How We Look At Authentication

I Miss You Vintage Inc. is an Entrupy verified reseller.  Buy with confidence and trust.

I Miss You Vintage has a multi- layered authenticity process that begins with our in-house authenticators that look at brand specific details.  We have over 20 years experience handling and selling pre-owned designer goods.  By examining details such as markings, stitching, hardware, symmetry, materials, and workmanship, we can determine if the item is consistent with the manufacturer’s standards of quality.  Serial numbers and date codes (where applicable) for certain brands are also cross-referenced to verify consistency.  Specific brands also have their own individual “tell-tale” set of identifiers that can point out a fake. 

Where possible we also ask Consignors to provide original purchase receipts to accompany items. 

In additional to a careful physical inspection, we also use various tools such as an Entrupy physical scanner to aid with identification using their AI and microscopy-based product authentication technology.  Verification is also outsourced to third-party authentication companies.  If you need further details about this please contact us. 

With a long standing history in the business, we have a loyal set of regular Consignors that we have formed strong relationships with, but also continue to verify the provenance of every new item that comes through our doors.  All Chanel items have a separate intake form, adding an extra layer to our review process. 

With all of the above we aim to bring our customer a positive pre-owned shopping experience.  

Your trust is important to us.  We stand by the authenticity of every item we sell and will 100% reverse any purchases should it be found otherwise.
