AUTHENTICATION
WE OFFER A 100% AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE FOR ALL ITEMS AT DECHOES
We have authenticated all of our items in-house since our store opened up in 2002. Our team has over five decades of combined experience working with luxury designer goods. Each item is carefully inspected via our multi-point process.
BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
We offer a 90-day money back authenticity guarantee on all items you buy from Dechoes.
Within that time frame, if you can provide prove that your item is inauthentic we will refund you 100%. We will check over the item and compare our authentication to the points of inauthenticity to make a final determination. If you would like to open a case with us, you can call or DM us during our business hours, daily 11-7pm.
OUR PROCESS
STEP 1
ASSESS
Based on touch and feel, we assess the quality of the item compared to previous experience with authentic items. We look the item over for initial flaws or discrepancies.
STEP 2
COMPARE
Once the first check is passed, we will then find the specific item and use multiple resources to compare intricate details such as stitch count, dimensions, and other specifications.
STEP 3
REVIEW
If our examination aligns with what we expect and observe from authentic items, we will make an offer. If there are inconsistencies, we will pass for now and ask the seller to bring back a receipt or 3rd party authentication.
SELLING YOUR ITEM
In order to maintain our authenticity guarantee, we are extremely careful during our authentication process. Please be patient while we authenticate your item in store. If we are not 100% sure an item is authentic we will pass on it or ask for proof of authenticity. This will come in the form of original receipt or reputable Third Party certifications of authenticity.
