Delortae Agency™ | (UK) London Independent Designer Authentication Service

Independent Luxury Authentication Service

We know, more than most, how frustrating it can be seeing unscrupulous vendors claiming authentic goods when they are clearly fakes but there are ways we can protect ourselves (and our money!) from these charlatans when all we want to do is purchase a genuine product at a fair price.

In our role of luxury authentication specialist, we view some of worlds most sophisticated counterfeit items ever made. These items, most everyday consumers never get exposed to, but due to the counterfeit market opening up and the ease of obtaining such materials and new countries entering into this lucrative arena, we ask that you please be vigilant in the current climate. We are aware that these items are filtering through to the general domain. It is no secret that Delortae Agency is committed to brand protection, designers copyright and trademark infringement. You will not see pictures how authentic items should look here, as we believe this information is being used by counterfeiters to produce even more sophisticated products and deceive buyers further.

But, if like many of our elite clients, you like only to purchase authentic merchandize then Delortae Agency ensure from us, that is exactly what you will receive we guarantee that 100% of all our original products are verified by us with genuine paperwork to substantiate this where applicable. Our pre owned items are also verified by us prior to resale.

Let's explore some misconceptions and see if we can help inform, from the wealth of information available, what is truly fact and what is fiction.

We explore the more common brand designer questions, our Appraisal Team are skilled at most high end brands. They can also call on colleagues worldwide for further confirmation where needed.

One of the most commonly asked questions we receive is questions on Chanel hologram authentication stickers. Firstly, no one inside the house of Chanel ever call them authentication stickers because frankly they are not! They are in fact SERIAL NUMBER STICKERS used purely for stock control purposes. Which originated some time ago, the exact year is as yet unknown. Sometime, we believe, around the late 70's to mid late 80's it's implementation to prevent stock being stolen from the factory, Chanel now had a way of tracking them. It is not for authentication. If you have an authentic Chanel, that is exactly what it is, with or without a hologram sticker, if your bag is authentic and the sticker comes off it still remains authentic!

Chanel:If you were to ask CHANEL about the serial number sticker, they will probably say,"it is not SERIAL" . Chanel store boutique attendants usually say that the sticker is the control number for CHANEL. And they may also say, not all Chanel bags have control numbers. Hence, vintage Chanel bags, bags with new linings (having been repaired), unusual bags in design sometimes have no serial number stickers. On selected pieces, where they feel there may be no appropriate position to place a serial number sticker, simply won't have one. If you take the bag to Chanel and ask them for replacement lining for instance, they will remove the original lining with serial number sticker and put a new lining often with no serial number sticker. In these circumstances, there is no need to track it, it is already in your possession. Also, they may give you the old lining with serial number sticker or perhaps repostition it on the replacement lining. BUT, if you buy PRE-OWNED and vintage bags, sometimes the previous owner has lost the old lining and the bag may no longer have the serial number sticker inside the bag or maybe there never was one.

CHANEL rarely judge the authenticity in boutique (this does vary from area to area and central London we found, have always been extremely helpful). This does vary with boutiques, try the concessions in large department stores, they sometimes are more obliging. They usually always judge the authenticity at the CHANEL REPAIR FACTORY. If the bag is fake, they will say, "this is not the product by CHANEL, so we can't accept repairing"

They will repair the bags with no serial number stickers if the bag is authentic. In fact, many French women in France, actually remove the hologram serial number stickers once they purchase their CHANEL items at the boutique, many know that the serial number is not for authentication, it's helpful but not essential. So please do not judge the authenticity only with the serial number stickers.

Watch for the font detail colour, Chanel like to colour match if the hardware is silver so will the interior font colour be likewise if the hardware is gold, gold colour font.

These days counterfeiters are aware many buyers use this mistake to authenticate an item and produce bags which have fake serial number stickers and fake matching serial cards. So it is too dangerous to judge the authenticity only with the stickers. Or, come to that, the Serial Number Cards.

Chanel Number Serial Cards: The numbered code gives you a general idea when the bag was made. Each code will have either 7 or 8 digits. The earlier Chanel bags have 7-digit serial numbers starting with 0, such as 0123456. As more bags were produced, the number gradually increased, so that a few years later, the number started with a 1. Once the number went beyond 9999999, the number became 8 digits long because 10 has two digits. From 2008, they started issuing bags starting with 12. Along with the number change so did some of the identifying features on both the style and design of lettering of the cards and also hologram stock control stickers.

Hermes: You would do well to gem up on Hermes, if this is your chosen bag of choice, authenticate your Hermes bag well before strolling into a Hermes boutique. Not only will they refuse to authenticate your bag they will refuse you service and fake bag carriers have been known to be chased, rather unceremoniously, out the store!

We see a great many counterfeit Hermes, but very few done well. There is not a six year waiting list for these visions of beauty without good reason. They are hand crafted using the finest skins available. Alligator from Florida, buffalo from Pakistan, crocodile from Australia, lizards from Malaysia, sharks from Thailand, oxen, deer, calf and goats from all over the world. We are not sure if it is the craftsmanship that takes the most time or catching the source material.

Counterfeiters are as cheap and tatty as the materials they use. As experts we see some of the more sophisticated counterfeit items. Few will use quality material, but most will not, as these items are factory mass produced and maximum profit being the most important factor. Unfortunately, these suppliers are now including blank copies of original design house receipts into the sale. Fake Hermes are usually always mass factory produced, having said that we are aware of manufacturers claiming 99.9% copies, but most never have the correct finish.The blind stamp under the strap is usually the first thing you should check.

(watch this abc 5 min news tape)

{Had they all been drinking?; leave a comment }

Just had to add how the professionals do it!

HERMES use the alphabet in chronological order to date their bag. For example, year 2004 was H and currently we are on year I(2009). The craftsman ID should also be next to the blind stamp. Having said that, the more sophisticated counterfeit Hermes will have these, but their font detail will always let the down. Hermes zipper on the inside pocket is never going to be replicated to fool the expert. Hermes have several subtle differences to their zipper and the zipper pull, too hard to describe but we will try to show you through pictures, when we have the time. The leather pull strip should be horizontal to the zipper, which should have Hermes 'cleanly' engraved on it. The borders and corners give the counterfeiters a major problem also. Authentic Hermes stand proud and erect due not only to the precision cut of the skin used but also the quality, fake Hermes never sit at the correct height or angle.

The keys and lock should have matching numbers and Hermes engraved on them. The engraving will be fine and the padlock showing the key fit is very distinctive. The trademark three lines, engraved on the padlocks themselves, we have never seen done well. The hardware should be made of palladium or 24 carat gold plate, the counterfeit are made of low grade steel and the engraving will be rough and unfinished in appearance. The linings are also something to watch for and the colour of the stiching. Hermes use colour stiching uniformity that other design houses do not. Lastly, check the feet on the bottom of the bag, an authentic bag will have solid and sturdy stud attachments (to protect the bag base when set down), where appropriate.

Watch for the font detail colour, HERMES like to colour match also if the hardware is silver so will the interior font colour be likewise if the hardware is gold, gold colour font. Like Chanel, Hermes no longer authenticates bags in it's boutiques they also will authenticate at the HERMES REPAIR FACTORY, so if you want your Hermes authenticated take it along for a repair but be prepared for a long wait!

Louis Vuitton: LV authentication, better off heading for main boutique, Yes, some designers do have factory outlets and some sell at wholesale. The world's most favoured designer to replicate (and definitely one of ours, in particular LV North Carolina USA who recommended a client to us for authentication, thank you), Louis Vuitton, is not one of them. By this we mean to sell at retail, they do not sell floor models at discounted prices. They only take returns within 14 days if they are in pristine, unused condition and sell them at FULL PRICE. They destroy merchandise that is unusable or unsold once that season is over. Typically, this merchandise ends up sold to the staff, who do not receive LV discounts, at a reduced price. That holds true for most top design houses that don't use the services of Authorized Resellers or through their own outlets. Louis Vuitton, do still helpfully, authenticate in store, but never confirm in writing. Usually this will be done by the boutique manager, so do not be surprised if the assistant disappears with your item for awhile. Also, don't be surprised if authenticating in France, not to get it back!

Also, for Louis Vuitton in particular, things to look out for would be if there is a round white tag hanging from the item, and should it even be there? Louis Vuitton does not add these to their products. Is there an ink-stamped number on the hang tag or a swatch of fabric hanging from the bag and/or white tissue and tape wrapped around the hardware, handles or around the zipper pull?, all sure indicators of fakes.

We take this opportunity to thank the Counterfeit, Trademark Infringement and Copyright Specialist at all the major design houses for their kind co operation in working with us on their brand items submitted for further verification.

NEVER FAILED IN REPRESENTING A CLIENT TO WIN A SUCCESSFUL REFUND

IS THERE ANYWHERE IN THE UK THAT OFFERS WRITTEN AUTHENTICATION ON FAKE ITEMS BOUGHT ON EBAY?

If you are fortunate enough to live near a boutique, they may sometimes authenticate your item(s) for free, however, it will typically not put its findings in writing, for corporate policy. This is primarily because people were switching authentic items for fake ones and using their letter as proof of authenticity. If you do not live near a retailer or want a written opinion regarding authenticity, we can still help.

We can check eBay and other auction sites, other web sites and your personal photos. Has eBay or other auction site ended your auction and you need proof that your item is authentic? We can help.

Authentications may be done with detailed photographs or by sending the item to us via a method that will track receipt. Insurance is highly recommended as is Signed Delivery. Sometimes the same method may be used for appraisals. Some items we may recommend be delivered to us for personal inspection, as photos alone are often insufficient. Should this be the case we will inform you.

We offer both a Photo Opinion Service and Photo On Line Authentication service, simply email us detailed photographs of your item and we will give our opinion on it's authenticity. There is a nominal pre paid charge for this service as detailed below.

We have the highest success rate at removing active counterfeit listings on Auction sites of any other company, around the world. With days of this month still remaining we have already succeeded in having fraudulent listings removed whilst still active.

One of the recent listing claimed falsely, to a bidder, that we had authenticated the item and the second one was at a whopping £365 and still rising when we posted our findings on our Forum. The bidder informed the seller of our opinion and our Forum page address and the auction site, faced with such compellng evidence had no choice other than remove the listing!

Counterfeiters beware you have no where to hide! Remember, verify our authenticated items with the seller with the unique reference number our Authentication Department will have generated.

Delortae Agency, aim to dispel the mystery that surround the appraisal reports, and below we answer some of the more commonplace questions we receive;

Q: WHAT IS AN APPRAISAL?

An appraisal is a professional appraiser's opinion of value.

Q: WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?

An appraisal is a vital valuation tool used by buyers, sellers, insurance companies, credit card companies all official and un official bodies or individuals who need to verify an items worth for prospective financing.

Q: HOW DO YOU BENEFIT?

A professional appraiser has no vested interest in the outcome of the appraisal and should render services with independence, objectivity and unbiased impartiality.

Depending upon their qualifications and designations, appraisers can and do provide a variety of services, as we do, including advice in assisting private collectors, tax assessment review and expert witness testimony.

Value appreciation of a specific authentic item must be determined on an individualized basis, factoring in data on comparable items and other relevant considerations.

The role of the appraiser is to provide objective, impartial and unbiased opinions about the value of authentic property - providing assistance to those who own, manage, sell, invest in and/or lend money on the security of authentic property.

Q: HOW DO YOU DETERMINE AN ITEMS VALUE?

Appraisers make a detailed analysis of all factors pertaining to the value of an authentic item. An items value is determined by a number of factors, including its condition, size, rarity, age, retail value of item, current trend, popularity, whether the item has original receipts, dust bags, if relevant authenticity cards & markings, original accessories and original boxes all affect it's market value. Along with what current recent sale prices of comparable items in the subject market.

Q: WHAT IS MARKET VALUE?

Market value is based on what a willing buyer would likely pay a willing seller for a particular item. Insurance appraisal look at replacement value for the item in the current market climate.

Covert Level: D.N.A Tagging

Our DNA code is certified and registered with the manufacturer and is never produced again for any other entity, ensuring positive identification and authentication capabilities. The chances of replicating this exact sequence is 1 in 33 trillion. The DNA tag can be detected in a lab and also with a proprietary infrared laser. In fact, by using the laser, the invisible DNA ink will glow RED. This service is popular with eBay and other auction site sellers who want to reduce the risk of fraudulent returns. Additional £10 charge for DNA tagging.
