Authentication & Condition
At Evina®, authenticity is central to the way we curate our collection.
Each piece is assessed by our in-house experts before it is made available, drawing on specialist knowledge of luxury craftsmanship, materials, hardware, construction and house-specific details.
We look beyond surface presentation, considering the finish, structure and defining characteristics of each item.
Only pieces that meet our standards are approved for sale.

Our Standard
Authentication is completed prior to any item being made available.
Our grading system of N, A+, A and AB, outlined in our Condition Guide, defines the condition of each item following authentication, clearly distinguishing authenticity from wear.
Supporting Documentation
Where available, select items may be accompanied by original purchase documentation or a copy of the original receipt.
These are provided as supporting provenance and are reviewed alongside our authentication process, but do not form the sole basis of verification.
For privacy and discretion, sensitive information may be redacted where necessary.
Authenticity Guarantee
We stand fully behind the authenticity of every item we offer. Each piece is rigorously inspected by our experts before it is ever listed.
Evina® does not sell counterfeit items under any circumstances.
