Dior Bobby entered the record in 2020: soft half-moon hobo with curved flap, in supple box calfskin, with gold-toned cd hardware and the magnetic flap.
The 2020 hobo named for Christian Dior's beloved dog Bobby - the gentlest origin story in the file.
The model has remained in the maison's catalog across eras; this file anchors on its documented history and makes no claims about current lineups or prices, which is why it reads the same in ten years.
The full collector's file for this model, era details, and the authentication walk-through are on the writing schedule; the record above is permanent.
A Dior date code dates and places the bag; it authenticates nothing, and counterfeits carry correct-format codes. Dior issues no standalone authenticity card for its bags, so a listing leading with the certificate is selling paper, not provenance - the paper card carries the style number, which is not a date and not a verdict. Pieces made before about 1997 carry no code at all, and absence on true early production is normal. For any serious purchase, route through a platform authentication program.
