Pre-owned bag evidence
Two bags with the same style name can have different size, materials, production details, wear, repairs, odor, included items and provenance. Intake should create one traceable record for the actual item before any condition, authenticity or resale statement is published.
Direct answer
Assign an item ID and photograph the bag unopened from all sides. Record displayed brand and model references, dimensions, material only when verified, color, serial or date markings without exposing sensitive data, included accessories and source history. Inspect mapped exterior, edge, corner, base, handle, strap, hardware, closure and interior zones. Record cleaning, repair and alteration disclosures, then state who reviewed authenticity and what that review does and does not cover.

Record internal item ID, displayed brand and style references, approximate size only after measuring, color, construction features and visible codes or stamps. Photograph markings privately and redact them in public images when exposure could create misuse or privacy risk.
Capture front, back, both sides, base, top, open interior and all included items before cleaning or repair. Keep intake packaging and shipping-damage evidence. Use a scale and neutral lighting so later changes can be compared.
Divide condition into front, back, left, right, base, top, piping, corners, glazing, handles, strap anchors and shape. Record scratches, stains, color transfer, fading, cracking, peeling, dents, loss of structure and uneven wear by exact location.
Check zipper, turn lock, snaps, clasps, feet, chains, rings and adjustment hardware for function, plating wear, scratches, looseness, missing parts and replacement signs. Do not force a stiff mechanism; record it and route repair safely.
Photograph main compartment, pockets, seams and label areas. Record stains, ink, makeup, debris, tears, stickiness, odor and loss of coating without trying to name an unknown substance. Use hygiene controls and stop if contamination requires specialist handling.
List strap, pouch, lock, keys, clochette, charm, dust bag, box, receipt or other material separately and describe whether each is presented as original, replacement or unknown. Record source and transfer chronology without converting accessories or paperwork into automatic authenticity proof.
Record authentication provider and scope, cleaning, repair, replaced parts and final condition review. Rephotograph changed areas. Publish only item-specific facts and visible condition, disclose material limitations and link every claim to the retained intake record.

Fill only the details relevant to your request
Before you send the request
Include item identity, measurements, untouched photos, mapped exterior and interior condition, hardware function, included items, source history, repairs and the exact authentication review scope.
No single accessory or document automatically proves the bag. Record each item and source, then rely only on the scope and conclusion of the actual authentication process used.
No. Photograph arrival condition first. Later cleaning or repair should have its own record and after photos so the listing does not hide the item's history.
Use neutral observable wording, intensity and location without diagnosing an unknown substance. Strong or concerning contamination should be isolated for specialist review.
Keep the request specific
Detailed photographs and codes support identification and comparison but do not by themselves prove authenticity. State the reviewer, method scope, date and limitations. Never promise certainty beyond the service or evidence actually obtained.

MINJI separates observable item condition, seller-supplied history, included items, restoration and third-party authentication scope. The checklist does not authenticate a bag from photos, accessories or displayed branding and does not invent material or provenance facts.
