How do I read a Dior date stamp?

How do I read a Dior date stamp?
Knowing how to read a Dior stamp can help with assessing the authenticity of your Dior handbag. The last four digits on 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. For example, if your date code ends with 1109, then that would mean the time of manufacture was October 2019. For a number of years, Louis Vuitton employed a similar system on its coveted bags but this has since changed.
