Using the services of Authenticate First gives me the peace of mind to buy, sell and own that something special. I have used the service a few times now and find them friendly, professional with an amazingly quick turnaround. I will continue to use their services.
I have had many bags and several belts... as well as a scarf or two examined by the terrific gals at Authenticate First. I have found them to be exceptional, professional, prompt and courteous. Its such a great service to quickly and efficiently determine if your item is authentic. Authenticate First takes time to thoroughly research the piece in question! I will use their service with confidence for years to come.
I'm based in the UK and wanted an expert opinion on a 1970's Gucci bag I am selling. The process was very simple and straightforward, my authentication and valuation arrived quickly and I would definitely use the service in future. I am now able to sell the bag knowing it is 100% authentic, which is always reassuring for customers when buying high end items.
I was pleased with the service I got from Authenticate First- answered all my questions in a timely manner!
They were quick and responses time was unmatchable! They were attentive to my worries and made the process quick! Will definitely use often
I sent them a Chanel bag to authentic for me. I sent it filled with paper and carefully wrapped to avoid damage in transit. When they received my bag took about 4 days to authenticate (not the 2 mentioned on the website). She let me know it was shipped. I had to request tracking number to make sure of what was going on while I'm transit. When I received my order I was shocked the way they sent it back to me. The purse was folded up, no protection, creases all over... it was really really bad. I'll post pictures. I would definitely not recommend them to anyone. Go with leather surgeons. They authentic as well as treat bags. They make sure all bags are sent back with care. Needless to say I will not use them again!
I used Authenticate First recently and their review helped me get my money back for the fake purse that was sold to me as 100% authentic. The fakes these days look very good and its easy to get scammed so asking for opinion of people who know exacly what to look for is a must. I will use Authenticate First again if I decide to purchase from resellers of premier designer goods. Thank you!
Very professional and super fast results for a great price! Would highly recommend! Wasn't sure if they'd be able to authenticate my vintage Louis Vuitton because it didn't have a date code, but that was no problem!
This is the 2nd time i've used this company and it's great knowing that even though i'm in the UK and they're based in the US, I can still confidently and quickly get an item authenticated in a matter of hours! I contacted them to authenticate a Chanel belt i'd recently purchased from a pre-loved website, who authenticate on site, but I wanted to be doubly sure and I know I can rely on Authenticate first without a shadow of a doubt. Would highly recommend. Of note, this is a genuine review from my own personal experience.
I am very impressed with the price and speed of service in the authentication of my Chanel bag. I highly recommend authenticatefirst.com and will certainly use their service in the future!

I have collected LV and Chanel for 6 years, mostly bags, and i buy mostly pre-owned. I have received bags with receipts to turn out being super fakes. With their help i received refunds. I´m very happy and satisfied with the help that i have received during the years. I would never take the risk to buy pre-loved without their help. There are so many dishonest sellers. You cant trust anyone. Thank you so much for all your help i´m so grateful.
I have sent 2 items for authentication. Both items were authenticated in less than 48 hours and my request went in on a holiday. I have to say they were professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I love how they under promise and over deliver. I am new to luxury and love vintage. I trust authenticate first and I excited to send more request to them seeing that they will authenticate some of the less trendy designer brands.
I have used Authenticate First for many of my luxury goods over the years. The service is professional and provides assurance to my clients who i resell to. Very quick and i love they're letters of authenticity that i can include to my buyers.
Very satisfied with the service and highly recommend! Great customer service and reply us promptly and helpful. Will be back soon and I willl recommend to my friends and family who needed :)
I have used Authenticate first on several occasions, and have been pleasEd and impressed each time. It was important for me to ensure that some pre-owned items I purchased my wife were, indeed, authentic. Although pre-owned, purchasing a Louie Vuitton handbag is a significant investment ( not to a mention I would feel awful to accidentally give my wife and) imitation purse!) The site is easy to use and the customer service was excellent when I needed assistance and how to provide photographs and other documentation. In fact, they even expedited a review for me when I wanted to have it in time for my wife's birthday! Definitely recommend!

I have used A1st several times with my LV purses. I have always received the best service. They only give their statement after very close examination, they do not hesitate to ask for more pictures if needed. That tells me, they are just not guessing, but really examine the items in question. I can truly recommend them and I surely will be a returning customer.
Very quick and friendly service. I have used this service several times and the answer comes back quickly. Very excited to find this company and plan on doing a lod of business in the future
I have hired Authenticate First to confirm the validity of a few bags including Hermès Birkin and Louis Vuitton. They are very good, provide details and confirm whether the item is authentic or not.
The company also enable a expedited service which for me, was extremely helpful. I highly recommend this company and I will continue to hire them for my authentication questions.
Service was fast and easy to use. I made the payments via PayPal and received the link to upload photos instantly. I received a follow up email a day later verifying the authenticity of my belt
Answer: We have been in business for over 5 yrs - I'm sorry you did not receive what you expected - but that is no reason to continuously slander and harass us. A few unhappy customers happens with EVERY business, considering we've authenticated over 100,000+ in the past 5 yrs, a few is to be expected!

Answer: Yes, we have a sneaker expert who only authenticates sneaker brands.
Answer: Thank you for reaching out. It's important to understand that counterfeit bags often use real date codes, meaning the same serial number can appear on both authentic and fake items. Date codes alone are not a reliable indicator of authenticity, as they do not verify details such as font, placement, materials, and craftsmanship. If you have concerns about your bag, we recommend relying on the comprehensive authentication process conducted by our experts who examine multiple factors beyond just the date code. Let us know if you'd like further assistance.

You have a Chanel Boy Bag - this style cannot be "folded" up. We send the bag back with all of the packing materials and used the same box. If there's an issue w/the way it was received, get into touch w/the post office to file a complaint, because they must have damaged the box and it's contents. We are happy to supply your tracking # and help w/claims.
