How Revaleur works: Purchasing and verification explained

How does Revaleur work? Our purchasing and verification processes explained

When buying pre-owned luxury fashion, you want certainty. You want to know that the Stone Island jacket is authentic, that the Suitsupply blazer is in top condition, and that you're getting value for your money. That's why at Revaleur, we've developed a rigorous process. In this blog post, we'll take you behind the scenes: how exactly does Revaleur work?

Step 1: Selection and Intake of Pre-owned Items

It all starts with a keen eye for quality. When you send an item to Revaleur, it first goes through our intake. We don't just check if a garment is neat – we look at its true value. Does the garment still have a lot of life left? Is it from a brand that our customers appreciate, such as Ralph Lauren, Cavallaro, or Profuomo?

In this phase, items are sorted. Some pieces make it through to the next round, others don't. We are selective because we want our offering to remain top quality. This means that not everything that comes to us ends up in our collection.

Step 2: The Verification and Authenticity Process

This is where the magic happens. How does Revaleur's verification process work? We have a team of experts trained in recognizing authentic and fake luxury fashion. Every item undergoes a thorough authenticity check.

We look at:

  • Accuracy of labels and branding
  • Quality of seams and finishing
  • Materials used and texture
  • Logo consistency and placement
  • Weight and feel of the garment

Pro tip: Did you know that genuine Stone Island jackets have a unique made-label with a serial number? This is one of the things we check. These kinds of details help us distinguish fake from real.

Step 3: Cleaning and Conditioning

After authentication, each item goes to our cleaning and restoration phase. We work with specialists who know how to treat luxury materials. A Suitsupply suit receives professional steaming, a Ralph Lauren shirt maintains its structure.

Minor flaws are repaired – a loose button, a small tear in the seam. We do all of this carefully, without affecting the character of the vintage piece. Why? Because authentic pre-owned fashion is beautiful precisely because of its patina and history.

Revaleur is opgericht in augustus 2024 om problemen aan te pakken die de meeste vintagewinkels negeren: onduidelijke maatvoering, verborgen gebreken en twijfelachtige authenticiteit.

We begonnen met één doel voor ogen: ervoor zorgen dat de aankoop van vintage net zo betrouwbaar aanvoelt als de aankoop van nieuw.

Elk item wordt met de hand opgemeten, de staat wordt beoordeeld en het is met zorg geselecteerd. Geen vage maten, geen onverwachte gebreken, geen giswerk. Gewoon doordachte, hoogwaardige vintage designerstukken, transparant gepresenteerd en klaar om te dragen.

Echte designermode, transparant gepresenteerd en direct draagbaar.
