How We Authenticate Every Item at Eluse: Where Experience Meets Technology

🔍 Step 1: Multi-Expert Physical Inspection

Every item begins its journey with a 10-member expert team, each with specialized knowledge in different luxury brands. This ensures that both the obvious and the subtle signs of authenticity — from stitching and logo placement to material texture and hardware — are evaluated with precision.

We don’t rely on one person’s opinion. We rely on a team trained in brand history, design evolution, and common counterfeit indicators.

🔬 Step 2: Scientific Verification with Spectroscopy

After passing manual inspection, each item is tested using spectroscopic analysis, a technology typically used in material science labs. This allows us to:
    •    Detect metal composition in hardware
    •    Verify leather type or surface treatment
    •    Identify any material inconsistencies invisible to the human eye

Science doesn’t lie — it confirms what the eye can’t always see.

🔁 Step 3: Cross-Verification and Database Matching

Before an item is approved for listing, it is cross-verified against our internal archive of brand authentication data, including:
    •    Serial number formats by year
    •    Date codes and brand stamp positioning
    •    Historical variations in production

Any mismatch flags the item for further review. Nothing slips through the cracks.
