Vintage Vault Aus partners with CheckCheck to expand independent authentication for Australian collectors

Australian vintage designer handbag retailer Vintage Vault Aus has selected CheckCheck as its independent authentication partner, adding another option for collectors seeking third-party authentication and documentation for eligible designer pieces.

Vintage Vault Aus was founded by Corina and Joshua Simmons and specialises in carefully curated vintage and designer handbags sourced predominantly from Japan.

The partnership complements Vintage Vault Aus’ existing trusted sourcing, assessment and provenance processes.

CheckCheck authentication does not automatically apply to every Vintage Vault Aus item. Selected pieces may include independent authentication, while customers can also request the service for eligible purchases and pieces already in their own collections.

Building the Personal Vault

The collaboration forms part of Vintage Vault Aus’ Personal Vault concept — encouraging collectors to document and preserve the history, provenance and authentication records associated with the pieces they own.

“Every vintage piece has a history, and for many collectors it becomes part of their own story. Personal Vault is about helping our community document and enjoy those pieces, with independent authentication available when it adds value to their collection.”

Another layer of confidence

For Vintage Vault Aus, independent authentication complements the sourcing, assessment, curation and provenance processes already used across the business.

CheckCheck provides an additional independent authentication option for eligible pieces when it adds value for the collector.

“Trust starts with how and where we source, careful assessment and transparency with our customers. CheckCheck adds an independent layer to that approach, giving collectors another option when they want third-party authentication and documentation for a piece.”
