Dear fellow Dior enthusiasts,

It is always our pleasure to help with your authentication requests; however, there have been various cases where such requests are not accompanied by basic requisite information. To that end, nataliam1976, LaMissy and I have agreed on the following guidelines and tips to streamline the authentication process.


Authentication guidelines/tips

1. All eBay authentication requests should be posted in this format:

Item name:
Item number:
Seller ID:
Direct URL link:

This format is adopted from the Hermès authentication thread. It is the most efficient way of making a request because:

(a) the item name immediately alerts the one of us with the most expertise to attend to that particular type of item,
(b) the inclusion of the item number facilitates a search of the thread for previous instances where it may already have been authenticated, and
(c) the seller ID is useful where we know of reputable resellers on eBay that sell only authentic items.

All authentication requests for other online resellers should be posted in this format:

Item name:
Online reseller name:
Direct URL link:

All authentication requests must be formatted in one of the above ways otherwise they may not be entertained.

2. Authentication can only happen when there are plenty of clear, closeup photos of the item, the more the better.

In particular, items cannot be authenticated without clear, closeup photos of both sides of the inside leather tag for bags or, in the case of wallets and other small leather goods, the 'Christian Dior Paris' stamp on the inside as well as the production sequence stamp found behind one of the bill compartments or card slots.

In addition, photos of any relevant hardware should also be provided, the more the better. In the case of Gauchos, clear closeups of both sides of the coin medallion lying flat (not at an angle), the key and the buckles are needed. For Saddles, a straight-on frontal shot of the entire bag (not at an angle), clear closeups of both sides of the 'CD' links on the strap, and the dangling 'D' charm on the flap.

Sunglasses cannot be authenticated without clear closeups of the insides of both of the arms.

All photos should be taken in plenty of natural lighting (sunlight) without flash. Clear closeups may be obtained by using the macro mode (the icon of a flower) on a digital camera. Photos should not be resized below 800x600 resolution.

Authentication requests which comply with the formatting requirement in part 1 but which otherwise fail to include these photo requirements may not be entertained.

3. In most cases, unless there are dead giveaways and obvious red flags, jewellery cannot be authenticated, even with plenty of photos. This is to do with the nature of Dior jewellery. Please therefore understand that we may not be able to help you with a jewellery authentication request.

4. Patience is a virtue. Do not re-post your request repeatedly just because another person's request has been attended to before yours. This may be because at the time there was no one with the requisite expertise to authenticate your item; this does not mean you are being ignored.

5. Courtesy is also a virtue. Please and thank-you are basic manners and good forum etiquette.

Hello wonderful people, I was wondering if you could help me authenticate this medium lady dior I’m looking to buy off of Vestiare with the photos the seller has available. I screenshotted the photos and cropped them in hopes it’ll be easier for any of you to zoom in and out of. I have not asked for additional photos. I appreciate any help, thank you!! :smile:

Hello,
can someone authenticate this dior saddle? I never seen any of these online from 2006.
here is the link:

if you need more pictures, do let me know. Thank you.View attachment 6125428View attachment 6125429View attachment 6125430View attachment 6125432
The flap on this has been replaced by someone, so the bottom and interior is of an authentic bag, but the top flap is not from Dior. The D charm doesn't belong to this bag as well. The original was removed (as you can see from the seam on the leather strap above the charm) and replaced.
 
Sorry cannot authenticate without photos of the interior tag (front and back) and of the dustbag, guarantee card, and anything else that came with the bag.

I believe this is fake
 
Greetings Kind Authenticators!

I wonder if it's possible to authenticate this bag. I do not have access to better photos. To me, a concern is the lack of photos of serial number and the strap (for an ABC) does not seem to have the pin strap (where you add the extra pins/charms).

The auction is almost over. While I don't expect to receive an answer before the auction is over, if I wind up buying it and it looks fake, I can get out of the bid for a fee.

Thank you!

Hello, it's my first time in this forum. I bought this bag from 2001, but the seller doesn't know for sure the correct name of the bag collection because it is older. I would like to know if it's original. The seller, where I bought through Vinted, said it's a Dior Satchel 2001 bag. Trying to look for the name or model of the bag, I just thought it's from a 2001 Dior ad campaign model, and some trace of the same model in magazines...
