Craft & construction
Inspect seams, edges, joins and finishing in clear natural light. Compare against reliable images of the same model and year. Craft varies by collection, so an isolated flaw is a reason to investigate—not a verdict.

Authenticity is a story told through provenance, craft and careful inspection. Learn what to examine, what to question, and when to call on a specialist.
A considered checklist
Inspect seams, edges, joins and finishing in clear natural light. Compare against reliable images of the same model and year. Craft varies by collection, so an isolated flaw is a reason to investigate—not a verdict.
Study texture, weight, hardware, engravings, labels and typography. Details should be consistent with official references. Logos, serial numbers and authentication cards can be copied, so never rely on one feature alone.
Ask for a clear ownership history, available receipts and service records. Check seller identity, returns policy and payment protections. Unusually low pricing, urgency and refusal of secure payment are reasons to pause.
When in doubt
If questions remain, consult the brand through its official channels or a qualified independent authenticator experienced with that specific category. A certificate or online image alone cannot guarantee authenticity.
