Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if Vertabrae pieces from CLB XXIII are real?
CLB XXIII verifies Vertabrae pieces using a multi point process: construction and material review, brand identifier checks on tags, logos, fonts and serial codes, and comparison against known authentic examples, plus a review of packaging, accessories and source history. High value pieces receive enhanced verification from trained specialists.
Are Vertabrae pieces from CLB XXIII new or pre-owned?
Vertabrae pieces sold through CLB XXIII can be new or pre-owned, and each listing states which. Condition is graded as New, Like New, Excellent, Very Good, Good or Fair, and the grade is shown on the product page along with authentication notes, so the exact condition is clear before you buy.
Is CLB XXIII an authorized Vertabrae retailer?
No. CLB XXIII operates as an independent reseller of authenticated Vertabrae pieces and has no affiliation with Vertabrae itself. All trademarks belong to their respective owner. Every piece still goes through CLB XXIII's own authentication process before it reaches the catalogue, regardless of the brand it carries.
Where can I try on Vertabrae pieces in store?
Vertabrae pieces can be seen in person at CLB XXIII's Cincinnati or Beavercreek, Ohio stores. Since most listings are a single unit in a single size, what is physically in the store can differ from what is live online, so it is worth confirming a specific piece before visiting.
What makes Vertabrae pieces rare or investment grade?
CLB XXIII treats Vertabrae pieces as rare or investment grade based on factors like scarcity, condition and how closely a piece matches known authentic examples during evaluation. Enhanced verification applies to high value categories such as jewelry and rare designer pieces. Since these are single unit listings, the live product page reflects current status and availability.
How do you authenticate every piece?
Every item is inspected in-house before it is listed. We check box labels, stitching, hardware, material quality and construction against known factory details, and each piece carries our lifetime authenticity guarantee.
Are there any buyer fees?
No. The price you see is the price you pay. We do not add buyer premiums or platform fees at checkout.
Can I place a deposit and pay the balance later?
Yes. We take a non-refundable 10% deposit that applies toward the total price of your order. Speak to a private client adviser to set one up.
