Every GIA KARSKO pre-loved handbag is 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
Each pre-loved piece is individually sourced and reviewed by our team before it ever enters the collection. We only consider bags in excellent condition, with strong structure, honest wear and complete provenance.
On arrival at our Athens location, the bag is unpacked, photographed and graded. We examine leather grain, stitching, hardware, lining, corners and stamping, and record every sign of wear so you know exactly what you are buying.
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 — no exceptions.
Once a bag passes, a digital certificate of authenticity is issued for your specific piece and delivered with your order. Only then is the bag carefully packaged, fully insured and shipped from Athens with tracked worldwide delivery.

Pre-owned pieces ship from Florida. New-with-tags pieces ship from Athens. Both are fully insured and tracked worldwide.
