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,

I understand costume jewellery is really hard to authenticate, but your opinion is still really appreciated. I have two items.
About the necklace, I don't think the aged brass is suppose to rub off with wear, but tell me if I'm wrong (I can always replate it)

I have just bought my dream bag, the Dior Saddle, on vinted. I have two days to return if the item is fake, so I wanted to ask the experts an opinion on it. Does it seem authentic to you?

Unfortunately… these are not authentic. A couple things - the post on the CD should be right in the middle of the straight line of the ‘D’ causing the distance between CD and J’ADIOR to be too small, the back piece of the J’ADIOR side - the ‘D’ and ‘I’ are not supposed to be flush with the letters. The bee side of the set… has more issues. The bee itself - wings, head, legs are all incorrect. The stinger in yours is basically an oval with lines on it, the authentic is oval ish but the lines are much deeper grooves that changes the smooth edges to visible dips. The stinger in yours also looks like a second piece on top of the metal where the in the authentic, it’s the same piece of metal.
Sorry, but I’m near 99.9% sure that you were duped :(

Ok no lie, this looks really really good, but not authentic. Paperwork looks legit if you don’t read all of it. On the receipt - top left corner address is not the right address but the phone number right below is a legit Dior phone number. The address is also different from the one on the bottom of the receipt. The phone number on the very bottom is not a real number associated with Dior. Authentication card info is correct looking but the card itself looks weird to me (I don’t have any of mine on me right now so I can only base off memory). Also, the company changed internal systems so this version of receipts haven’t been used in at least 6 months. I’m going to overlook the front strap thing (the one not connected to the ‘D’) but the connection point is sloppy but it could be the lighting in the photo. The biggest indicator would be the actual flap over portion is way too soft, you wouldn’t be able to open the bag like this, it’s so rigid it stays in that curved shape even when you open it. In the authentic, the top flap is actually stitched to the outside of the bag, not on the inside, not as one piece. If you take a photo of the bag and the bag fully open (but of the full bag, not just interior shots) I could probably tell you with certainty. Personally, I would return it.

Hi!

I would appreciate if someone could help me with this one.


Item name: Christian Dior Saddle Bag Black Ultramatte Calfskin with Strap
Item number: 255129811246
Seller ID: iqrahvssain
Direct URL link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Christia...p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
No!!!! Don’t get this one!!! This photos is smooth “calfskin” with black hardware. The ultra matte is a matte finish calfskin, it feels almost a little powdery. And the strap in the listing… doesn’t exist. Ultra matte hardware never goes on blue oblique. Save your money!!!
 
Hi @averagejoe, I am keeping the DIOR saddle bag you helped me authenticate recently. :smile: Now I am looking for a strap to go with it. Can you please help authenticate this Dior strap? Thank you in advance.

This strap looks like it came off of another bag. It could actually be Dior but it isn’t sold this way. D Fence is also the name of a style of belts
