  In this guide we have illustrated some details about on ebay and other domains that will help you weed out the fakes. This is in no way a conclusive or complete guide to every detail about Dior, but it has enough information to highly increase you chances of spotting the fake CD handbags. Combining some of these brand specific points with the universal tells we have listed should help keep you insulated from many of the fake CD handbags in the open market.
Note: Many of the images we show to highlight a specific tell, also have another tell within the same photo. When this occurs we will try to point out the secondary tell also. However, on occasion we may miss some of the secondary tells in the photos. So we encourage you the reader to inspect the images for other tells to help increase your spotting skills.
We recommmend that you read our tutorial Spot Fake Handbags first, to learn the universal tips essential to build a foundation for spotting fake handbag tells. Then reinforce that foundation with the brand specific tells we highlight here.

  As we get more details we will add them. Also, if you the reader have anything else to add, please email it to us, we will be glad to add it to the site, info@spotfakehandbags.com. If we use your tip we will refrence you and add your web/blog link if applicable.

2. Hardware: Concerning the metal piece connecting the side "C" and "D", the Christian dior logo should be stamped, or etched into the piece. The logo should be clear and crisp and adhere to the standard Christian Dior font sizes. Also, there should be no screws seen anywhere within this metal accent. Often times, lower quality fakes will implement screws into the piece. Screws anywhere should be an automatic red flag.

• On an authentic piece, the "C" does not move. The "D" does move back and forth.
However, some fakes may have movement on both the "C" and the "D".

Below is an image of an authentic CD connecting piece:







Concerning the "D": The font should always be the correct Christian Dior font.

Below is an image of a real vs. fake Dior hanging "D":

Note: The font on the fake Dior D (right), is incorrect. Also, on the fake "D", the CD engraved on the "D" is a lower quality, less clear impression. Furthermore, the metal the fake "D" is constructed of is not the aged metallic look that is signature Dior. The fake metal is a much more shiny, cheap looking metal (more on this below).

Snaps/buttons:
Christian Dior hardware should be rustic, with a vintage/aged appearance. It should not be shiny, or cheap looking. There should not be writing on the snaps/buttons.

Below is an image of real Dior hardware snaps vs. fake snaps:

Note: Notice the aged look of the hardware.

R. Cochet coin:
An authentic Dior Cochet coin should have an indentation that goes down the side of the face upon the cheek. The words "R. Cochet" should be tucked right above the suit jacket's collar edge. An authentic Dior Cochet coin should be highly detailed.
Below is an image of an authentic Dior Cochet coin:

Note: Notice the fine detail in the wrinkles, the ears, cheeks etc. The cheek should always be shaded by the cheeckbone, there should be detail around all of the profile features, the nose, nostrils, the lips, chin, eyes, eyebrows. The ear will be very detailed, as well as the tie and the collar of the suit. All points should be finely detailed. The facial feature, or the expression, should also be inspected. The expression on an authentic Cochet coin is one of a restrained smirk. It is not an outright smile. It looks like the man is amused, but he has not been captured in a full smile.







Below is an image of a fake Dior Cochet coin:

Note: Notice the lack of indentation on the cheek, and the overall lack of quality and details. The level of detail is nowhere near that of the real coin (above). Pick out any area on the fake and compare it to the authentic Cochet and you will see an obvious amount of lacking detail. And it is not only the detail that is a problem, the expression on the man in the fake coin is also wrong. In the fake coin, he looks to be engaged in full, open mouthed laughter. Much different from that of the restrained smirk of the man of the real Cochet coin.

1947 coin: The Dior 1947 coin should be highly detailed.

Lining: Christian Dior has a very unique lining with some very specific characteristics.

• First, the letter “D” will always appear to be in a constant state of ascension. It will be seen traveling from the bottom left side towards the top right. [inner pockets may not have this ascending D feature]. However, the interior pocket when zipped up may adhere to the “D” ascension.

Below is an image of real Dior lining: The picture is rather dark, but you can clearly see the "D" moving up and to the right.
