I don't know what's worse. the fact that this type of counterfeiting and money laundering is still happening in this day and age or that the larger marketplaces have not put any sort of practices in place to stop it.

Insurance. What a sexy topic but if you own a collection of luxury items, you seriously need to make sure all of your assets are covered. What would happen if you were robbed, fire, flooding, moths or an errant dry cleaner? Is your closet even insured? The more and more we collect these luxury [...]
I knew it would happen sooner than later and here you can read the message from the founders of What Goes Around Comes Around in regards to their lawsuit from Chanel A Statement From The Founders Of What Goes Around Comes Around In Response To Chanel Lawsuit News provided by What Goes Around Comes Around [...]
Ouch. What Goes Around Comes Around has found themselves in the cross hairs of Chanel for allegedly selling counterfeit Chanel handbags and products. If the name is familiar, you have probably seen them in your local Off 5th Saks stores or all over social media. When it comes to commercial litigation many companies often themselves [...]
Amazon’s counterfeit problem is well documented, but it’s easy to forget the myriad ways in which it can become your problem, too. After all, your new face mask probably won’t contain arsenic, your off-brand USB cord probably won’t fry your laptop, your made-in-China hoverboard probably won’t burn your house down, and your designer suitcase probably [...]
The Gray Market is a term you may or may not have heard in reference to luxury handbags it's a term that is been thrown around a lot lately, especially in reference to Céline and Prada. There are several great articles that break down what this term means and So what exactly is the [...]
I wrote about The Collectory a couple of days ago but I really wanted to share this blog post from them. It seems everywhere you look there's another resale company (or seller) that pops up and is selling "authentic" luxury goods. Whether they have their own website, a Facebook group, or page or Instagram, the [...]
If you've seen or heard the word Gropoix and weren't sure what it meant, I'm here to help! I've seen it not only with Chanel jewelry but other vintage pieces and really didn't have any idea on what it meant so I started doing a little research and found a couple of really great, older [...]
Join me, @grahamwetzbarger and @nonhufriends on July 22nd in Houston, TX where we will hold a master class on luxury handbag authentication.
Two registration options, one with a training binder and one without for those that feel pretty confident but want to keep up on the trends.
Class will start promptly at 3pm and feel free to bring up to five items for in person authentication and get your questions ready!
🔗 in my bio for more details and registration!
So, if you only need a business account and not the device to authenticate sneakers through Entrupy, does this mean an app is coming for handbag authentication? #pleasesayyes
This is a hard one as I love Nordstrom but, counterfeits have gotten so good that you must have a deeper authentication practice in place, no matter who you are.

“tems from brands including Aimé Leon Dore, Fear of God, Supreme, Off-White, Palace and Stone Island, Bape, Kith and Vetements, and sold for more than $200 will be eligible. By the end of September, eBay will launch additional eligible brands including Adidas, Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Burberry, Cactus Plant Flea Market, Chrome Hearts, Comme des Garçons, Dior, Eric Emanuel, Fendi, Givenchy, Gucci, Jordan, Louis Vuitton, Nike, OVO, Palm Angels, Prada, Rhude, Versace and Visvim.”
They couldn’t have done this without the acquisition of Certilogo and unfortunately, like on Poshmark, fakes will be listed at under that $200 threshold. 🔗 in my bio to the WWD article.
Using RFID at the manufacturing level and with brands like Versace, Stone Island and more, this acquisition of Certilogo by eBay is a big step in the race to blockchain all data.
Certilogo’s platform uses digital technology to empower brands and designers to manage the lifecycle of their garments, while providing consumers a seamless way to confirm authenticity, access reliable information about branded items, and easily activate circular services.

I was hesitant to post this article from @nytimes because it basically is a fluff piece for the writer and her getting one on by carrying a fake Celine in Paris. 🥱 🔗 in my bio to the ad filled article.
More information on The RealReal and their authentication practices tomorrow! 😬
Ebay backed Cudoni and now they’re saying, “Additionally, eBay plans to offer refurbished items to attract shoppers who are more price-conscious.”
I’m all for finding a great deal but this sudden increase in selling trash has to stop, especially because the price is NOT reflecting the condition.
How do you feel about lower condition grade handbags? What are your thoughts? 🔗 in bio to the article

Now this is how you do resale as a brand! Authenticity confirmed, two year warranty and that iconic wax seal straight from the brand itself. #winner 🔗 in bio to the article on @robbreport
They recently raised $9.2 million and now they’re shutting down. I do not believe this is indicative of the resale industry’s future but more of maybe bad management. 🔗 in bio to read the article on @bof
I’ve been to this literal supermarket of counterfeit goods and it was crazy! Armed men outside, each little kiosk of nothing but fake everything and it was open for business for at least 10 years! 🔗 in bio to the article
Interesting article from @voguebusiness on how Gen Z loves Dupes which are “not technically” counterfeits 🤣 Are Dupes bad for fashion brands? That’s the question…..and yes is the answer.
If you love luxury, you want to buy luxury and if you can’t afford the price points, dupes have become acceptable because we’re a “I want it now” society without thinking of the repercussions of our choices.
This leads to smaller brands who work so hard to build a name for themselves being robbed of their intellectual property from these big players in the space.
