PROCESS OF AUTHENTICITY

PROCESS OF AUTHENTICITY

PROCESS OF AUTHENTICITY 

At Eye Luxury Concierge, authenticity sits at the core of our business model. We recognise that Hermès Birkin, Kelly, and Chanel Classic Flap bags are not mere luxury accessories; they are financial assets, status instruments, and highly sought-after collectors’ pieces. As such, we hold every item we list to the highest standards of authentication in the industry.

This page outlines the methodology behind our process and the level of scrutiny every handbag receives before it becomes part of our curated selection.

WHY AUTHENTICITY MATTERS

The pre-owned luxury market has grown significantly, attracting experienced collectors, first-time buyers and investors alike. Alongside this growth, the sophistication of counterfeit manufacturing has advanced dramatically. Modern “superfakes” often mimic original hardware, stitching, leather tanning and embossing to an extent that requires highly specialised inspection.

Our authentication framework addresses this reality directly.

OUR HYBRID VERIFICATION MODEL

Eye Luxury Concierge employs a dual system that combines advanced AI diagnostics with leading independent human expertise. This allows us to identify even the most subtle discrepancies in craftsmanship, materials, construction and branding.

The two pillars of our authentication system are:

ENTRUPY ANALYSIS (AI-POWERED)

Entrupy is a specialised authentication technology trusted by leading luxury resellers worldwide. It has been developed to analyse high-resolution data from material composition, sewing patterns, embossing techniques and consistency of production.

Its results are:

  • Data-driven

  • Backed by statistical modelling

  • Designed to detect inconsistencies invisible to the naked eye

  • Financially guaranteed against error

BABABEBI REVIEW (HUMAN EXPERTISE)

For Hermès, particularly Birkin and Kelly models, we go a step further by using Bababebi — the most respected independent Hermès authenticator, with over three decades of specialised study and first-hand exposure to thousands of handbags.

The Bababebi evaluation is:

  • Manual

  • Comparative

  • Based on production knowledge, leather characteristics, stitch symmetry, marking depth and dating accuracy

OUR DOCUMENTATION PROTOCOL

Each bag undergoes a detailed photographic process before being submitted for verification. These photographs are made for internal examination and for the external verification service.

We meticulously document:

  • Leather texture and grain consistency

  • Mounting and assembly points

  • Hardware edges, finish, screws and plating

  • Interior embossing (“Hermès Paris Made in France”)

  • Stitching alignment

  • Date stamp coding

This internal process is essential to us. It ensures we are not relying solely on external opinions, but rather cross-referencing and corroborating them with our own detailed inspections.

THE RESULT: CERTIFICATION WITH REAL BACKING

Upon completion of the process, Eye Luxury Concierge provides clients with:

  • Entrupy certification (AI analysis)

  • Bababebi report where applicable (human evaluation)

  • Our internal photographic documentation

This multi-layered verification method significantly reduces ambiguity and offers transparency to our clients.
