Originally created by the house of Dior for Princess Diana, this quilted classic has a charm on the handle that spells out "Dior." Although the bag comes in different shapes and fabrics, you can help to spot an authentic version by looking at the charm: The letter "D" of Dior is much smaller, and all of the letters should be capitalized.
