1.8. Authenticating Luxury Product - with Farida Patel

Fiona discusses the importance of spotting counterfit products, and authenticating luxury products with Farida Patel, a fellow Hermes specialist in the luxury goods industry and founder of Bags by Appointment. 

With fake products supporting the likes of terrorism and fraud, Freddy is on a mission to cleanse the insustry of non-authentic bags, and is set to launch an authentication course both online and in person this month, where her team will teach buyers, sellers and collectors how to authenticate Hermes bags - which is so important!
