    To tell a vintage Dior, check to see if the bag has a date code tag inside. Dior introduced its date coding system in the late 1990s, so if your bag lacks a date code, it is possibly vintage.

For example, 0917 would indicate a production date of January 1997.

If your bag is at least 20 years old, it is vintage. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Dior bags.
