Authenticity Verification
Enfants Riches Déprimés
Authenticity Verification
Every Enfants Riches Déprimés piece we sell is checked for authenticity before it reaches you. Our intake team inspects each item against documented references, and nothing is listed until it clears every step. Our position is straightforward: genuine or it does not ship.
Our Verification Process
Authentication is done in-house and logged at every stage. Two people sign off on each piece — one at intake, one at pack — so nothing goes out on a single opinion.
- SourcingWe acquire through direct channels and vetted partners only, and we require a documented source trail for every unit before it enters intake.
- Material inspectionWe evaluate fabric weight, hand-feel, and knit density against our reference garments to confirm the piece is built to ERD's standard.
- Construction reviewStitching density, seam alignment, hem straightness, and collar build are checked under a visual grid. Irregularities are flagged and held.
- Graphic & print checkPrint registration, edge crispness, ink opacity, and placement are compared to reference imagery. Blacks must stay black; colors must hold true.
- Label & tag dataInterior labels, care tags, and any batch or lot markings are verified against our in-house reference board and photographed when needed.
- Final sign-offA second inspector reviews the unit at pick-and-pack. If anything falls outside tolerance, the piece is pulled and never listed.
What We Check

Documentation & Provenance
We keep detailed photos on file for each piece, including macro shots of prints, stitching, and interior tags. When a source trail is provided, we retain it with the item record. This gives every order a documented history from acquisition through inspection to packing.
Eligibility & Guarantee
We stand behind every item that passes our checks. You are covered when the piece you receive materially differs from its description in color, condition, fabric, or measurement; when the wrong item is sent in error; or when authenticity cannot be confirmed on review. Qualifying cases are resolved through our documented process using photo evidence and item IDs.
