Authenticity
CLB XXIII Authenticity Guarantee
At CLB XXIII, we are committed to providing authentic luxury goods you can trust. Every item we sell undergoes a thorough authentication process before being made available for purchase.
What “Authentic” Means
An item is considered authentic when, based on our professional evaluation, it is consistent with known manufacturing standards, materials, and brand identifiers of the respective designer or brand.
Our determinations are made using industry knowledge, experience, and available reference materials.
Our Authentication Process
Each item is reviewed using a multi-point inspection process, which may include:
-
Material & Construction Review
Assessment of quality, stitching, hardware, and overall craftsmanship -
Brand Identifier Verification
Review of tags, logos, engravings, fonts, and serial or date codes (when applicable) -
Product-Specific Evaluation
Comparison of shape, structure, color, and design details against known authentic examples -
Packaging & Accessories Review
Examination of included packaging and related materials when available -
Source Review
Consideration of supplier history and prior verified transactions
In certain cases, we may consult additional resources or third-party experts to support our evaluation.
Our Guarantee
We stand behind the items we sell.
If you have concerns about the authenticity of a product purchased from CLB XXIII, you may request a review. If, upon inspection, an item is determined by our team to be not authentic, we will provide a full refund.
CLB XXIII reserves the right to request reasonable supporting information and to decline claims where sufficient verification cannot be completed.
Customer Responsibilities
To ensure the integrity of the authentication process:
- Items must be returned in the same condition as received
- All CLB XXIII tags, seals, or identifiers must remain attached and unaltered
- Items should not be worn, modified, or altered prior to return
When the Guarantee Does Not Apply
We may be unable to evaluate or accept a claim if:
- Tags or authentication identifiers have been removed or tampered with
- The item has been worn, altered, or damaged after delivery
- The returned item does not match the original item sold
Enhanced Verification for Select Items
For certain high-value or high-risk categories—including but not limited to jewelry, rare designer pieces, and brands such as Chrome Hearts—CLB XXIII may apply additional verification standards.
These may include:
- Detailed condition and identifier matching against original fulfillment records
- Internal documentation review (including photos and item-specific characteristics)
- Additional inspection requirements prior to claim resolution
In cases where an item cannot be confidently verified as the original piece sold, CLB XXIII reserves the right to deny the claim.
Additional Notes
- Authentication is based on current industry standards and available information, which may evolve over time
- Independent or third-party opinions may vary and do not necessarily reflect our evaluation process
- CLB XXIII is an independent reseller and is not affiliated with the brands we carry
Our Commitment
We take authentication seriously and maintain a strict policy against counterfeit goods. Our goal is to provide a reliable and transparent buying experience backed by careful review and professional judgment.
