Where can I do a Dior serial number check?

You can't do a Dior serial number check because Dior bags and other accessories created by the revered luxury brand have date codes rather than serial numbers. While it’s true that some online resources refer to this text as a serial number, it is instead an indication of where and when a product was made and is more commonly referred to as a date code.

Examine the Dior date code to ensure it consists of a series of two numbers, two letters and four additional numbers separated by dashes (the order and number of characters in the date codes on older accessories will differ slightly from those on newer items). The last four digits in a Dior date stamp indicate the month and year. The first and third digits represent the month, while the second and fourth digits represent the year. The letters in the date code refer to where the product was made. In order to assess authenticity, you can also look for imperfections in the stitching or irregular lettering when it comes to the appearance of the house’s logo on the item’s labels.
