Every piece is authenticated in-house before it is listed. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
Hardware weight and engraving, stitching density and thread colour, leather grain, glazing, lining, and overall construction are examined by hand.
Date codes, serial numbers, microchips and brand stamps are checked against known references for that model and production period.
Condition, flaws and measurements are recorded and photographed. You receive those details before you buy, not after.
We would rather lose a sale than list something we are not certain about. If a piece fails authentication it never reaches the shop.
We also flag anything unusual. Pre-owned bags carry wear — we document it plainly rather than photograph around it, so what arrives matches what you saw.
Because every item is a single pre-owned piece, we ask all buyers to review the photographs and condition report carefully before purchasing, and to request any additional images they need. If anything is unclear, message us first — we are happy to help before you commit.
All brands and trademarks referenced belong to their respective owners. JAPCollections is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any brand. We sell authenticated pre-owned items only.
