How it works

Three steps, one visit

Authentication used to mean shipping your bag across the country and waiting. This is mobile and by appointment only — I come to you, and it’s done in person, locally, while you watch.

I

Book

Tell me what you have — the brand, the item, and where you’d like me to meet you. We set a time that works, and I come to you.

Mobile · By appointment only
II

I come to you & scan

At your home, business, or shop, I scan the piece with Entrupy’s technology — the materials, stitching, and hardware at a microscopic level, checked against a database of authentic pieces. Your item never leaves your sight.

About 10–50 minutes

Why mobile & in person

A look is an opinion. This is proof.

Stitching, feel, and a good eye are clues — they’re not proof. The best fakes copy all of that now, and genuine pieces vary by factory, year, and wear.

Scanned, not eyeballed

Entrupy examines your piece at a microscopic level — materials, stitching, hardware, construction — and compares it against a vast database of authentic items. And Entrupy doesn’t just issue the verdict — it stands behind it financially. See the guarantee below.

Your piece never leaves town — and neither do you. No mailing it to a service, no verdict from a few photos, no trip to anyone’s house. I come to you, it’s scanned in front of you, and it stays with you.

And it answers one question only, honestly: is it real? Authentication is not an appraisal — it doesn’t tell you what a piece is worth. It tells you what it is.

Peace of mind, for all three sides

The buyer

Spend with confidence — know before the money changes hands, not after.

The seller

Prove what you have is real, and ask full price with a certificate to hand over.

The shop

Pawn shops, boutiques, and resale stores: take in pieces without risking your reputation on a guess. Mobile visits and repeat service are the service — I come to your shop, by appointment.

The Entrupy Guarantee

99.86%

Accuracy, as described by Entrupy

Financially backed. Not just an opinion.

Every Entrupy certificate of authentication is financially backed by Entrupy. That means the verdict on your piece isn’t only a scan and a piece of paper — a real company stands behind it with real money. That is the peace of mind you’re paying for.

Service area

Mobile only, by appointment only

Authentique NWA is a fully mobile service — there is no walk-in storefront. Every appointment is private and mobile: I come to you, at your home, your business, or your shop, anywhere in Northwest Arkansas. Fort Smith and Tulsa appointments are available too; just ask when you book.

Meet your authenticator

Hi, I’m Bo.

I’m Bo Dalton, based in Tontitown. The number-one question in luxury resale is always the same: “Is this real?” I started Authentique NWA so people around here could get that answered in person, by someone local who comes to them — instead of mailing a treasured piece across the country and hoping.

Found a piece at an estate sale or antique store and wondered ever since? Inherited one? About to buy or sell? Book an appointment and I’ll come to you — let’s find out together.

Questions

Before you book

How long does it take?

Most pieces come back in about 10 to 50 minutes, depending on the item and brand. You’re there for the scan, and you’ll have your result and certificate the same visit in most cases.

Do I have to mail my bag anywhere?

No. That’s the whole point of a local, mobile service. I come to you, your piece is scanned in person, in front of you, and it never leaves your sight — nothing is shipped to Entrupy or anywhere else.

What do I get?

A verdict — authentic or not — and an Entrupy certificate of authentication, included in the price and financially backed by Entrupy. The certificate is what you show a buyer, a shop, or keep with the piece for your own records.

Does it tell me what my piece is worth?

No — authentication and appraisal are different things. This answers “is it real?” It doesn’t put a dollar value on it. Knowing it’s genuine is usually the first step before any valuation anyway.

Can older or vintage pieces be authenticated?

Often, yes — antique-store and estate finds are some of the most satisfying pieces to check, because the price you paid proves nothing either way. A few pieces can come back inconclusive; if that happens, I’ll tell you plainly rather than guess.

Where does the appointment happen?

At your place — your home, your business, or your shop. Authentique NWA is mobile by appointment only, so I always come to you. There’s no walk-in location to visit — the appointment comes to you.

I run a shop. Can you come to us?

Yes — that’s the whole model. Every appointment is mobile: I come to pawn shops, boutiques, resale stores, and salons across NWA, Fort Smith, and Tulsa. Mention your shop in the booking notes and we’ll set it up.
