Authentication process
How Lost Designer Authenticates Luxury
Every piece is examined before listing through physical inspection, reference checks and specialist assessment appropriate to its brand and category.
It starts with the physical details
Construction and materials
We examine workmanship, materials, stitching, weight, shape and brand-specific construction.
Markings and reference details
We review logos, stamps, serial details, hardware, typography and model- or period-specific features.
Specialist assessment
Additional specialist tools and independent authentication support are used where appropriate.
Authentication is separate from condition
An authentic piece can still show significant wear. Before buying, review the condition description, actual-item photographs, measurements and inclusions, using the individual product page as your reference.
