30 Montaigne: real vs fake
The 30 Montaigne is Dior's smooth, structured box-calf bag, where all the attention goes to the antique-gold "CD" clasp and the cleanliness of the edge paint. The model's minimalism doesn't forgive blurry logo casting or crooked edges. LegitCheck AI helps you verify the clasp, leather and edges from photos in about a minute.
What to check on the 30 Montaigne
Model-specific zones – on top of the brand-level signs.
Antique-gold "CD" clasp
The large "CD" clasp is cast crisply, with correctly shaped, proportioned letters and an even antique-gold finish. Blurry, light or shiny-yellow "CD" casting is the model's main red flag.
Smooth box calfskin
The body is smooth box calf: even grain, clean edges and a structure that holds its shape. Wrinkled, loose or plasticky-shiny leather gives away a replica.
Edge paint
The leather edges are painted evenly, in a thin, neat line, with no blobs or cracking. Thick, uneven or peeling edge paint is incompatible with an authentic bag.
Christian Dior heat-stamp
Inside sits a crisp, deep "Christian Dior" and "Made in Italy" stamp. Shallow, floating letters or a distorted font are typical of fakes.
Leather tag and stitching
The interior leather tag carries a heat-stamped code; judge the depth and crispness of the stamp and the evenness of the stitching, not a "correct" code format. Wandering stitches are a warning sign.

The "CD" clasp: on an authentic bag it is cast crisply, with correctly proportioned letters and an even antique-gold finish. Blurry, light or bright-yellow casting is the main replica tell.
How can I judge box-calf leather quality from photos?
Genuine box calf is smooth, with even grain and clean edges, and the body holds its shape. A loose, wrinkled or plasticky-shiny surface is a warning sign.
