The line

Second life is not a loophole.

This site exists because destruction is often the only official ending for a fake. We offer another ending only when it does not continue the fraud.

If it can still pass as the original, it is not finished.

We will

• Teach authentication as literacy, not as a shopping hack.
• Work from seized lots, brand-authorized scrap, or items a person already owns and no longer wants to keep as a fake.
• Remove every mark that claims to be another maker.
• Label remakes as remakes.

We will not

• Restore a counterfeit so it can be worn or sold as authentic.
• Publish “how to make it look real” notes.
• Source fresh fakes to feed the workshop.
• Ignore a rights holder who asks for destruction instead of remake.
