Why Choose Real Authentication Over Other Authentication Service Providers?

Real Authentication was founded in 2016 to provide the market with access to highly skilled authentication experts from anywhere in the world. We offer services directly to the public as well as partner with top resellers and selling platforms alike to help verify brand authenticity.

Real Authentication offers expert luxury designer authentication services for handbags, watches, streetwear, eyewear, clothing, jewelry, shoes, scarves, hats, and home goods such as pillows, glassware, and blankets, from more than 170 brands. The quality of our services is documented in thousands of reviews and testimonials from luxury shoppers like entrepreneur and television star Bethenny Frankel.

How Our Process Stands Out

Our world renowned team of experts analyze every aspect of an item that is submitted, from general product information all the way down to the denier of a stitch. Each order is typically reviewed by two of our highly-trained authentication experts who apply their extensive hands-on experience in conjunction with the company’s proprietary archive of over 7 million reference images to analyze the fine details of every submission.

Our proprietary Smart Database Scan™ technology cross-checks numerous data points within our system and identifies potential red flags. The Real Authentication platform is now the world’s leading process to certify the authenticity of new and used luxury goods.

Human Authentication Over AI

As counterfeit luxury items flood online and physical stores, shoppers are increasingly seeking professional authenticators to verify authenticity. While many authenticators are adopting AI technology, Real Authentication warns that AI lacks the human expertise needed to effectively detect counterfeits. AI struggles to keep up with evolving luxury brand styles and the rising quality of counterfeit goods, making it an unreliable verification tool. For further insights, read this blog post.

The Founder’s Advantage: From Luxury Buyers & Researchers to Authentication Pioneers

The Real Authentication “Founder Advantage” is the result of Founders Anastacia Black and Jenna Padilla’s hard-won experience. They have extensive backgrounds in top-tier buying and authentication roles, and they understand the industry comprehensively. The Founders possess extensive industry knowledge beyond just shopping, unlike other service providers. Their extensive research and high volume of items reviewed both physically and virtually also sets them apart. Creation of brand guides and high-quality training materials further distinguishes Real Authentication’s service. Our team maintains high standards and utilizes cutting-edge technology. 

Global Accessibility

No devices needed! Whether you’re in New York or Tokyo, one standout feature of Real Authentication is the ability to access Real Authentication’s expertise using just your Android or iPhone, from anywhere in the world. This level of accessibility is unmatched in the industry, making it convenient for customers and sellers worldwide. Even teams across the world from one another can be submitting orders simultaneously to receive authentication results in real time.

Extensive Brand Coverage
