Authenticity
Process
Every item we list online is authentic.
We source our handbags through two trusted channels: consignment from local clients and our partner suppliers in Paris and Tokyo.
1. Consignment
- We personally meet each client and carefully review every item.
- Each bag goes through a two-step authentication process: First Check: Our in-house specialist examines the item’s quality and authenticity in detail. Second Check: We partner with an independent external company that also works with leading international second-hand retail platforms. Their team of industry experts, using years of experience and advanced technology, verifies the authenticity once again. This ensures an additional layer of security and peace of mind.
2. Trusted Suppliers
- We work only with established partners in Paris and Tokyo who have their own teams of experts performing quality control and authentication.
- Once we receive the products, we carry out a second round of checks before sending them to you.
Certificate
- All the handbags we sell are verified and authenticated by experts.
- For handbags priced above €300, a printed certificate of authenticity is included free of charge in the order.
- For handbags priced under €300, authenticity is still fully guaranteed, but the printed certificate is not included by default. If you would like to receive the printed certificate with your purchase, we can provide it for an additional €45 fee.
Note: Bedford Street operates independently and is not affiliated with or verified by third-party brands.
Authentication service
At our store, we offer a professional luxury handbag authentication service designed for clients who want complete peace of mind when buying, selling, or valuing a designer piece.
We authenticate every handbag through a two-step verification process combining expert physical inspection with advanced AI technology. Each piece is carefully analyzed by specialists and verified using Entrupy Vision microscopic imaging to detect details invisible to the naked eye and ensure highly accurate results.
24h turnaround
We authenticate handbags purchased from any source, including:
- Online purchases
- Resale platforms such as Vinted or Vestiaire Collective
- Vintage bags
- Inherited pieces
- Gifts
- International purchases
- Bags intended for resale
We are seeing a growing number of handbags that had previously passed authentication checks but were later identified as counterfeit, which is why we use a more thorough and professional verification process. Simply bring your bag to our store and within approximately 24 hours you will receive confirmation together with your authenticity certificate once the bag is ready for collection.
