The process

How it works.

Send five photographs

Our guided upload tells you exactly what to photograph and why — the label, the fabric tag, the construction details. It takes a few minutes.

II.

An expert examines every detail

Adrian Vale reviews each photograph against our reference library: label eras, construction tells, fabric markers, and known counterfeit patterns.

III.

Receive your verdict

Within 24 hours: a written verdict, a confidence assessment, a verifiable certificate number, and an honest valuation in both the Canadian and US markets.

Every verdict is issued personally, against a reference library built from thousands of authenticated garments — Kiton, Brioni, Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Tom Ford, and the quiet-luxury houses the generalists never learned.

Questions

Asked often.

24 hours from the moment your photographs arrive. If we ever need longer, you will know before you pay.

You are refunded in full. An inconclusive result is never billed — we would rather return your money than guess at your expense.

Seventeen houses: Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Tom Ford, Kiton, Isaia, Ermenegildo Zegna, Eleventy, Canali, Brioni, Moorer, Corneliani, Drake's London, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Luigi Borrelli, Luigi Bianchi Mantova, Inis Meain, and Boglioli. If your piece falls outside this list, write to us before ordering.

Five guided shots — the main label, the fabric tag, a hardware or detail close-up, the shoulder seam turned inside out, and the full garment. Each slot explains what to photograph and why. A phone camera in daylight is all you need.

A written verdict (authentic or not), our confidence in it, a unique certificate number you can verify, and a valuation grounded in actual sold prices — shown for both the Canadian and US markets, tailored to whether you are buying or selling.

Entirely. Your photographs and details are never shared, published, or used for any purpose beyond your verdict.
