Terms of service
A few ground rules for reading and reusing the work published on this journal.
These terms cover your use of the editorial journal published by The Brand Collector. They are short on purpose.
Access
The journal is free and open. You do not need an account to read it.
Intellectual property
Every article, photograph, illustration and design element on this site is the property of The Brand Collector or its editorial partners. You may read freely, share links and quote short passages for personal or educational use as long as you credit the source.
Republishing full articles, scraping content at scale or using our images for commercial purposes requires prior written permission.
Editorial point of view
Our writers have opinions. Articles about a particular handbag, its investment potential or a house's strategy reflect the judgement of the author at the time of writing. They are informational — never financial advice. Do your own research before treating a handbag as an asset.
Authentication
Our authentication articles share general guidance. They do not constitute a formal authentication service. For an official verdict, use a recognised authenticator.
External links
We occasionally link out to other sites when they add something useful. We do not control what happens on those sites and do not endorse their content.
Liability
We do our best to keep the journal accurate and online. We cannot, however, be held responsible for typos, outages or decisions you make based on something you have read here.
Changes
These terms may evolve. Any new version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
Governing law
These terms are governed by French law. Any dispute will be brought before the courts with jurisdiction over the publisher's registered office.
