One piece. One verdict.
No doubt.

Send five photographs. Within 24 hours you receive a written verdict, a verifiable certificate, and an honest valuation — priced for whether you are buying or selling.

First, one question

Are you buying or selling?

A buyer and a seller need different answers from the same garment. Choose yours — everything below adjusts.

What you receive — buyer

  • Authentication verdict — authentic or not, with our confidence in the call.
  • Sold-price reality — what this piece has actually sold for in Canada and the US.
  • Your ceiling — a clear "do not pay above" figure, so you negotiate from knowledge.
  • Certificate number — verifiable, unique to your report.

What you receive — seller

  • Authentication verdict — authentic or not, with our confidence in the call.
  • Listing certificate — a certificate you can quote or show in your listing. Authenticated pieces earn buyer confidence.
  • Both sides of the market — what comparable pieces are listed at and what they actually sell for, so you can price to sit or price to move.
  • Certificate number — verifiable, unique to your report.

Five photographs. That's all we need.

Each slot tells you what to photograph and why. Daylight and a phone camera are enough — sharp and honest beats artful.

1.

Main label

The brand label inside the garment. This tells us the maker, the line, and the era — the single most important photograph.

2.

Composition tag

The fabric-content tag, usually beside the main label. Fibre content and percentages place the garment in its true quality tier.

3.

Hardware close-up

Buttons, monile beads, zippers, or clasps — photographed close. Counterfeits most often fail at the details.

4.

Shoulder seam, inside out

Turn the shoulder inside out and photograph the seam. Linked versus overlocked, canvassed versus fused — construction does not lie.

5.

Full garment

The whole piece, laid flat or hung, front view. Cut, proportions, and overall condition — the context the close-ups need.
