Libas Collective — Luxury Bag Authentication Guide

Quick expert checkpoints to help authenticate pre-owned luxury handbags — Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci and more.

Thinking of buying a pre-owned designer bag? Use this quick reference to check the details that matter before you commit. The Libas Collective Luxury Bag Authentication Guide gives you the key, expert-level checkpoints for 14 of the most counterfeited luxury houses — Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, Goyard, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Loewe, Celine, Balenciaga, Fendi, Prada and Burberry. For each brand you'll see what to look at first: • Logos, hardware and engraving • Stitching, leather and construction • Serial numbers, date codes and authenticity cards • Brand-specific tells (CC turn-locks, blind stamps, Cannage quilting, Intrecciato weave and more) Tap any brand for its checklist, then open the full in-depth guide to go deeper. A quick note: spotting a fake takes expertise, and no checklist replaces a professional inspection. That's why every piece sold on Libas Collective — a Dubai-based marketplace for authenticated pre-owned luxury — is professionally verified, with optional independent third-party authentication, before it reaches you.
