Our in-house authenticators look for and examine a few main benchmarks of authentic designer goods. Our process starts with a thorough inspection of the materials and craftsmanship, followed by Examination of the finer details like stitching and lettering. Then any labels, logos, stamps and/or codes, found on the item are used to conduct extensive research on the specific style and brand. Once a match is found, side-by-side comparisons and a final examination are conducted.
Craftsmanship
Designer pieces are known for elevated craftsmanship. Seaming, finishing, stitching and quilting are closely examined and compared to ensure they coincide with the designers’ standards for quality and craftsmanship.
Hardware
Each designer uses details that are unique to their brand. Blogger Armoire examines all hardware used for accurate weight and colour. Fonts and markings are all checked for accuracy. In addition to this, we confirm the proper measurements of the style. Lastly, the lining is examined to ensure a direct match with the corresponding style.
Construction Materials

Stamps, Text & Serial Numbers
All forms of text on the piece- both printed and heat stamped- are closely examined with the highest level of scrutiny in order to ensure they match the fonts and markings used by the designer. All serial numbers and authentication codes are then checked for validity.
