Authenticity & Condition

Last updated: April 28, 2026

We are an independent reseller. We are not affiliated with any luxury brand. Every item we sell is personally inspected and verified to be authentic before listing.

OUR AUTHENTICITY PROMISE

We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell - unconditionally. Each piece is inspected in-hand by us prior to listing, with attention to:

  • Materials, stitching quality, and hardware finish
  • Date codes, serial numbers, or other brand-specific identifiers where applicable
  • Packaging, dust bags, and accompanying accessories
  • Overall craftsmanship consistent with the brand's known standards

In addition, where available, we retain original purchase receipts or provenance documentation and can share this information with buyers upon request. For items where third-party authentication has been obtained, this will be noted in the listing.

CONDITION GRADING SCALE

We use the following condition grades across all listings. Each grade is our honest, good-faith assessment of the item at the time of listing.

GRADE

DESCRIPTION

Pristine

Shows no visible signs of use. May have been stored but has never been carried or worn. No odors, marks, or wear of any kind. Original packaging and accessories included where applicable.

Excellent

Shows minimal to no signs of use. May have very light surface marks only visible under close inspection. Hardware is bright and clean. Interior is clean. Overall presentation is exceptional.

Very Good

Light signs of use consistent with careful ownership. May have minor scuffs, light corner wear, or slight softening of structure. Hardware may show faint scratches. Interior clean. No significant flaws.

Good

Moderate signs of use. May show corner wear, scuffing, minor staining, or hardware tarnishing. All flaws clearly disclosed in the listing and photographed. Functional and presentable.

Fair

Significant wear or patina. May have notable scuffs, fading, hardware wear, or interior marks. Sold as-is. All flaws fully disclosed. Best suited for collectors or those seeking a project piece.

PHOTOGRAPHY STANDARDS

Every listing includes multiple photographs taken in natural or neutral studio lighting. We photograph:

  • All exterior surfaces (front, back, sides, base, top)
  • Interior and lining
  • Hardware close-ups
  • Any identifying marks, date codes, or stamps
  • Any flaws or areas of wear, regardless of how minor

A NOTE ON BRAND AFFILIATION

Verel is an independent resale business. We have no affiliation with, authorization from, or endorsement by Goyard, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, or any other luxury brand. Reselling authentic luxury goods is entirely lawful under the first sale doctrine. We simply connect people with beautiful, authentic pieces they may not otherwise have access to.

QUESTIONS?

We love talking about our pieces. If you have any questions about an item's authenticity, condition, or provenance, reach out to us at [YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS] before purchasing. We'd rather answer ten questions than have one unsatisfied customer.
