We also procure from professional markets accessible only to licensed dealers, ensuring high quality and guaranteed authenticity.

What are your standards for condition grading? How should I understand the rankings?

All items are pre-cleaned and in wearable condition. To guarantee quality, authenticity, and accurate condition reporting, we carefully inspect every single item. Products are classified into one of the following condition ranks:

Authenticity & Guarantee

How can I verify that my purchase is authentic?

Every item sold at Brand Street Tokyo undergoes a meticulous authenticity verification by our experienced in-house team of luxury specialists before listing. We ensure accuracy through a multi-step inspection process that combines expert visual assessment with advanced authentication technology.

Our specialized staff checks every detail—materials, stitching, logos, hardware, and overall construction—based on extensive practical experience with genuine luxury goods. When necessary, we also use ""Entrupy,"" an AI authentication service that cross-references global brand databases to provide an additional layer of verification.

We take authenticity extremely seriously and apply the highest standards at every stage, so you can shop with confidence.

In the unlikely event that an item purchased from us is later proven to be non-authentic, we take full responsibility. If you submit documentation from a reliable third-party organization, such as an official appraisal or certificate of authenticity, we will promptly verify the claim and issue a full refund under our Authenticity Guarantee.

Do you issue a Certificate of Authenticity?

It depends on the item.

If the item already comes with an existing certificate of authenticity, we will include it with your shipment. However, we do not issue new certificates for every single item.

Please rest assured that every item is sold only after we have individually verified its authenticity, quality, and condition. The presence or absence of a certificate is clearly stated in the product description.

What qualifications and experience do your authenticators have?

All authenticity verifications are conducted by our professional in-house team. Each item is carefully checked by at least 7 experts to ensure high reliability and objectivity. Our team has undergone specialized training in luxury goods, has years of practical experience, and continually updates its knowledge to stay ahead of evolving counterfeiting techniques.

What should I do if I have doubts or questions about the authentication process?

Please feel free to contact us. We are transparent about our authentication process and will explain the details until you are satisfied. If necessary, we can also arrange for re-authentication (a double check) by a third-party organization.

Can I check the authenticity of the bag myself?

While expert authentication is the most reliable method, you can check the following points as a general reference:

Accuracy of the logo
Quality of the stitching
Texture of the material
Weight and finish of the metal hardware
However, counterfeit technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated each year, so we strongly recommend relying on expert authentication.
