Authentication & authenticity guarantee
How Old Fashioned Club guarantees the authenticity of every pre-owned luxury piece: our expertise process, our specialists, our tools (including Entrupy) and our money-back guarantee.
Authenticity guarantee
Every piece sold by Old Fashioned Club is guaranteed 100% authentic. Should an item's authenticity be disproven by a recognised independent expert, we take it back and refund you in full. This is our unconditional money-back authenticity guarantee.
The guarantee covers the entire price paid. It comes on top of your 14-day right of withdrawal: you can also return any piece that does not suit you, simply.
Our authentication process
No piece is listed without being authenticated. Our experts run an intake check on each item, inspect it in detail (stitching, hardware, date codes, materials), pass it through Entrupy technology where possible, grade its condition, then issue its Old Fashioned Club authenticity card.
Tools & certifications — Entrupy and the authenticity card
We combine the expert eye with technology. Entrupy authenticates items through microscopy and artificial intelligence, with a verifiable certificate. Every validated piece then receives the Old Fashioned Club authenticity card, which accompanies it and attests to its review by our specialists.
Entrupy — AI and microscopy authentication
Old Fashioned Club notably uses Entrupy to authenticate a large number of its pieces, and on customer request. Recognised across pre-owned luxury, this technology combines high-resolution microscopy and artificial intelligence to deliver an authenticity verdict backed by a verifiable certificate.
What it is
An AI and microscopy authentication solution: hundreds of microscopic images of the material are analysed by a model trained on millions of items, to tell a genuine piece from a counterfeit — even a sophisticated one.
The certificate
When a piece is authenticated via Entrupy, it comes with a verifiable digital certificate of authenticity, in addition to the Old Fashioned Club authenticity card.
On request
Part of our catalogue has already been through Entrupy; for an eligible piece that hasn't yet, you can request Entrupy authentication before purchase. Our team arranges the analysis and shares the certificate with you.
Our authentication process, step by step
- 1
Intake & entry check
Every incoming piece is logged, photographed and examined by a first specialist: reference, serial number, hologram and overall coherence.

Detailed physical expertise
Our experts inspect leatherwork, stitching, hardware, heat stamps (date code, blind stamp) and materials, under loupe and lamp, against each maison's own codes.

Technological authentication — Entrupy
Where the category allows, the piece is analysed with Entrupy: an AI-powered microscopy technology that issues an authenticity verdict backed by a verifiable certificate.

Condition grading
The piece is graded on our condition scale (New to Fair) ; every sign of use is recorded and photographed for full transparency on the product page.

Authenticity card & listing
