01Quality control
Authentication and quality control.
At Affordable Luxury, we take authenticity seriously and go above and beyond to ensure that every item meets our rigorous standards. Every purchase is backed by our Authenticity Guarantee — or 100% of your money back.
Over years in the luxury resale market, we’ve developed a deep understanding of the world’s most coveted brands: their craftsmanship, and the details that separate an authentic piece from a counterfeit. Every item that joins our collection goes through a thorough authentication and quality control process by our in-house team — each assessed against the characteristics of its specific brand, model and production period.
02It’s in the details
Far beyond a logo or serial number.
Our team examines every item as a whole — carefully evaluating its consistency with the characteristics of the specific brand, model and production period, as well as any accessories and documentation.
