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.

Can you please post a photo of the date code behind the interior tag, as well as pictures of the rest of the bag from different angles? Thanks.
Thank you for your quick response, my seller actually refuse to disclose the datecode, she told me it was 2015.
After the bag was delivered, the datecode shows that it was made in 2014 instead :(

I believe this is authentic. Maybe the seller thought it was made in 2015, which may be when she bought it (?).

Her customer service standards don't seem great, though. I would refuse to buy a preowned bag from someone who will not share that photo with me.

Dior made several different Saddle bags. It was very popular, and was released in evening bags, key pouches, belt bags, etc. The one that you posted pictures of is not the same size as the one that is shown here from Xupes.
I am sorry for disturbing you again. I thought I found it out. But I am not sure about the strap, the image's quality is quite poor.

This makes a bit more sense now. I was wondering why there was a glue stain where the strap used to be attached on your version. Maybe the strap was damaged and the leather piece that attached the strap was removed too, although it left a brown stain.

Dear Averagejoe,
I purchased this bag from Vestiaire Collective through their direct shipping policy. I had concerns about the authenticity but their policy to re-check the item is the following: "If, after being inspected by our experts, the item is found to conform to the brand's criteria, it will be re-listed for sale on Vestiaire Collective.
Otherwise, it will be permanently removed from sale and stored for 6 months before being destroyed"

This means in either way, I will loose the bag....

Would you be so kind to take a look at it.
There is no (or no more) inside gold stamp of 'christian Dior' but if I look closely I still see a bit of engraving. Tried to capture that on photo, but hard.

Thank you so much and enjoy your day

Hi, please help me to authenticate this vintage, ostrich double saddle bag. It doesn't have a serial number ( I have see some with and some without online) so I'm trying to confirm if it's genuine or not.

Dear Averagejoe,

I recently posted on here but it might've been missed so I'm trying my luck again. I'm new to Dior and recently put in a deposit for this Dior shoulder bag. After looking at the photos sent by the seller carefully, I noticed one odd stitching on the tag label and I am now very worried that the bag may not be authentic. Please help me figure out if this bag is authentic or not so that I don't end up paying the full amount before it's too late, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advance and have a great day. :)
