AUTHENTICATION AND QUALITY
Authenticity
At The Room , authenticity is a prerequisite.
Each item offered in the store is carefully checked before being included in the selection.
We work exclusively with original vintage pieces, chosen for their quality, condition and consistency.
A rigorous check
Each garment, bag or accessory is examined individually.
Authentication is based on a cross-analysis of several elements, specific to each house and each era.
No item is put up for sale without having been checked.
What we check
Depending on the type of part and the brand, we pay particular attention to:
-
materials and their natural aging
-
the finishes and the quality of manufacture
-
labels, markings and serial numbers
-
locking systems and metal components
-
the consistency of the model with its production era
Every detail is compared to known references and our field experience.
Expertise built up over time
Our expertise is based on several years of sourcing and in-depth knowledge of luxury brands.
We work daily with old pieces, sometimes rare, often produced according to standards that are no longer those of today.
This constant familiarity with objects is at the heart of our requirement .
Transparency and accountability
Vintage implies specific characteristics :
Some pieces may show traces of time, inherent to their history.
When this is the case, the situation is systematically taken into account and communicated.
We prioritize a relationship of trust, based on transparency and the accuracy of information.
