My purchase did not come with original authenticity card? Is it authentic?

Due to the nature of the bags being preloved, we do not always receive the authentication card from the original owner and therefore cannot always provide it. However, if it is included this will be listed in the Summary section of the listing. 

The invoice or proof of purchase from Handbag Clinic is valid as authenticity proof thanks to our Authenticity Guarantee.

Each item goes through a multi-check process by our skilled Buying Team before being placed for sale online and in store.

These cards can also be non-authentic so no longer prove an item is authentic. A true authenticator knows these are no longer proof of authenticity unless you can spot the genuine card from a non-genuine. So do not be worried if your item is no longer paired with it's original card.

We are proud gatekeepers in the removal of non-authentic goods in the luxury designer market as we know the damage these items have on the fashion houses, the market itself and platforms such as ours.

Also, The Handbag Clinic performs professional authentication for some of the most renowned Auction Houses in the world so you can shop confidently knowing we are a trusted voice in authentication.
