Our FAQs

Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Do brands send you bags for free?
Occasionally we receive samples for review, which we always disclose. We also purchase bags at retail and secondhand. No brand pays for favorable coverage or influences our ratings.
Which bags hold their value best?
Hermès (Birkin, Kelly), Chanel (Classic Flap, Boy Bag), and Louis Vuitton (Neverfull, Speedy) have the strongest resale and appreciation track records based on five-year market data.
How do I spot a fake luxury bag?
Our authentication guides for each major brand cover hardware weight and engraving, stitching density and color, date codes, canvas pattern alignment, and interior finishing — with photo comparisons.
What is the best bag for everyday use?
For most lifestyles, a structured medium tote or shoulder bag in a neutral color covers 90% of occasions. Our everyday bag guide recommends specific models at every budget.
