DIOR Expert Guide: How To Spot Fake Dior Bags (2024)

Last Updated on April 8, 2024 by Ch David

Clicking here, you’ve probably:

• Got a Dior bag (or shoulder bag/handbag)
• And you’re not sure if it’s authentic
• So you’re looking to verify it

Our expert Dior bag authenticators are here to help. Read this guide and compare your bag to our side-by-side images of real and fake bags to check yours.

How to know if your Dior Bag is real

Professional authenticators recommend looking at the label inside the bag. Fake Dior bags often have the wrong thickness for their text and stitching.

1. Interior label

• Authentic:
  • Same amount of space between each character.
  • Thicker “MADE IN ITLY” print.
• Fake:
  • Too much space between the letters in “Dior”.
  • “MADE IN ITALY” is too thin.

Is it too hard? Reach out to our expert Dior authenticators:

2. Outer logo

You’ll find this engraving on models like the Dior Book Tote.

• Authentic: Thicker letters. Also placed closer to each other.
• Fake: “PARIS” is too thin — and there’s too much space between the letters.

3. Handler

• Authentic: Thick and short threads.
• Fake: Thinner and longer stitches.

Note how the fake threads are not dense enough. The real ones are more consistent.

A quick mention:

• The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
• The next few steps are still reliable methods…
• … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

4. Stitching

• Authentic:
  1. Thicker, shorter threads.
  2. The threads are bigger.
• Fake:
  1. Thinner and longer stitches.
  2. Smaller stitches compared to the authentic.

5. Oblique pattern

Used for this step is the Dior Saddle bag.

• Authentic: The dot in “i” is closer to the vertical leg.
• Fake: Too much space between the dot and the letter “i”.

6. Carbines

• Authentic: Thicker letters. They’re fit deeper into the metal.
• Fake: Letters are too thin — especially the dot in “i”.

7. Interior

• Authentic: Stitching is thicker compared to the replica.
• Fake: Thinner stitches.

8. Shape

We’ll use the Lady Dior as reference for this step.

• Authentic: Wider than the fake.
• Fake: Narrower shape.

9. Keychain

• Authentic: “CD” is deeper into the metal, hence why it looks thicker.
• Fake: Thinner “CD” engraving.

10. Teeth

• Authentic: Smoother, less yellow teeth.
• Fake: Very shiny and golden teeth.

11. Box

• Authentic: Thicker letters — none of them are scratched.
• Fake: Scratched “D” and thinner letters.

Authentic letters should be 100% filled with paint.
