Are items sold on A Retro Tale replicas or authentic originals?
Every item listed for sale on A Retro Tale has been authenticated by our in-house experts. Furthermore, upon sourcing, A Retro Tale collaborates with an international network of independent suppliers with expertise in authentication. Our two-step screening process ensures 100% authenticity for your assurance.
In addition to our own authenticity guarantee, we also offer certificates of authenticity issued by independent and industry-leading third-party services:
Entrupy
Real Authentication
These services specialize in various brands and product categories to ensure the highest possible accuracy. When you purchase this service, you receive a certificate from one of these leading and independent companies.
Why choose a third-party certificate of authenticity?
Ensure authenticity: In addition to A Retro Tale’s authenticity guarantee, a well-known independent party verifies the authenticity.
Enhance value: A certificate makes resale easier and helps maintain the product’s market value.
Insurance documentation: Perfect to have if your insurance company requires proof of authenticity.
The certificate is delivered digitally to your email address 17 days after you received your product, making it simple and convenient.
Please note that previous bought bags, Jaquemus, Longines, Tiffany, Van Cleef, Universal Genève and Cartier items are not eligible for the Certificate of Authenticity. However, some products may already include their original authenticity card. Additionally, please be aware that delivery times may vary due to the certificate creation process.

How is our discount on the original price calculated?
We show how much you save by comparing our price with the recommended retail price (RRP) for a new product from the brand.
The discount percentage is calculated using the following formula: (Brand’s price for the item in EUR incl. VAT - A Retro Tale’s Vintage Price before any discounts in EUR incl. VAT) / Brand’s price for the item in EUR incl. VAT.
This results in a percentage that reflects how much you save by purchasing the item vintage instead of new from the brand. Please note that the RRP is the price recommended by the manufacturer or retailer, while our price is what we offer for the same item.
How long is your customer support response time?
We aim to respond to all customer inquiries within 48 hours on weekdays. If you contact us during a weekend or public holiday, it may take a little longer – but we’ll get back to you as soon as we can once our support team is back online.
Our customer support team always does its best to provide you with a quick and clear response, whether it’s about an order, a product question, or anything else you might need help with.
