"THE FIFTH COLLECTION gains an opportunity to become a leader within a new generation of luxury re-sellers committed to combat piracy." - CNBC
"Technology that can spot counterfeits without the guesswork. [Entrupy's] accuracy has improved to better than 98 percent." - The Business of Fashion
"Entrupy magnifies objects 260 times, so features invisible to the human eye become telltale signs." - Bloomberg
"A nifty device that can tell the difference between a counterfeit designer bag and the real deal." - Refinery 29
How the Technology Works
A microscopic camera takes 260x magnified surface pictures, providing rich visual data for the software to process and analyze. Using advanced computer vision and deep convolutional neural networks, the results are compared against a database of millions of images. Authentication accuracy is near perfect, learning and improving from each additional scan.
Beyond the Technology
An expert human touch meaningfully augments quality control and authentication processes. That is why one of our experts personally authenticates each and every one of our products in person, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Qualitative means our team's sensory experience with specific brands over many years, and includes elements that go beyond appearance such as smell, feel or sound.
Quantitative means our proprietary database of technical measures for each brand, model and year to check as we process each item.
Guarantee
We proudly offer an unlimited money-back authenticity guarantee: if your purchase is ever determined to be a counterfeit, we will refund you in full. Combined with free 7-day worldwide return and refund policy, why bother shopping anywhere else?
Zero Tolerance
We are registered with the Singapore Police Force under the Secondhand Goods Dealers Act, giving you the additional confidence that you're dealing with professionals operating at the highest standards.
