The Threat

The Rise of Superfakes

These aren't cheap knockoffs. They're nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, down to the stitching, fonts, and even packaging. Entrupy's AI has seen it all, from eerily accurate Prada bags to Dior sneakers made with real leather.

Our Commitment

How Reluxe Vault Keeps It Real

At Reluxe Vault, we use Entrupy's authentication technology to verify every eligible item. Not most of the time. Every single time. Their AI system delivers 99.86% accuracy, scanning each piece with high-res imaging and pattern recognition to detect even the most advanced fakes.

  • We don't list what we wouldn't buy ourselves. Every item is handpicked and authenticated. If it doesn't pass, it doesn't get listed.
  • No inflated prices. No fake markdowns. No drama. We price based on what an item is actually worth.
  • Our reputation is built on trust. If anything ever turned out not to be authentic, our 100% money-back policy applies. No hoops, no hesitation.

"This report confirms what we've known all along. Counterfeits are a real threat. But instead of shying away, we double down on authentication. It's not just about selling pretty things, it's about protecting our customers." — Christine, Founder of Reluxe Vault
