Every fake has tells.
So does the real thing.

RealTells is an AI service that checks photos of designer bags, shoes and accessories. Several AI models examine the key stitches, stamps and codes, list the evidence for and against authenticity, and then give an opinion you can actually understand, in minutes.

We're launching soon. By joining the waitlist you agree to receive launch emails — see our Privacy Policy.

How it works

A check takes a few minutes of your time and a few minutes of ours.

01

Photograph the details

Pick the brand and item type. A short guide shows exactly which close-ups matter for that item: logo stamp, serial or date code, hardware, stitching, lining, labels.

02

Free photo pre-check

Before you pay, we check that the photos are sharp and complete and tell you which angles are missing, so you don't spend money on a check that can't succeed.

03

AI examination and report

Several independent AI models examine each detail and compare it with reference examples. You get a report with every finding for and against, ranked by importance, and an overall opinion.

What's in a report

Not just "real" or "fake". You see the evidence and decide for yourself.

  • An overall opinion: Likely authentic, Inconclusive or Not verified — inconsistencies found — with a confidence level
  • Every finding for and against authenticity, grouped and ranked by how much it matters
  • Each finding linked to the photo and the area it came from
  • What could not be checked, and which extra photos would raise confidence
  • Code and serial format checks where the brand uses them
  • A private link to your report that you can choose to share

Questions

Is this an official authentication?

No. RealTells gives an AI-generated opinion based only on the photos you provide. It is not a physical inspection, not a certificate from the brand and not a guarantee. Brands do not take part in our checks.

Who makes the decision — a person or AI?

The analysis is done by software: several AI models examine your photos and their findings are combined into one report. The report always says it was generated by AI.

How accurate is it?

We will publish our methodology and measured accuracy — including how often a check ends as Inconclusive — before we start selling reports. We won't quote accuracy numbers we haven't measured.

What if the result is Inconclusive?

If the photos don't allow a confident opinion, the report says so and explains which photos would help. Credits for an Inconclusive report are returned automatically.

Which photos do I need?

It depends on the item. Typically: the whole item from the front and back, the logo or heat stamp, the serial or date code, hardware and zippers, stitching, the lining and any labels. RealTells guides you step by step.

What happens to my photos?

Your photos are used to produce your report. We never sell them. You can ask us to delete them at any time. See the Privacy Policy.
