Authentication Process
All items listed on Vale-Forever.org are individually reviewed and authenticated prior to being made available for purchase. Our review process focuses on overall quality, materials, labeling, and condition to ensure authenticity and transparency.
Sourcing
We curate authentic pieces from trusted secondary markets and private collections. Every source is vetted before items enter our pipeline.
Individual Review
Trained professionals check each item individually — quality, materials, labeling, and condition. Nothing is listed without passing inspection.
Listing & Sale
Only items that pass authentication are listed. Product condition is clearly stated on each page so you know exactly what you’re getting.
What We Inspect
Materials & Fabric
We verify fabric weight, texture, and composition match known authentic specifications for each item type.
Labels & Tags
We check woven labels for correct font, spacing, and stitching. Authentic labels are made of thick woven fabric with clear fonts and properly spaced logos — no smudges or frayed edges.
Stitching & Construction
Real pieces have straight seams, even thread colors, and consistent stitch count. We inspect these details on every item.
Overall Condition
We document and clearly disclose any wear, flaws, or cosmetic details. Our selection may include new or pre-owned items — condition is always stated on the product page.
Verifying Purchases from Other Sellers
If you purchase items from another website, brand, or retail store and wish to verify the authenticity of your product(s), it is essential that the seller provides you with a valid order number from their original order.
This order number is necessary for the authentication process, as it allows the purchase to be traced and confirmed as genuine. Without this information, authenticity cannot be validated, which could lead to potential issues regarding quality and guarantees.
