At unkwnarchive, authenticity is everything. Every handbag in our archive is carefully researched and inspected in-house by our team, who specialize in vintage and luxury authentication. From materials and hardware to stitching and brand markings, each piece is vetted against our high standards before it makes it online.

To further strengthen our process, we also use Entrupy—an AI-powered authentication system trusted by top auction houses, luxury resellers, and industry experts. While not every item is Entrupy-verified, we use it regularly as part of our authentication workflow, and certificates can be provided upon request for a small fee.

We source from certified auction houses and reputable independent sellers for added certainty, ensuring every bag in our archive is the real deal.

Vintage handbags have their own stories and unique quirks, and we take pride in ensuring each item is genuine and ready for its next chapter. If you have any questions about authenticity or would like extra photos before purchasing, our team is always happy to help.
