How to Spot a Fake Dior Bag – The Official Guide

Last Updated on June 2, 2024 by Ch David

• You have a Dior bag
• And you’re not sure if it’s authentic

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

Answer: Look at the label inside the bag — it’ll easily tell if your Dior bag is real. Fakes 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.
