Authentication Tips

[glamournewbie]

Hi Everyone,

I just bought a Cristian Dior black calf 'Rebelle' suede shoulder bag from BlueFly.com I've never in my life bought such high brands so I'm sure I'm the perfect candidate for a scammer.

The handbag looks very nice (although I know some fakes are as well) and very well made, it even smells great BUT what can I look for to make sure it's not a fake??

The authenticity card DOES have some type of number above the date section as shown here by another member BUT the card is not filled out with any information.

Someone please advise - Thanks!

usually BlueFly has authentic merchandise but they did sell a few fakes in the past, so double checking would be advisable..authenticity card sounds real, btu to be absolutely sure please take a few pics of the bag ( authenticity card, inside tag form both sides ) and post it in authenticate this thread so that we can say for sure...fingers crossed!

Hello Nat,


Oh! That's right! The limited edition one's are black with white "Dior" upon them. Thank you so much and best wishes!

I also have a Dior authenticity card which isn't filled out with any numbers or anything. And I think somewhere in this forum (maybe it was at the Authenticiate this) someone said that sometimes there isn't any markings, but maybe you should do as ladies suggested and post some pics to that Authenticiate this -topic to be sure

yep quite often the card will not be filled out, dior sydney always stamp theirs, orlando outlet did not - seeing a blank one is more common than a filled out one

DIOR JEANNE BAG AUTHENTICATION QUICK TIPS!

p.s. I am terribly sorry about the watermark all over my pics, but I have had my picture's stolen twice prior (and one set of the pics had just BeautifulBasics once across them)...the person had carefully taken it out and used the pics.

best wishes!

To the best of my knowledge, the Jeanne bag does not come with a limited edition inner tag...so, I think this is the main difference between an authentic and fake.
