our guarantees
At Vintage Idols, we understand the importance of trust and authenticity when it comes to preloved luxury handbags. Our commitment to these values stems from firsthand experiences with counterfeit products. This is why we have made it our mission to ensure every item we sell is genuine.
Our online store is dedicated to providing you with authentic preloved designer handbags and luxury goods. To achieve this, we utilise Entrupy, an advanced AI-based authentication service. This technology allows us to verify the authenticity of every product, offering you a transparent and reliable way to purchase with confidence.
Additionally, we offer a 14-day, no-quibble, 100% money-back guarantee. This ensures you can shop at Vintage Idols with peace of mind, knowing you can return any item if it does not meet your expectations.
Our business is built on trust, and we are here to provide you with the highest quality preloved luxury handbags and accessories that we can find.
Condition
We offer a curated selection of carefully sourced preloved vintage designer items from around the world. Each piece is chosen for its unique characteristics such as condition and rarity to ensure that it is beautiful and of the highest quality.
While some items may exhibit signs of wear, there are some that are in "New" condition, never having been used before. We strive to be detailed and precise when describing the condition of an item and also provide an overall assessment, so you can have a complete understanding of the item and determine if it meets your expectations.
It is important to thoroughly review all the photos of your selected item to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase and avoid the need for a return, which may include additional costs such as postage and fees.
If you have any questions, or need further photos, please don’t hesitate to ask, we want you to buy with total confidence that you are getting what you see.

When using Entrupy scientifically proven method it guarantees that every item purchased from my boutique is authentic. I have partnered with Entrupy who are based in the US to provide you with a 100% financial guarantee to give you peace of mind. I really do take pride in providing my customers with 100% genuine luxury products.
I am also proud that my small business is advanced in deeming all items authentic.
