Are your bags authentic?

At The Clawset, we understand that shopping for pre-owned luxury items online requires trust. The reselling industry is plagued by sellers of counterfeit luxury products, so it is essential that we source our inventory from Certified Luxury Dealers who have established certification processes and built a reputation on their diligent authentication process.  All luxury handbags (Louis Vuitton, Prada, Celine, Chanel, Gucci, Fendi, Goyard, Burberry, YSL, MCM) we sell go through a third-party authentication service to ensure it is 100% authentic. 

We pride ourselves on also being an Entrupy verified seller. That means we are utilizing some of the best technology in the industry. Entrupy is a microscopic device that utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to authenticate select luxury branded handbags and accessories. As an Entrupy verified seller, they have entrusted us with their device. With this device, we submit images of logos, materials, leathers, and hardware. The algorithms judge images against a database of millions of other images to determine if the item is authentic.
