How We Authenticate Luxury Bags

Authenticated luxury bags in the Philippines. Purse Maison authenticates every item before it is listed for sale. Our process combines an in-house inspection with third-party authentication where applicable, so clients can shop brand-new and preloved luxury with confidence.

Who authenticates our items?

Every item is reviewed by Purse Maison’s trained in-house authentication team before it is published. Where applicable, we also use independent third-party services, including Entrupy and LegitGrails for supported brands and items. The exact authentication route depends on the brand, model, age, materials, and available reference data.

Our authentication standards are overseen by Jay-Ann Claire Bincal, Founder of Purse Maison. Editorial reviewer: Jay-Ann Claire Bincal. Last reviewed: July 30, 2026.

What do we inspect?

  • Construction and stitching: stitch count, alignment, spacing, edge finishing, and overall craftsmanship.
  • Materials: leather grain, canvas, lining, texture, color, and aging consistent with the model and production era.
  • Hardware: engravings, weight, finish, shape, fasteners, feet, chains, and other hardware details.
  • Stamps, serials, and date codes: brand-specific stamps, serial numbers, date codes, holograms, microchips, or other identifiers where applicable.
  • Provenance and inclusions: receipts, boxes, dust bags, cards, locks, keys, straps, and other accessories supplied with the item.
  • Condition and alterations: repairs, replacements, refurbishment, odor, wear, and disclosed flaws that affect the item’s value or authenticity.

Authentication is model- and era-specific. No single detail is treated as proof on its own; the item is assessed as a whole against the manufacturer’s established standards and reliable reference points.

Examples by brand

Hermès

For Hermès pieces, we examine the leather and construction, saddle stitching, blind or date stamps, craftsman marks, hardware engravings and finish, shape, provenance, and inclusions. Checks vary by model, leather, hardware, and production year.

Chanel

For Chanel pieces, we examine quilting, leather, stitching, structure, hardware, serial stickers or microchips where applicable, series details, provenance, and inclusions. Vintage and newer microchip-era pieces require different reference checks.

Louis Vuitton

For Louis Vuitton pieces, we examine canvas or leather, heat stamps, date codes or microchips where applicable, stitching, hardware, glazing, construction, provenance, and inclusions.

Goyard

For Goyard pieces, we examine the canvas pattern and printing, structure, heat stamps, stitching, hardware, provenance, and model-specific construction details.

These are examples, not a complete checklist. Checks differ by brand, model, production era, material, and condition.

Our authenticity guarantee

All Purse Maison items are authentic, or we will give you 100% of your money back. This promise is part of our commitment to trust and is applied together with the documentation and conditions in our published policies.

What happens if you have a question about an item?

Contact us immediately with your order details and the item in question. Our team will review the listing, photographs, authentication records, inclusions, and the physical item when required. Please keep the item, security tag, packaging, and inclusions in the same condition while the review is ongoing. If a verified authenticity issue is established, our authenticity guarantee and applicable return policy will apply.

For questions about a purchase, visit our Contact Us page. For returns and policy details, see our FAQs.

Exceptional customer service and the best selection of luxury bags I’ve ever seen in one spot! You can make a reservation but I was able to walk in without one. The quality of the bags is excellent and I would say the pricing is very fair. I appreciated the help from the sales associate Chanel who was friendly and attentive. I tried to branch out to Loewe and Celine but then landed with my favorite brand YSL again. I’m happy to head back home to the United States with this beautiful new bag in hand. ❤️

With purchase of luxury bags you’re supposed to experience luxury…none of that ever happened

With purchase of luxury bags you’re supposed to experience luxury…none of that ever happened. We had to reach out to the store repeatedly to buy over a million worth of bags. The owners did not show any interest. The money transaction from overseas was poorly handled to the point we didn’t get our merchandise on time over a $14 shortage.

Got a New Chanel Passport Holder and Consigned 4 of my bags

I went to Purse Maison to consign 4 of my bags, this was not the 1st time I consigned an item to them but its the 1st time that I went to their new showroom. I was impressed with their new showroom and the professionalism of their staff. From the looks of the showroom, the displays, on how the staff handled every consigned item, their paperworks.
While waiting for my transaction to be completed, I ended up getting a new Chanel passport cover while waiting 🤩 it was a great experience and I can say Purse Maison is the perfect go-to-shop for all your luxury bag finds and if you to consign any of your babies (ofcourse i meant bag😅) from your collection. ❤️
