Paper Trailluxury resale authentication

001 / See a live verdict

Authenticate luxury goods without a forensics degree

Snap the stitching, the hardware, the date code. Paper Trail scores it against 2M real examples and tells you buy, pass, or 'call the owner.' In 40 seconds. Not next Tuesday.

The 40-second verdict

Photograph the seams, zipper pulls, and date code. We compare against millions of verified units and hand you a confidence score, not a shrug.

003

Receipts, literally

Every authentication generates a timestamped report with your reasoning attached. When a buyer disputes it six months later, you win the chargeback.

004

Serial rot detection

Counterfeiters recycle real date codes. We flag serials that have appeared on three other bags this quarter before you wire the seller a dime.

005

Trained on the fakes too

Most tools only know what real looks like. We hoard super-fakes so your team spots the $1,900 replica that fooled the last three shops.

006

Consignment ledger

Track who dropped off what, what it authenticated as, and what it sold for. Owner-operators finally know which consignor keeps sneaking in duds.

007

Second opinion on tap

Borderline score? Escalate to a human expert without leaving the record. The verdict lands in the same report your customer will read.

Field reports

“I used to gatekeep authentications in my own head and pray. Now my part-timer runs them and I sleep. We caught four super-fakes in month one that I would've bought.”
Danielle Okafor — Owner, The Consignment Loft
“A buyer threatened to sue over a Birkin. I forwarded the Paper Trail report with 62 timestamped comparisons. Never heard from her lawyer again. Worth every seat.”
Marcus Reilly — Founder, Reilly & Sons Resale
“The serial rot alert alone paid for the year. Same date code showed up from three 'different' sellers. Paper Trail flagged it before I met a single one of them.”
Priya Venkataraman — Head Buyer, Second Story Luxe
