Bobby Medium: real vs fake
The Bobby Medium is Dior's soft saddle-shaped bag on a long chain-and-leather strap, where the "CD" twist clasp and the cleanliness of the stitching along the curved flap play the leading roles. A soft construction doesn't excuse imprecise lines, and replicas often drift right here. LegitCheck AI checks the clasp, stitching and strap from photos in a minute.
What to check on the Bobby Medium
Model-specific zones – on top of the brand-level signs.
"CD" twist clasp
The turning "CD" clasp is cast crisply, with correctly shaped letters and even plating, and the twist mechanism sits with no visible play. Blurry casting or visible play in the clasp is a red flag.
Stitching along the curved flap
The stitching runs evenly along the flap's curve, with consistent pitch and no skips. Wandering stitches or a puckered, wavy flap seam gives away a replica.
Chain-and-leather strap
The removable strap pairs a metal chain with a leather insert: even-toned links and leather with neatly painted edges. Crooked links or flaking chain plating are incompatible with an authentic bag.
Christian Dior heat-stamp
Inside sits a crisp "Christian Dior" and "Made in Italy" stamp. Shallow or uneven letters and a distorted font are typical of fakes.
Leather tag and edges
The interior leather tag carries a heat-stamped code; judge the stamp depth and how neatly the edges are painted around the whole perimeter, without decoding the code format.

FAQ
How do I check the "CD" twist clasp on the Bobby?
The "CD" letters should be crisply cast and correctly shaped, the plating even, and the twist mechanism should sit with no visible play. Blurry casting or a clasp with a visible gap is a replica sign.
What should I look at on the Bobby Medium flap?
The stitching along the curve: on an authentic bag it is even, consistently pitched and skip-free. A wavy or puckered flap seam is a warning sign.
