Authenticity
Authenticity & Quality Assurance
At Tokyo Vintage MIYABI, authenticity is not a claim — it is a responsibility.
Every item we offer is carefully examined before it is presented for sale. Only pieces that pass our internal verification standards are selected for our collection.
Our Authentication Process
Each item undergoes a structured, hands-on review conducted by our in-house specialists.
Material & Craftsmanship Review
Leather texture, stitching patterns, lining construction, and overall workmanship are examined to ensure consistency with the brand’s original manufacturing standards.
Hardware & Marking Inspection
Zippers, metal components, engravings, and brand markings are checked for accuracy in form, placement, and finishing.
Production Code Verification
Serial numbers, date codes, or production markings are reviewed in accordance with each brand’s historical rules and timelines.
Brand-Specific Detail Assessment
Design characteristics unique to each brand and production period are cross-checked, including typography, embossing depth, proportions, and construction techniques.
Condition & Aging Evaluation
Natural signs of use are distinguished from abnormal damage, structural alteration, or post-production modification, ensuring transparent condition disclosure.
All authentication results are confirmed through multiple internal reviews to minimize the risk of misjudgment.
Why In-House Authentication
- Our specialists work directly with physical items on a daily basis
- Internal standards allow for consistent evaluation
- Efficient review without passing additional costs to customers
This approach reflects common practice among established vintage boutiques in Japan.
