AUTHENTICATION

At Bunboo London, we adopt a multi-layer authentication standard for every item we assess.

Every piece is carefully examined by professionally trained in-house specialists through a meticulous physical inspection process, including evaluation of materials, craftsmanship, embossing, hardware, and comparison against brand reference data.

Additionally, We use Entrupy as a supporting authentication tool, providing additional scientific reference alongside manual inspection through high-resolution microscopic imaging and pattern-based data comparison.

Authentication is a paid service, with pricing starting from £200 per item and typically requires up to 3 working days, depending on item complexity.
