Ridgewood NJ, In the consignment industry, carrying high end goods such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes etc. come with it’s own special set of circumstances. Savvy Chic Consignment Boutique only carries authentic pieces in our store. Savvy Chic Consignment Boutique stands behind every item we sell for authenticity. Authenticating items is a time consuming and demanding process. Savvy Chic Consignment Boutique put the effort in to give their customers the best service they can. Customers know they can buy from them with confidence that the items they are purchasing are authentic.
Fake items has become a huge industry across the world and the consignment business has been impacted by this. There are many people who sell fake goods as authentic and the consumer gets hurt by it.
Savvy Chic Consignment Boutique authenticates every item that comes into the store. It can sometimes be a lengthy process but if we can’t authenticate an item we will not accept it. Savvy Chic Consignment Boutique is often forced to turn a lot of merchandise away.
In addition to personal authentication by Savvy Chic Consignment Boutique and experts they work with, there now exists a technological innovation that offers authentication and guarantees.
The company is Entrupy and is being used by major consignment businesses around the world. We also use them when we want another opinion. The process is relatively simple and I am attaching some interviews of businesses that have utilized Entrupy and have done authentication events.
Up until now, Savvy Chic Consignment Boutique did not authenticate items that were not being sold in the store. We now provide authentications to outside items at a charge of $30 per item. In order to promote this service to our customers and/or potential consignors we are holding an event on Saturday, February 17th from 12 – 4 where people can come in with their Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci. etc. handbags and have them authenticated for FREE! We will provide them with an authentication certificate from Entrupy for every bag they bring in. We will also tell them if it is not authenticate. And we will be serving champagne and hor’dourves to really make it a party! At that time, if they would like to consign with us they can and if not they do not have to. Sometimes people just want to know what they have. They might have inherited an item or received a gif and want to know exactly what they have.
Entrupy is the world’s first and only on-demand authentication solution that eliminates human error. Here is a link to their technology page if you would like to understand the process a little more: https://www.entrupy.com/technology/
