Authentication

Real Expert Authentication

At Style For Less, we firmly believe that real authentication can only be done by the hands of expert authenticators.

Unlike most, we do not rely on any AI or online methods of authentication. These are simply unreliable and in isolation make for a totally incomplete authentication process.

We pride ourselves on our high focus on hand authentication, whereby each piece brought to us is thoroughly checked by our panel of professionals in order to guarantee authenticity.

Therefore, we are confident to offer you a lifetime authenticity guarantee so that you can always shop with peace of mind.

Why Hand Authentication?

Physical authentication by expert professionals is necessary to guarantee authenticity. This is because there are several aspects of a thorough authentication process which require human senses and cannot be done through AI/online authentication.

Some of the details our authenticators look for to confirm if a piece is original or fake include:

• Smell of the leather
• Feel of the leather
• Shape
• Correct proportions & dimensions
• (Physical) Colour Accuracy
• Details in stitching
• Weight of the item
• Sound of the chain/zipper
• Correct code/referance number
• Originality of receipt of purchase and whether it corresponds to the exact piece brought to us
• Originality of dustbags & packaging etc.
