Zippers: Other than the famous CD Girly handbags, Dior makes use of Lampo zippers on their handbags. Always check the zippers in the handbag for the Lampo logo. Sometimes you may must dig in and pull the zipper upside down and check the underside of the zipper. Beware: Some fakes also use Lampo zippers, but in the event that they are faked lampo zippers, they will usually not be of the same quality and detail as an authentic Lampo zipper. Meaning the logo might be cheaply etched in to the zipper, off-center or an incorrect font or logo style.

Christian Dior, as well as all top tier designers, manufacture their handbags with meticulous quality and care. But what lots of people forget is that the counterfeiters are also trying hard to reflect this near perfection. They spend limitless hours studying the authentic handbags to try to get every little detail correct in an try to fool the consumer. And sometimes they do. But they must cut corners somewhere, otherwise what would be the point of counterfeiting something? The idea is to make the same product faster and cheaper, but sell it as an original. Therefore the fakers spend the most time on the obvious details, but cut corners with some of the secondary details, namely the handbag accessories. This is where they think the buyer is most likely overlook their inferior work.

Christian Dior is made with superior craftsmanship and quality materials. For this reason they are always in high demand and low supply. And the counterfeiters love it. CD is one of the most heavily faked products in the fashion industry. But the fakers always lack the detail. They always leave a clue behind for the buyer to select up on before getting scammed. Some of those clues come from the smaller hardware details.

Zipper pull: The zipper pull is attached to the zipper. This is the mechanism that is used to pull open the zipper, and this feature usually has the handbags designer logo stamped somewhere on it. In Dior's case, on regular and double saddle bags, they use a metal "CD" zipper pull. The "C" and the "D" ought to be connected, but with no gaps between the letters. Lots of fakes have a zipper pull that has the correct CD, but between the letters is an indention, or a little gap in the metal. This is wrong. An authentic zipper pull will have a smooth flat top and bottom, with no indention or gaps.
