Is it safe to buy a used designer bag online in Mexico?
Short answer: it can be, if you buy with a document from an outside service, clear photos of the whole piece, the condition in writing and the rules agreed before you pay. Nobody can promise a bag is authentic from a photo, and Kove does not: we sell pre-owned pieces and say plainly what each one comes with.

The same checks for Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Hermès
The brand changes the price, not the method. Whichever house it is, ask for these before you pay.
- A document from someone other than the seller. An Entrupy or Legit App report, or a certificate. Ask who issued it and look at it yourself.
- Photos of the whole piece. Front, back, base, interior, hardware, stitching and every mark. If the seller will not send one more photo, that tells you something.
- The condition in words. Corners, handles, lining, smell, marks.
- The total cost. Price, shipping and any fee, in pesos, in writing.
- The rules. What you pay to reserve, what happens if you cancel, and whether you can return it.
Stop and ask again if the seller pushes you to pay before you have seen the document, or will not put the terms in writing.

What Kove does and does not do
Kove does not authenticate pieces and does not say that a piece is authentic. When a piece already comes with a document from an outside service such as Entrupy, its page shows the document and says who issued it. When it does not, you can ask for an outside verification: it costs $500 MXN, the outside service issues the document, and we hand it to you as it is. Read what we do and do not claim.

Questions
Is it safe to buy a used Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci or Hermès bag online in Mexico?
It can be, if you buy with a document from an outside service, photos of the whole piece, the condition in writing and the rules agreed before you pay. A photo alone does not prove a bag is authentic.
Does Kove say its bags are authentic?
No. Kove does not authenticate pieces and does not say a piece is authentic. It shows the document when a piece has one and says who issued it.
What is Entrupy?
An outside verification service. Kove does not run it: when a piece comes with its report, the page shows it.
What if I do not like the bag when it arrives?
It can only be exchanged for store credit. There are no cash refunds, so check the photos and condition notes before you reserve.
How much does an outside verification cost?
MXN 500. An outside service issues the document and Kove hands it to you as it is.
Is shipping included?
No. It is extra and we quote it before you pay.
