I found this on ebay it looks real:

I saw this on Ebay too i also agree that its genuine, the only difference is the fact that the Dior plate is square instead of round. [/b][/quote]
Yeah ia agree. One of the vintage Dior clutches I bought a couple of months ago had the same Dior logo in that square shape

can someone tell me if this bag is fake? it's supposed to be vintage and i like it, for some reason. any advice would be appreciated.

Agree with OriginalGucciGirl I've seen lots of vintage Dior bags with that monogram logo and I believe that bag is real. I also know a lot of vintage Dior bags had that style CD initial as well.
Also as mentioned earlier, the bag does seem very used so it looks very genuine to me.

OriginalGucciGirl.... I have a Dior honeycomb clutch in brown (so mine's a different colour than yours), and I just compared the photos of your bag to mine (i know mine is authentic because it's was my mom's ). The pattern looks fine... as does the button on the buckle and the Dior plate. Mine however is lined in a smooth leathery material though... but I think it does make sense that yours isn't because it's a much bigger bag than my clutch. I actually think your bag is real, from the pictures at least

i think so too...looks like a very authentic seventies style...not really my taste...but you got a great price and i think you got a real one...

I believe designers make more than one copy of a bag, for specs, accuracy, etc. I wonder as the bottom stitching on the brown edges of my bag doesnt line up as i would have expected (from crafstmanship perspective) i wonder if this bag was a sample, or seconds?

Would you not agree that as these bags were very expensive in those day, and only a certain group could afford to buy them(not like nowadays) that it could have been sold with the imperfections as such?

I no longer believe that this bag is a fake, but believe as the bottom edging isnt meeting, that it might be a sample bag or seconds, because i dont know whether Christian Dior would have been so rubbish as prefecting every angle on their products.

What does the description say? Its hard to tell from 1 photo, can you get more photos from different angles? Does the auction say Authentic, genuine?

I wouldn't trust anything regarding LV on Ebay, they are the most copied bags ive ever come across.

Very fake. Look how the symbols are alligned!

I'm having a hard time with this one.. :

I'd say it's fake because the "Cabas Piano" (which I guess this bag is supposed to be) has the patches down the sides.. but I'm not totally sure.. anyone?

Excuse me for the large pics by the way

^i think fake...it looks very poorly constructed look how the thread is all broken around the cowhide on the indside

I wasn't out to buy it actually , someone already owns it and asked me to verify it's authenticity
