Frequently Asked Questions
We're here to help. Find answers to frequently asked questions about authenticity, payments, shipping, and more.
Authenticity & Sourcing
Absolutely! Every handbag and accessory we offer is guaranteed authentic. We work exclusively with trusted sources, including private collectors, verified resellers, and authorized boutiques. Each item undergoes a thorough authentication process by our expert team before being listed for sale.
We utilize a multi-step authentication process that includes:
- Detailed material and craftsmanship inspection (leather, stitching, and hardware quality)
- Verification of brand identifiers (blind stamps, serial numbers, engravings, and other proprietary markers)
- Comparison with official brand specifications to confirm accuracy
- Optional third-party authentication by leading industry professionals
Hermès does not issue authentication certificates, but we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell. Some handbags may come with original boutique receipts when available. For added peace of mind, we offer third-party authentication services upon request.
We acquire our inventory through an exclusive network, including:
- Private collectors and long-time Hermès clients
- Boutique purchases from international locations
- High-profile resellers within the luxury industry
- Direct partnerships with VIPs who have access to rare pieces
Hermès does not provide authentication services. However, rest assured that our stringent verification process ensures every handbag we sell is 100% authentic.
Payments & Financing
We accept the following payment methods:
- Bank wire transfers (preferred for high-value purchases)
All major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) for accessories and select handbags
