VeriBag — a 22-point reference check for secondhand luxury handbags
Scan any Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Gucci or Prada bag with your iPhone camera. Get a structured consistency report in 30 seconds and share a verifiable QR link with any buyer. An independent reference tool — $7.99 per week unlimited, not $99 per scan.
Overview
What is VeriBag?
VeriBag is an independent iPhone reference tool that compares photos of a secondhand luxury handbag against 22 documented public reference points per brand-model.
It is built for buyers, sellers and gift receivers in the pre-owned luxury market — the people who need to know whether a Louis Vuitton Neverfull or Chanel Classic Flap is consistent with the brand's documented manufacturing patterns before they bid, ship or thank the giver.
VeriBag is not an authentication service, does not issue certificates and is not affiliated with any luxury brand. It is a structured 22-checkpoint checklist that cites the public source behind every comparison.
Audience
Who VeriBag is built for
Secondhand buyers
About to bid $1,650 on a Chanel Classic Flap on Vestiaire with six seller photos? VeriBag walks you through the same 22 details a trained authenticator looks at first — date code format, hologram sticker, quilting alignment at seams, interior leather marker, heat stamp typography.
Active resellers
You source bags at $200–800 and resell at $800–2,400. Every dispute freezes your money for weeks. VeriBag generates a shareable QR link you paste into your Poshmark, Depop or Mercari listing — buyers tap, see the 22-checkpoint breakdown, and trust the listing before they message you.
Gift receivers
A partner or in-law gave you a Louis Vuitton Speedy and you want the truth without insulting anyone. VeriBag runs the check on your device. No one sees the result but you.
Sellers avoiding claims
List a $2,800 Hermès Garden Party with a VeriBag pre-ship verify link attached. Disputes drop from policy-based "I think it's fake" to specific "checkpoint 14 looks off" — a conversation, not a funds freeze.
The method
What VeriBag actually checks — the 22 points
The 22 checkpoints group into six families. Every brand-model has its own version of the pattern, sourced from public reference material.
- Date code & manufacturing markers — format, typography, location and consistency with the bag's claimed era (Louis Vuitton date code generations, Chanel serial sticker placement, Hermès blind stamp font, Prada interior tag, Gucci serial leather plaque).
- Stitching — stitch density per inch, thread colour, angle at corners, lockstitch consistency and tension. Each brand has a documented norm.
- Hardware — finishing quality, engraving depth and font, screw orientation and weight-to-size ratio. Counterfeit hardware is typically the first checkpoint to flag.
- Glazing & leather edges — colour of the glazing paint, application thickness and consistency along trim edges. The 2020+ Louis Vuitton glazing norm is a different shade than 2015 production.
- Monogram or canvas alignment — pattern alignment at seams, repeat consistency and centring on flaps and pockets. A misaligned LV monogram at a seam is documented and flag-worthy.
- Interior & era-specific markers — interior leather tag construction, lining material and era markers like the 2021+ microchip generation on certain Louis Vuitton references.
Every checkpoint cites the public reference source it is compared against — Bagaholic, Purseblog, Lollipuff archives, Yoogi's Closet documentation.
Workflow
How it works — 30 seconds, three steps
- Pick the brand-model.Tap Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Gucci or Prada, then the model family — Neverfull, Speedy, Classic Flap, Birkin, GG Marmont. The app loads the 22-checkpoint reference set for that exact bag.
- Take or upload 6–8 guided photos.The camera walks you through each angle: date code close-up, exterior stitch detail, hardware engraving, glazing edge, heat stamp, interior tag, monogram-at-seam. You can also upload existing listing photos when checking a Vestiaire bid before you place it.
- Read the structured Reference Report.Each of the 22 checkpoints is marked consistent, flagged or unclear. A market price range from recent public listings sits next to the verdict, and a QR verify link gives you a shareable proof page for any listing or DM.
Comparison
VeriBag vs Entrupy vs LegitApp vs Real Authentication
An honest side-by-side. VeriBag is the everyday pre-purchase tool — not a replacement for certified authentication on high-value transactions.

In the wild
Real scenarios where VeriBag earns its keep
The $1,650 Vestiaire bid
Maya is about to bid $1,650 on a Chanel Classic Flap. She opens VeriBag, selects Chanel → Classic Flap Medium, uploads the seller's six photos. Three checkpoints flag — the hologram sticker font looks inconsistent with the claimed era and the quilting alignment at the front flap seam is off. Maya passes, finds a verified listing at $1,890 with a documented date code, and saves $1,650 from a likely loss.
The estate-sale Hermès Kelly
Alex is at an estate sale. A Hermès Kelly 28 is on the table for $400 — either a steal or a fake. He has 90 seconds. He opens VeriBag, selects Hermès → Kelly 28, photographs the blind stamp, hardware engraving, inside stamp, saddle-stitch density and interior tag. 22 checkpoints, 30 seconds, structured verdict with cited sources. He buys.
The pre-ship listing certificate
Sasha lists a $2,000 Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM on Poshmark. Before shipping she runs VeriBag, generates the QR verify link and pastes it into the listing. A buyer taps the QR, sees the 22-checkpoint breakdown — no app install required — and buys without questions. Two weeks later: no dispute, no funds freeze.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How does VeriBag verify a handbag?
VeriBag uses an AI model trained on public reference material from sources like Bagaholic, Purseblog, Lollipuff and Yoogi's Closet. You take 6–8 guided photos — date code, stitching, hardware, glazing, heat stamp, interior tag — and the app compares each detail to 22 documented reference points for the specific brand and model. Each checkpoint is marked consistent, flagged or unclear, with the public source cited. VeriBag is a reference checklist, not a certified authentication service.
Is VeriBag the same as Entrupy?
No. Entrupy is a microscopy-based authentication service that costs about $99 per scan and is mostly used by businesses. VeriBag is a consumer-grade AI reference tool that uses your iPhone camera and costs $7.99 per week unlimited. Entrupy issues authentication certificates with financial guarantees; VeriBag issues a structured consistency report with a shareable QR link — not a guarantee. For purchases above $5,000 we recommend pairing VeriBag with a certified physical authenticator like Entrupy or Bababebi.
Which brands does VeriBag support?
VeriBag currently supports Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Gucci and Prada — the five brands that dominate the secondhand luxury handbag market. Each brand has its own 22-checkpoint pattern sourced from public reference guides. Dior, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and Goyard are on the roadmap based on user demand.
Can I use VeriBag for Vestiaire, The RealReal, Poshmark or Depop listings?
Yes. VeriBag is designed for secondhand luxury workflows. Buyers use it before bidding to compare seller photos against the 22-checkpoint reference list. Resellers use it pre-ship to generate a shareable QR verify link they paste into Vestiaire, Poshmark, Depop or Mercari listings. The QR link takes a buyer to a public verify page with the checkpoint breakdown — no app install required on the buyer's side.
Does VeriBag guarantee authenticity?
No. VeriBag does not issue authentication certificates, financial guarantees or legally-defensible verdicts. It is an independent photo-based reference checklist that compares what you see against 22 documented public reference points per brand-model. For high-value transactions above $5,000, insurance claims or estate documentation, we strongly recommend a certified physical authenticator like Entrupy, Bababebi or Real Authentication.
How much does VeriBag cost?
Two subscription tiers: $7.99 per week with a 7-day free trial, and $39.99 per year — which saves about 90% versus weekly. The annual plan fits both casual buyers checking a few bags per year and active resellers running multi-listing operations.
Why does Entrupy cost $99 per bag if VeriBag costs $7.99 per week unlimited?
Entrupy uses a proprietary microscopy device with material-level analysis and backs its verdicts with a financial guarantee. VeriBag uses AI to compare phone photos against public reference patterns — no microscopy, no financial guarantee, and the model is shared across many users. Entrupy is the better tool when authentication must be legally defensible; VeriBag is the better tool for everyday pre-purchase or pre-ship sanity checks.
How accurate is the 22-point reference check?
Accuracy depends on photo quality and the specific brand-model. Modern Louis Vuitton and Chanel typically reach high-confidence verdicts on most checkpoints. Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags are harder due to craftsmanship variation across decades. Vintage bags pre-1990 frequently return more "unclear" checkpoints because public reference material thins out. Every checkpoint is marked consistent, flagged or unclear — VeriBag never claims 100% accuracy.
Stop guessing before you buy or ship.

What VeriBag is and is not. VeriBag is an independent photo-based reference checklist. It does not provide authentication guarantees, issue certificates of authenticity, claim to represent any luxury brand, or replace professional physical inspection.
VeriBag is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Gucci, Prada, Entrupy or any other brand. All brand and model names are used nominatively to describe which public reference pattern the app compares against.
For transactions above $5,000, insurance documentation or legally-defensible authentication, pair any photo-based reference check with a professional physical authenticator — Entrupy, Bababebi or Real Authentication.
