A new standard, built from necessity.

Authenticated by Aureon was created to bring clarity, consistency and accountability to Hermès authentication. In a market where provenance directly affects value, relying on a single opinion, a photograph or unverified digital tools is no longer sufficient.

The industry requires a formal, multi-expert, physical standard supported by documentation that can withstand insurance and legal review.

Every item is physically inspected in-house using our proprietary 72-point protocol and reviewed by four Hermès specialists — two internal and two fully independent external reviewers. Our 72-point methodology was created in-house to provide a measurable, repeatable structure for multi-expert review in a category where no formal standard previously existed. A certificate is issued only when all four experts reach full agreement.

We are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Hermès. All assessments are carried out independently using our own proprietary methodology, developed over more than a decade.

Each authentication includes a formal market valuation as part of the documentation pack. All items are handled within a controlled environment with full oversight once in our care.

Our team has authenticated over 10,000 Hermès bags and reviewed more than $100 million in value. Our experience spans luxury authentication, resale advisory and institutional client services, working across every category and era of Hermès production.

We come from years of intensive, in-person handling of thousands of Hermès pieces, giving us a level of practical, category-specific expertise that cannot be replicated through theory or limited-volume work. Our process is built around physical examination, technical precision and multi-expert consensus, and it sits alongside the work of respected specialists who apply their own recognised expertise within the category.
