Every bag at SANZ Vintage is authentic. We stand by this with our name, and with a guarantee that does not end after 14 days.
Who inspects:
SANZ Vintage is backed by a two-person expert team with many years of experience in the trade of vintage fashion and designer handbags, from Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Dior to Fendi, Coach, Bottega Veneta and Miu Miu. Every bag passes through our hands before it goes online.
Over 600 sales on Vestiaire Collective:
Alongside our own shop, we also sell on Vestiaire Collective, one of the largest platforms for second-hand designer goods. We have already sold more than 600 bags there. To our seller profile →
Where our bags come from:
We buy from licensed dealers. Every bag is then inspected a second time by us, regardless of where it comes from.
How we inspect:
- Material and workmanship: leather, canvas, stitching and edges, compared with reference pieces of the same model
- Embossing and logos: typeface, spacing, depth of embossing, interior labels
- Hardware: engravings, weight, zippers, matching the brand and year of manufacture
- Codes: date codes, serial numbers, creed numbers – do the format, country of manufacture and year match the model?
- Overall impression: shape, proportions, lining, ageing
No single feature proves authenticity; only the interplay of all details does. A missing authenticity card or dust bag is normal for vintage bags and is no indication of a counterfeit. If a bag raises any doubts, we do not add it to our range.
Our guarantee:
Should a bag purchased from us unexpectedly turn out not to be authentic, we will refund the full purchase price including all shipping costs, with no time limit.
Inspection by an independent provider:
If you are unsure, you can have your bag inspected by an independent authentication service, for example Real Authentication, Bababebi or Entrupy.
- Please contact us briefly beforehand via our contact page.
- Result “not authentic”: Send us the report. We will take the bag back at our expense and refund the purchase price, shipping costs and the cost of the inspection.
- Result “authentic”: The purchase stands, and you bear the cost of the inspection.
Your statutory right of withdrawal and your warranty rights remain unaffected.
More photos on request:
For every bag, we are happy to send you further detailed photos of embossing, codes and interior labels.
