Authenticity
Are all your products authentic?
Yes. Every item sold by Eliana Luxury is 100% authentic. We never knowingly purchase, consign or sell counterfeit products under any circumstances.
Every eligible item undergoes our multi-stage authentication process before being listed on our website. This includes supplier verification, expert physical inspection and Entrupy AI authentication.
For full details, please visit our Authenticity Guarantee page.
What is Entrupy?
Entrupy is one of the world’s leading luxury authentication technologies. Using artificial intelligence, microscopic imaging and machine learning, Entrupy analyses the materials used in luxury handbags and compares them against a database built from millions of authentic luxury data points.
The system provides an authenticity result within minutes for eligible brands. We use Entrupy as an additional layer of verification alongside our in-house human authentication process — not as a replacement for it.
Which brands can be authenticated with Entrupy?
Entrupy supports many of the world’s most sought-after luxury brands, including Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dior, Prada, Céline, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Fendi, among others. Availability depends on the specific item and Entrupy’s supported models at the time of authentication.
Do you rely only on Entrupy for authentication?
No. Entrupy is only one part of our authentication process. Every eligible item passes through multiple verification stages before being approved for sale.
-
01Supplier Verification — We work with carefully selected suppliers who meet our sourcing standards.
-
02Industry Membership Review — We prioritise suppliers who are members of the Association Against Counterfeit Products Distribution (AACD).
-
03Expert Physical Inspection — Our team inspects stitching, leather, hardware, engravings, date codes, serial numbers and overall craftsmanship.
-
04Entrupy Authentication — All items undergo independent AI-powered authentication.
-
05Final Quality Control — Every item receives a final inspection before dispatch.
What is the Association Against Counterfeit Products Distribution (AACPD)?
The Association Against Counterfeit Products Distribution (AACPD) is an industry body dedicated to combating the trade of counterfeit luxury goods. Membership requires suppliers to adhere to strict sourcing and authenticity standards.
By prioritising AACPD member suppliers, we add an additional layer of confidence to our sourcing process before an item even reaches our authentication team.
Can I receive proof of authentication?
YES. All items authenticated using Entrupy will include authentication documentation. If you require additional information regarding the authentication of your purchase, please contact us at clientservices@elianaluxury.com with your order number.
What happens if an item does not pass authentication?
If an item does not meet our authentication standards at any stage of the process, it is never listed for sale. We would rather decline a piece than compromise the trust of our clients.
If you believe an item you have received is not authentic, please contact us within 30 days of delivery with supporting evidence. We will investigate promptly and, where authenticity cannot be confirmed, issue a full refund including original shipping costs.
Product Condition
Are your items new or preloved?
We specialise in authentic preloved luxury, though some items are unworn or brand new. Every listing clearly states the condition grade so you always know exactly what to expect before purchasing.
How do you grade condition?
We use our own transparent grading system with five clearly defined grades:
- Brand New — Unused, pristine condition. No signs of wear.
- Excellent — Minimal evidence of prior use. Only visible upon very close inspection.
- Very Good — Gently used with light signs of normal wear.
- Good — Moderate signs of previous ownership, fully functional and attractive.
- Fair — More apparent cosmetic wear, remains authentic and functional.
For full descriptions and inspection criteria, please visit our Condition Guide.
Will I receive the exact item shown in the photographs?
Yes. Unless otherwise stated, all photographs in a product listing are of the actual item you will receive. We do not use stock imagery for individual product listings. Our photography is designed to represent each piece as accurately as possible, including any signs of wear.
Can I request additional photographs before purchasing?
Absolutely. We are happy to provide additional close-up images of hardware, stitching, date codes, interior condition or any specific detail upon request. Please contact us via WhatsApp or email before purchasing and we will respond promptly.
