not automatically come with an Entrupy certificate. Our team can provide details of the checks carried out and the documents available for each item. Our page Authenticity and expert assessment of luxury items explains our approach.
How can you verify an Entrupy certificate?
An Entrupy certificate has a unique link hosted on Entrupy’s servers. To view it, use this link or the official Entrupy certificate verification service. A screenshot alone cannot be used to verify it.
Take the time to compare the certificate details with the bag in question. If anything doesn’t match, ask the seller for clarification before purchasing. Entrupy is an independent authentication service: its certificate is not a document issued by the brand that made the bag.
Authenticity, condition and accessories: three things to check
Authentication answers a specific question: whether the item is authentic. It does not, on its own, describe the item’s condition, any marks on the leather or the accessories included in the sale.
For each listing, look at the photos of the item for sale, its description and the “Included” section. A box, dust bag or certificate is provided only when listed. To make a more informed choice, see our guide to the condition, photos and accessories of pre-owned bags.
Questions about the bag you’re interested in?
Send us a link to its listing through our contact form. We can provide details of the checks carried out, the documents available and the boutique where the item is located. You can also meet our teams at our boutiques in France and Switzerland.
