No problem

The lady dior first came out around 1995 as in October 2005 they released the 10th anniversary bag and the earliest dior bag that I have seen with a serial number is 1995/1996 so if a bag is pre this date then there will be no serial number/date code, just the stamped tag. Also some of the real early ones may not have had serials either.

The bag itself in question I can't say anything is jumping out concerning me other than the fact that if it is meant to be 2002 then there should be a serial number/date code which leads me to believe that it is much older than stated and the wrong authenticity card was both sent and displayed in the auction. Maybe she thought people would prefer to see an authenticity card with it and threw any old card in

Judging by the zipper pull, tag style etc I suspect this is an older vintage bag therefore some characteristics are not going to be exactly the same as modern day lady dior's.

And I also believe the red lady dior you posted Nat is genuine

Whew! What a great response Chic...I was planning to type something similar...maybe great minds do think alike...hehe....j/k.

I am not sure what to think about this Lady Dior either. The screws seem good, tag has contrasting top stitch and so forth. With regards to the inner tag, it is also stitched on all four sides, which would indicate it is possibly a newer bag...hmmm. I believe most of the older Dior "Lady Dior" bags that I have seen do not have the stitching upon all four edges of the inner tag; just a thought.

It does appear the authenticity card may have not come with the bag originally. I wonder if the owner could telephone the Dior store listed upon the back of the authenticity card and confirm what style bag actually corresponds with it or request any information possible?

Could the owner tell us what the brand of zipper is utilized within the bag...if you look upon the backside of the metal zipper used to close the bag it should be engraved with something.

Well, best wishes and happy holidays!

That is true in regards to the tag but then I had an old fuschia pink wool lady dior which was from 1997 (I think, have to stretch the memory here) but definitely in the 90's and it was fully stitched as the newer tags are.

I wouldn't mind betting this is an older one too:

From reading different posts and Dior guides, the markings and features seem correct, however, the paperwork seems a little off. As you will see in the photos, the text printed on the envelope is off-centered and the text "Christian Dior" is printed crooked on the silver authenticity card. Also, the card is not the same one as posted in the photos for the auction listing (please refer to the first/gallery photo of the auction). The zipper pull of the interior pocket has three C's in the shape of a pyramid. On the back of the interior leather Christian Dior tag the words "Made in Italy" are very faintly stamped (just an impression - no ink. I almost missed it). Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Can you do me a favour and tell me if it has stitching on the inside of the handles, thanks

Better yet can you post a pic of the inside handles.

Sorry to keep harping on but I just found this, the bag that is definitely authentic and authenticated in an earlier post was this one, this bag is from 1999 so it seems the tags with stitching on all sides can be dated back quite some time . I think it is dependant upon the collection:

Hello ! I'm new to this forum and hope I'm posting my question correctly. I have been hunting for the large Dior Saddle Bag all over the place and found a lot of fakes. Thanks to a lof of helpful hints and comments, I was able to detect some quickly.
But on this one, I'm not sure at all. The coin looks genuine, although it is hard to see the 'dots' clearly, or Dior's face.

Anybody out there who can help ? I really, really love this bag !

Thanks, appreciate your help. Hiiri

Hello Hiiri and a warm welcome to the forum! the bag looks good in general but the leather seems awful shiny and kind of dry plus the seller didnt provide close up of Mr Dior`s face and the front of interior tag...i would ask for those two pics , better safe than sorry with such a price tag on this one

First off, THANK YOU everyone for your time and support with my Lady Dior issue! I'm so glad I have the tPF family! When asked about the authentication card discrepancy, the Seller told me she accidently sent the one for her Dior gaucho bag and will be mailing me the correct one. She did not confirm the year of the Lady Dior.

I've attached more photos as reference. The first two are of the stitching of the handles. And the third I've tried to show the interior pocket zipper - there are three Cs in a circle. Please feel free to forward your thoughts. Thanks bunches!
