The GIA KARSKO Standard

Authentication Process

Every GIA KARSKO bag is brand new with tags and professionally authenticated before it ever reaches you — from the moment a piece arrives at our Athens location to the moment it is sealed for shipping.

Authenticated in Athens · LegitGrails Certified

  1. 01

    Intake & Inspection

    Every bag that arrives at our Athens location is unpacked, photographed and logged. Our team examines the piece by hand — leather grain, stitching, hardware weight, lining and stamping.

  2. 02

    Professional Authentication

    Each piece is then submitted to LegitGrails (legitgrails.com), an independent authentication service trusted across the luxury market. Their experts verify the bag against the maison's official specifications and issue a pass or fail verdict.

  3. 03

    Digital Certificate

    Once a bag passes, a digital certificate of authenticity is created for your specific piece. Your certificate is delivered with your order, giving you complete, documented confidence that your bag is genuine.

  4. 04

    Packaging & Shipping

    Only after authentication is a bag carefully packaged and shipped from Athens. Each order is fully insured, and worldwide delivery is tracked from our door to yours.
