Sparrow took the art world by storm in the summer of 2014 with the opening of her fully stocked felt Cornershop installation in London’s East End. Since then, her work has been shown internationally in galleries and at art fairs, including Art Basel, Scope Miami and the New York Affordable Art Fair.

    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. Earlier-dated bags will have their codes in XX-YYYY. The first and third "Y" characters indicate the month of production, and the second and fourth correspond to the production year. For example, 0917 would indicate a production date of January 1997. On more recent bags, the date code will be in an XX-XX-YYYY format, but you can still find the date in the last four characters using the same method. If your bag is at least 20 years old, it is vintage. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Dior bags.
