At Isola Malta, our commitment to authenticity is not just a promise, it’s a principle we live by. Each product that graces our shelves carries with it an assurance of genuine quality, a testament to our dedication to upholding the highest standards of authenticity. Our policy is independent of brand endorsements, rooted deeply in our own rigorous standards. This dedication sets us apart and ensures that our customers receive nothing but the best.
Verification Process
Our verification process is meticulous and thorough. Every item is examined through a multi-step process. We harness the power of advanced technology, including machine learning, to assess product risks and verify embedded technologies. This blend of human expertise and technological innovation forms the backbone of our verification system.
Product Condition Standards
We are uncompromising in our standards. Only new, never-worn items are listed for sale, adhering strictly to the specific product categories of Isola Malta. This ensures that our customers receive products in pristine condition every time.
Packaging Verification
The authenticity of a product extends to its packaging. We rigorously check the original packaging and its condition, recognizing its importance in the verification process. This step is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the product from its source to our customers.
Accessories and Add-ons Check
Every item comes complete with its full list of accessories and add-ons, mirroring the retail purchase experience. This comprehensive check ensures that our customers enjoy the full value and experience of their purchase.
Experience and Data Utilization
Our verification standards bring a wealth of cumulative experience to the table, backed by a history of numerous items inspected. We utilise a dynamic database, regularly updated, to identify elements that don’t meet Isola Malta’s stringent standards.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is the final, critical step in our process. In our QA stage, we meticulously ensure that each product not only meets but exceeds our high standards, safeguarding the trust our customers place in us.
Commitment to Fight Counterfeits
We acknowledge the pervasive issue of counterfeits in the market. Isola Malta is at the forefront of combating this issue, continuously refining our process to reject counterfeit products, thereby enhancing the customer purchase experience.

Every team member at Isola Malta is thoroughly trained and aligned with our authenticity policy. We regularly review and update our policy to adapt to new market challenges and changes.
Our Customer Assurance
We offer an unequivocal guarantee: if you discover that an item you’ve purchased from us is not authentic, we pledge to rectify the situation. This promise extends up to 14 days after the item has been delivered. Our goal is not just to sell products, but to build lasting trust and provide peace of mind.
Steps We Take for Resolution
- Prompt Response: Upon receiving a claim of inauthenticity, our team will act swiftly to address the concern.
- Verification Review: We will conduct a thorough re-examination of the item in question to assess its authenticity.
- Resolution Options: If the item is found to be inauthentic, we offer various resolution options, including a full refund, store credit, or a replacement with a genuine item, depending on the customer’s preference.

This guarantee underlines our commitment to accountability and customer satisfaction. We recognise the importance of trust in our relationship with our customers, and we are dedicated to upholding it by ensuring the authenticity of every item and addressing any concerns promptly and fairly.
Strengthening Our Authentication Process
Every experience, including the rare instances of oversight, is an opportunity for us to strengthen our authentication process. We continually invest in enhancing our technology and refining our methods to ensure that our customers receive only genuine, high-quality products.
Ensuring Return Integrity
In order to uphold the integrity of our return and resolution process, it is essential that the goods in question remain in their original, unworn condition and are returned in their original packaging. This requirement is crucial for several reasons:
- Maintaining Product Condition: The condition of the item is paramount in determining its authenticity and value. Unworn items in their original packaging are in the best state for re-examination.
- Accurate Assessment: To ensure a fair and thorough assessment upon return, the product must be in the same condition as when it was initially verified and sold.
- Process Efficiency: Handling returns that adhere to our guidelines streamlines the verification review process, allowing for a quicker resolution for our customers.
- Future Sale Integrity: This policy also ensures that, if an item is indeed authentic and simply returned, it can be resold without compromising our standards for quality and authenticity.
By implementing such a comprehensive authenticity policy, Isola Malta assures its customers of the integrity and quality of its products, mirroring the commitment shown by renowned platforms like StockX in their verification process. Our dedication to authenticity is not just about selling products; it’s about building trust and delivering excellence.
