The process

How we authenticate

Every item goes through the same multi-step check before it is dispatched. Nothing ships until it passes.

  1. Step 01

    Sourced from trusted suppliers

    We buy from official retailers, premium boutiques and verified resell companies, plus our trusted network of sellers.

  2. Step 02

    Inspected by hand

    When an item arrives, our authenticators compare it against the listing title, description and images, checking the materials, stitching, logos, soles, heel tabs and laces by hand.

  3. Step 03

    Tags, labels and codes

    Size labels, tags and product codes are checked to make sure they match the item, the box and the listing.

  4. Step 04

    Packaging and accessories

    The box, packaging and any accessories that come with the item are inspected too, so it arrives exactly as described.

  5. Step 05

    Verified, then dispatched

    Only once an item has passed every check is it packed and sent to you, fully tracked from our door to yours.
