yes, that's us ...... we'd love to meet you, so if you're ever passing please pop in
always authentic began as a part time hobby and has rapidly grown to become the UK's most trusted luxury handbag agency.
We started always authentic six years ago after realising that there was a market for previously owned authentic luxury handbags, shoes and accessories on the internet. Purchasing on the internet was challenging to say the least, with a minefield of fakes, overpriced and under-described bags and a shortage of trustworthy, honest and knowledgeable sellers.
Over the last six years we have built a reputation built on honesty and trust by being authentic in everything we do, from the bags we sell to the way we describe and photograph our items.
We have also gained an unparalleled knowledge of the luxury handbag market that makes always authentic the natural choice should you be buying or selling with us.
always authentic continues to grow, as well as our website and eBay, we now have a shop in the Triangle Shopping Centre, Manchester.

Why buy from us
Everything we sell is carefully authenticated by two authenticators that individually inspect each and every item in detail prior to listing.
Each item is authenticated twice to ensure that we prove our own due diligence. This means that we take all steps necessary to rule out the risk of selling you a fake or replica.
Every single item we sell has its own set of unique photos that are taken by our very own talented photographer Marc and water marked with our always authentic logo.
All photographs will be of the actual item you will receive and under no circumstances do we use 'stock' or recycled photographs.
We include as much information as possible when writing our listings and we describe all of our items to the best of our abilities.
Please feel free to ask as many questions as you wish prior to buying from us to ensure you are completely happy with the condition of your purchase.
Why Sell with us
At always authentic we understand that there comes a time even with the most beautiful of luxury goods when you think about selling them to buy more beautiful things. When that time comes we are here to help.
Selling luxury goods on the internet is very difficult for the individual seller, you have to worry about photographing your items, accurately describing items, dealing with international customers and payments and posting your items worldwide.
At always authentic we are highly experienced in all of these areas so we can achieve the very best prices for your items and you can let us worry about the selling process. All you have to do is work out what beautiful things you are going to spend the proceeds on.
