Dior,
bags and the wardrobe around them.
Handbags led by the Lady Dior, alongside a real run of ready to wear, outerwear and eyewear. Checked in house before listing.
Currently holding handbags, ready to wear and outerwear, with wallets and eyewear. Browsing opens San Diego Jewelry Buyers, my own store, which is where the listings live.
Dior available today
Dior is the one house here where the clothes are as much of the story as the bags. What comes through is as often a coat or a skirt as it is a Lady Dior, and the ready to wear is consistently underpriced on resale.
On the bag side the cannage quilting and the charms are where the authentication lives, and both are reproduced badly far more often than they are reproduced well.
What we look at on a Dior.
Cannage and its alignment
The quilting should be even and correctly proportioned for the model and size, and it should meet cleanly at the seams.
Charms and hardware
The D.I.O.R. letter charms have a specific weight, finish and hanging order. Plating quality is checked alongside them.
Labels and construction
On ready to wear, the label, the size tag and the finishing inside the garment say more than the exterior does.
If you have a Dior piece and you are not sure what it is, bring it to 907 Sixth Ave. We will tell you either way, free, whether or not you want to sell it.
Straight, not flattering.
- The Lady Dior and the reissued Saddle are the strongest names.
- Ready to wear resells well below its quality, which makes it the value buy here.
- Eyewear is affordable and pleasant rather than an investment.
The ones I get asked.
- Do you buy Dior?
- Yes. Bags, ready to wear and accessories. Send photos or bring it to 907 6th Ave for a free evaluation.
- How do you authenticate a Lady Dior?
- The cannage quilting and how it meets at the seams, the weight, finish and order of the D.I.O.R. charms, and the interior construction and labelling.
