TagTrue

TagTrue is a mobile + web AI-assisted vintage authentication and pricing app for buyers and resellers. Users snap photos of labels, stitching, hardware, fabric texture, and wear patterns; the app returns a confidence score, likely era/brand line, comparable sold prices, and red flags (repro tags, mismatched fonts, incorrect care labels). It also generates a shareable “proof card” sellers can attach to listings to reduce buyer skepticism. The MVP focuses on a few high-fraud categories (designer denim, band tees, leather jackets, handbags) and a limited set of brands where data is obtainable. Brutal reality: it won’t be perfect—counterfeiters evolve and some items require hands-on inspection. The business works if it saves time and prevents costly mistakes more often than it’s wrong, and if it builds trust signals that marketplaces and sellers actually adopt.
