Good evening, Jamie,
Thank you for submitting photographs to Mearto for appraisal.
Vintage handbags are one of the hottest areas of the market and Dior is a name that stands the test of time. Based on the information and photographs you've provided, your red alligator shoulder bag is similar to several that have sold in excess of $4,000; however, the worn condition of yours negatively impacts the value.
I hope this information is useful to you. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you for using Mearto.
Hi Jamie,
I have not found it among my Dior references, which only suggests that it was not one of their more popular or iconic lines. I am fairly confident that it is from the late 60s/early 70s, based on stylistic elements.
Thank you. Can you tell me approximately the manufacture date or what collection or line it’s from?
