EXPERT CERTIFICATION

& VERIFICATION

VON ROSENTHAL, as an expert in luxury goods authentication, offers a renowned premium service of authentication and certification through a thorough verification process that combines expertise and extensive experience with the most advanced visual, tactile, and investigative techniques to determine the authenticity of Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags. This process is made up of several stages of study, evaluation, and detailed physical inspection.

Study:

• Analysis of Materials and Craftsmanship: A detailed inspection of materials, leather quality, color study, stitching finish, and hardware evaluation, followed by an assessment to verify the authenticity of the leather, colors, texture, the characteristic Hermès pattern in each piece, uniformity and precision of stitches, finishes, and hardware details in correlation with the production period it belongs to.

• Review and Analysis of Identification Marks: Evaluation of stamps, labels, and serial numbers specific to Hermès.

• Analysis of Documentation, Codes, and Verification of Stamps and Tags: The accuracy of internal stamps, labels, and serial numbers is reviewed to ensure consistency with Hermès’ quality standards.

• Additional Documentation: Purchase receipts and other relevant documents accompanying the bag are evaluated.

Authentication Certification:

• Detailed Authenticity Report: A report is provided, including high-resolution photographs of the bag and a professional evaluation of its authenticity based on the prior study conducted.

• Certificate of Authenticity: A certificate is issued that can accompany the bag for future references or transactions.

Client Benefits:

• Peace of Mind in Ownership: Providing confidence in your investment with the authenticity of your bags.

• Ease of Resale: An expert authenticity certificate increases the credibility of the bag in the secondary market, making it easier to sell.

• Fraud Protection: Avoiding scams by verifying the authenticity of the bags before purchase.
