Also, many bags are delivered with the accessories and the most delicate parts protected to avoid scratches, tears or abrasions. All bags and other items will include tags, cards and any other paper they normally have in the boutique.

Do the articles contain their authenticity tags?
Obviously. Just like in a shop. And for example:

• Fendi will come with 1 tag that have description of the item. For special leather edition a small book is included to explain how to have care about that leather. Any Fendi bag have also an Hologram inside that is the proof of autenticity.
