Our Authentication Process
Every item sold at Pieces Los Angeles passes a rigorous 5-step verification by our expert team. Your purchase is backed by a 100% money-back authenticity guarantee.
How We Verify Every Item
Intake Inspection
Initial examination of item condition, origin documentation, and purchase history. We photograph the item from every angle and log it into our verification system.
Tag & Label Verification
Cross-reference all tags, labels, care instructions, and branding against our verified database. Font kerning, print quality, label placement, and stitching patterns are all scrutinized.
Material Analysis
Examine fabric weight, stitching quality, hardware materials, and construction details. We compare thread count, zipper quality, and material composition against known authentic specimens.
Reference Comparison
Compare the item side-by-side against our verified authentic database, which contains thousands of confirmed-authentic reference items across every brand and season we carry.
Final Approval
A senior authenticator performs a final review and signs off. The item is sealed with a Pieces LA authentication certificate featuring a unique ID, authenticator initials, date, and QR code for digital verification.
Our Guarantee
Money-Back Promise
If any item purchased from Pieces Los Angeles is determined to be inauthentic by a qualified third party, we will issue a full refund within 30 days of purchase — including return shipping costs. No questions asked. Your trust is everything.
What If We Find a Fake?
Items that fail any stage of our authentication are immediately flagged, documented, and returned to the consignor. We never list, sell, or hold inauthentic merchandise. Our rejection rate is approximately 12% — we only sell what we can stand behind.
