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.

All of my enquiries were answered professionally and they were very helpful from the start

All of my enquiries were answered professionally and they were very helpful from the start. I initially messaged PM for the classic flap details but had a change of mind (and heart) and I ended up purchasing a vintage bag that I really love! 😍 I also love that Ms Chanel and Ms Shine allowed me and my friend to browse around the place, they were really nice and friendly. I think PM is my new favourite therapy xx

I just love the color and it’s a dream bag for me

I just love the color and it’s a dream bag for me. The transaction was smooth and to top it all, the owner even gave me a discount. Really happy with this purchased.

The Goyard bag I purchased I thought I got a good deal. I went back in the United States and took it to a consignment store, they were just trying to buy it almost 30% of the amount I pay for, so basically this shop charge more for an average condition of a bag. I thought it’s more cheaper to buy in the Philippines, it’s a better deal to buy used designer bags here in the USA.

Amazing experience for my first lux purchase!

For a first time customer, investing in anything lux means I need guarantee that I get it with someone credible hence I decided to purchase from Purse Maison and as expected, they did not disappoint. Their catalog makes it both difficult and easy to make a purchase-- difficult cos there's just so much GOOD PRODUCTS in pristine condition to choose from but relatively easy cos you know whatever you get, it's worth it. All the staff were friendly and very accommodating, the place is very luxurious, and the products are well vetted. Everything you can ask for and more! Cant wait for my next one!

Top-Notch Service and Quality Of Bags!

Their customer service is superb! The SAs were incredibly accommodating and made every customer feel valued. They never discriminate based on the price of the bag you're purchasing, whether it's a small or big purchase, they treat everyone with the same level of respect and attention.

Kudos to the entire team for providing an excellent shopping experience. On top of that, their bags are of great quality and definitely worth recommending.
