- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To know if your Birkin is real, check the heat stamp inside. Beneath the front flap of a real Birkin is the phrase of dreams: Hermès Paris Made in France. Label stamps are lightly pressed into the leather in gold or silver or as a colorless imprint; metallics generally match the hardware. Check that the accent is correct on the è, the stamp is perfectly centered and at the correct distance from the top (very close to the top stitching), and the letters are clear and fine (not heavy-handed). It shouldn’t look engraved, painted on or irregular. Done by the hand of an experienced artisan, the stitches on the Birkin are slightly angled, tight and precise. Generally, the thread is the same color as the bag. Since the stitching is hand-done, it may have small inconsistencies — but it will never be messy. Sloppy work such as loose or hanging threads is the work of a counterfeiter, not a lazy artisan. There are no lazy artisans in the world of Hermès. Find a collection of Hermès Birkin bags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 29, 2024There are a few things you should know before buying a Rolex. The first question to ask yourself is whether you want a new, pre-owned or vintage Rolex. Although definitions vary, pre-owned watches are generally those less than 20 years old, while vintage watches are 20 years old and up.
Buying a new, never-worn watch enables you to build a history with it that isn’t shared by anyone else, but the greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned Rolex is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued. (Everyone seems to have heart-shaped eyes for vintage watches right now.)
Before shopping for a Rolex online, you may want to become acquainted with its components, such as the movement, the case and the lugs, so that you can easily compare and contrast your options.
Familiarize yourself with popular Rolex models, which include the Oyster Perpetual, the Submariner and the Daytona. Which one is a good fit for you? Each model has its own look, features and personality.
The choice of a strap or bracelet can drastically affect the look of your watch, making it formal or casual, traditional or daring. Although often an afterthought, it’s an important element.
See our official Rolex buying guide, and find an exquisite collection of vintage Rolex watches today on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024To know if your Longchamp is authentic, first look for its serial number. It should begin with AA, AE or AB and will appear both on a tag inside the bag and on the plastic cover that a new Longchamp arrives in. Next, check the zippers. They should move smoothly and will usually carry YKK markings. On leather bags, the strap and flaps should also be crafted out of genuine leather. If you need assistance authenticating your bag, seek the help of a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Explore a variety of Longchamp bags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024To know if your figurines are valuable, first try to determine the maker. Look for markings on the bottoms or backs of your figurines to get started. You can snap a photo of the markings and perform a reverse image search online or type a description of them into a search engine. Once you have determined the maker, you can do research to learn how much figurines similar to yours have sold for in the past. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer assess your piece and give you an estimate of how much it is worth based on its type, maker, age and condition. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of figurines.
- Do people know who Banksy is?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024No, people generally don't know who Banksy is.

However, Banksy goes to great lengths to conceal his identity from the public. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Banksy art.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 18, 2024To know if a rosary is antique, check its beads. The beads on modern rosaries are largely made of wood, glass or inexpensive plastic, and they’re likely linked by a chain or a cord. Old rosary beads were frequently strung on silk or another type of thread.
Hundreds of years ago, some rosaries, such as those produced during the 16th century for example, were made by goldsmiths. The era of mass production for these prayer beads began to take shape during the 15th century, and this development allowed for rosaries to be made of materials such as lead, glass, bone and wood. Online resources suggest that if the rosary’s crucifix and center medal are not made of the same material, it’s likely that a component of your rosary has been replaced over the years.
In order to properly determine the age of your rosary, experts recommend working with an antiques dealer or other type of professional in the collectibles realm.
Over time, vintage and antique religious artifacts have become popular with collectors and the devout alike, and religious art has been used to express devotion across a range of media. Find rosaries today on 1stDibs.
