Just my 2 cents on this as an Italian who does live in Italy.
I have met and have heard of some women who manage to receive (or buy on credit ) a huge amount of very expensive presents ( be it bags, shoes, etc) from their beau...the "extras" often are sold on to friends or other people. Could be that the bags come the from one person or from two or three friends who are lucky enough to receive these presents.:presents
I know of one person who managed to have over 200 pairs of designer shoes paid for...after a couple of months she would sell them, some of them were unworn.


the lady must be rich....i know some japanese people who buy second grade bags from boutiques for a much cheaper price and resell them...they say it is factory second, unless you look very close for the damaged area, you wont easily find one....i dont believe that she gets it as a present. i do own more than 15 lady dior bags now and if i started to sell it, people may not believe it.....but as far as the bag i received from this lady, it looked brand new and it was authentic..so i sort of trusted her...i really dont know....lets wait and see...it seems she gets a lot os money out os it...but my bag came for only 890usd though. it is a lady dior in metallic golden colour, which is rare but it came for a low price.

I wonder where all these bags come from then? I looks liked she keeps on receiving presents that she doesn't like. Or is she a celebrity being showered with fancy bags? I am really curious now...
 
Some of your close-up pictures are a bit blurry, and the seller's pictures are not close enough. I would like to compare the finish on the patent leather between both pumps.

The other details look fine so far, save the imbalanced proportioning between both of the black pumps from the rear view. You can see that the curvey serpent part is done differently on both pumps. I;m not sure if this is an indication of being a fake, since every once in a while, a crafter isn't careful, but it is certainly making me doubt the authenticity.

The soles of both shoes ahould have darkened with wear since they are made of a tanned hide similar, but I can't tell if there is water-damage or a patina on the soles of the black shoes (it looks more like dirt and blackening to me). If the bottom is wearing like a natural hide, then your shoes should be authentic.

I want to add that differences between similar pairs of shoes does not mean that one of them are fake. There is sometimes variation among products, and it may relate to the time of manufacture.

Thank you so so much I am for now relieved the shoes do not look as bad as I thought first! I will post some more pictures soon, am just not at home at the moment.

Could someone in the meantime PLEASE authenticate this Dior Double Gaucho? Thank you so so much I appreciate your help totally, THANK YOU!

I've looked and none of our Lady Diors have the misaligned stitching or mismatched inside leather tag. This is so very odd. Unfortunately I don't have access to a purple patent one so I can't compare like with like.
Thanks for getting back to me on this. It is indeed a bit odd, but the other details seem fine to me, I found this thread that another TPFer has the same bag, I am not sure if it is of the exact same color, seems like it, I would try asking her about the tag.
