Authentication Services
VADCHECK provides professional authentication opinions on Hermès handbags — including the Birkin, Kelly, and every other Hermès style — for buyers, sellers, and anyone who needs a documented, expert-backed opinion on authenticity.
We’re available around the clock, seven days a week, and typically deliver your authentication result within 1–2 business days.
Considering a purchase of an Hermès bag and want peace of mind before you commit? Or already own one and simply want written confirmation for your records?
We review the photographs you provide and issue a clear, professional opinion on whether the item is authentic. This gives you a documented reference point you can rely on — whether you’re finalizing a purchase decision or archiving proof of authenticity for a bag you already own.
An accurate listing builds buyer trust — and getting the details right matters just as much as proving authenticity. Before listing your Hermès handbag or accessory for sale, we can confirm:
You’re welcome to reference our authentication opinion directly in your listing to reassure prospective buyers. Please note: VADCHECK authenticates — we do not buy, sell, or resell handbags ourselves.
When a disagreement arises between a buyer and seller over an item’s authenticity, either party can request a formal opinion from VADCHECK. The resulting certificate addresses the specific points of contention and is issued in a format that satisfies the documentation standards used by payment platforms, marketplaces, and financial institutions.
For situations that call for hands-on inspection rather than photo-based review, in-person authentication can be arranged by special request, subject to availability.
Our authentication expert is available for talks, panels, and educational engagements on Hermès authentication and craftsmanship.
VADCHECK is an independent authentication service. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or certified by Hermès or any other brand referenced on this site. Every opinion reflects the professional judgment of our authenticator, formed through hands-on experience with over 7,000 Hermès handbags and more than 7 years of specialized, continuous study of Hermès materials, construction, and production details. We make every effort to ensure our opinions are accurate, and each opinion represents our good-faith professional assessment at the time of examination.
