Authentication

Runway Fare sources exclusively from established resellers and trusted supply channels within the luxury secondary market.

We do not purchase from private sellers or unverified marketplaces. Each piece is selected based on provenance, condition history and consistency with known authentic construction and design standards.

Each piece undergoes a detailed review before it is offered for sale.

We examine multiple characteristics of the bag, including:

• construction, materials and craftsmanship
• hardware, engravings and brand markings
• stitching, structure and alignment
• serial codes and brand-specific identifiers where applicable
• overall consistency with known manufacturing standards

No single detail determines authenticity. A serial number, receipt, authenticity card or dust bag alone does not prove that a bag is genuine. Authentication requires looking at the bag as a whole and assessing multiple characteristics together.

Every bag is independently submitted to LegitGrails, a leading luxury authentication service specialising in the verification of designer goods.

Their expert authenticators assess the details provided for each item and compare them against established indicators and known authentic examples for the relevant brand and model.

This independent assessment provides an additional layer of verification beyond our own review.

Before a bag is released for sale, we complete a final review of its condition, description, photographs and authentication documentation.

Only pieces that meet our standards are made available through Runway Fare.

Every Runway Fare purchase includes an independent Certificate of Authenticity from LegitGrails.

The certificate confirms that the piece has undergone an independent authentication assessment by LegitGrails.

We believe authentication should be more than our word for it. That's why every bag is independently assessed before it reaches you, with documentation provided with your purchase for added peace of mind.
