Sourcing and Authenticity
sourcing
Luxury handbags are designed with longevity in mind and many continue to hold their value for years.
Seconds Club sources authentic, pre-owned designer pieces through established global resale networks, with a particular focus on Japan’s highly regulated second-hand luxury market.
Pieces are sourced either in person during dedicated buying trips or through trusted international partners with whom we maintain strong, long-term relationships.
By choosing second-hand pieces, we help extend the life of beautifully crafted items while contributing to a more considered, circular fashion future.
How we authenticate
Every Seconds Club piece undergoes a two-step authentication process before being listed:
Step One: Professional Inspection
Each piece is carefully examined for
Materials and craftsmanship
Stitching, hardware, and logos
Date codes, serial numbers, and brand-specific markers
Step Two: Entrupy Verification
We use Entrupy, advanced authentication technology that analyses microscopic details using machine learning to verify authenticity with exceptional accuracy.
Trusted by luxury resellers worldwide, every Seconds Club piece is independently verified and issued with an official authentication certificate.
If a bag is ever found to be inauthentic, it is backed by a full money-back guarantee.
Our Authenticity Guarantee
We proudly stand behind every piece we sell. If an item is ever proven to be inauthentic, you will be provided a full refund through Entrupy. Your confidence and trust are essential to everything we do.
