At Vestiaire Collective, our greatest possession is a value money can’t buy: Trust. We stake our reputation on doing right by each other, our customers, our partners, our industry, and our planet. And every day, we renew a commitment to do “right” better, by every means possible.

A Global Team of Experts
We’ve poured our time, resources and know-how into developing a uniquely accurate physical and digital authentication process. That includes in-depth, in-person vetting of potential listings by a team of 60+ experts around the globe, in France, the UK, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and the United States.
An Industry-Leading Process
High-end and luxury pieces are not only the heart of our business, they’re also the most counterfeited items. But we know how to learn from experience: the €360 million worth of items our digital authentication teams have rejected since 2020 is making us smarter, better and faster every day.
The Vestiaire Academy
In 2017, we launched the Vestiaire Academy, our very own training school and program. The Academy specializes in honing skills so our experts can recognize the hallmarks of authentic materials, techniques and brands, both online and in our authentication centers. The Vestiaire Academy is our way of ensuring we have the best authenticators in the world.
