Authenticity Verification

The real thing.
Every time.

Every piece we sell is verified by hand by our in-house team before it ships. No copies. No replicas. No exceptions.

Authenticity is the foundation of Vale Forever Clothing. We’ve spent years building relationships with authorized retailers, vintage curators, and verified suppliers — and every single item that passes through our atelier is checked against the brand’s own production specifications before it reaches you.

What we verify

Our authentication process examines every detail that distinguishes a real piece from a counterfeit. We use a combination of physical inspection, digital cross-referencing, and brand documentation to confirm that what you receive is exactly what you’d find at the flagship store.

  • Tags & labels — fonts, stitching, placement, hologram details
  • Materials — fabric weight, weave, hand-feel, color accuracy
  • Stitching — thread tension, count per inch, finish quality
  • Hardware — zippers, rivets, buttons, embossing depth
  • Embroidery & prints — logo precision, raised stitch quality
  • Serial numbers — cross-referenced against brand records where applicable
  • Packaging — boxes, dust bags, care cards, paper inserts
Our process

4 steps. No shortcuts.

Every order goes through this verification before it leaves our atelier. Every time.

01
Source
We verify every supplier and channel before we ever stock a piece. No mystery sources.
02
Inspect
Trained authenticators check every tag, stitch, and material against the brand’s spec sheet.
03
Verify
Serial numbers and holographic tags cross-referenced with manufacturer records.
04
Certify
Approved items receive a numbered authenticity certificate before being packed.

Our team

Our authentication team has more than 15 years of combined experience in luxury and streetwear. We’re trained on the specific cues that matter for each brand we carry — from the embroidery thread count on a Cotton Wreath hoodie to the rivet stamp on a pair of selvedge jeans. We’ve handled tens of thousands of pieces, and we know what to look for.

What you receive

Every order ships with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity that traces back to our verification log. The certificate includes the date of inspection, the team member who approved the piece, and a photo record of the item before packing.

Our guarantee

If any item you receive from us is ever proven inauthentic by a third-party authenticator, we will refund 100% of your purchase plus the cost of the verification. No questions asked.

Independent verification

We encourage customers to verify our pieces independently if they wish. Reputable third-party authenticators like Entrupy, LegitGrails, and CheckCheck can confirm what our team has already certified. We stand behind every piece we sell.
