Authentication

Always Authentic

At Vintage Habits, authenticity isn’t a promise — it’s a standard.
Every item in our collection is sourced from trusted professional suppliers and industry partners who specialize exclusively in luxury resale. This means each piece is pre-authenticated at origin before ever reaching our store.

Because integrity matters as much as beauty, we take additional care to review every item to ensure it meets our strict quality and authenticity standards — from materials and stitching to hardware and brand-specific identifiers.

Only pieces that pass our checks become part of Vintage Habits.

Our Authentication Approach

Sourcing You Can Trust

We work with high-level, long-established suppliers who operate within the professional luxury resale ecosystem. These partners authenticate inventory before release, meaning our pieces arrive to us already verified — not casually, but through structured processes developed over years of expertise.

This allows us to curate a selection that is:

✔ Authentic
✔ High-quality
✔ Traceable
✔ Professionally handled

Counterfeit goods are never accepted. Full stop.

Expert Visual & Structural Review

Once items arrive at Vintage Habits, they undergo an additional internal review, including:

• Material & leather analysis
• Stitching and construction check
• Hardware & engraving inspection
• Logo and stamp validation
• Serial/date code verification (when applicable)

We focus on both authenticity & condition, because your investment deserves both.

Optional Third-Party Certification

Prefer an external authentication certificate for additional peace of mind?

You can add a digital or physical certificate at checkout, issued by a trusted global authentication service.

This optional service provides:

• Independent expert verification
• Certificate of authenticity
• Traceable digital record

So whether you’re buying for love or investment — you're covered.

Transparency Is Our Love Language

We photograph each item carefully and describe condition honestly — including any signs of wear, patina development, or restoration. Luxury ages beautifully, and we believe in showing it truthfully.

If an item has been refurbished or modified, you’ll always know.

Why Buy Authentic?

Because real craftsmanship carries history, artistry, and value.
And because your trust means everything to us.

At Vintage Habits, every stitch has a story — and it’s always real.
