Christian Dior Women's blazer - trying to date/authenticate

Hi Everybody! I'm new to the forum Nd fascinated by how much you guys know about vintage fashion!!

I acquired this Christian Dior blazer. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what era it may be from?

Also, does anyone have an idea as to whether it is authentic or not. The fit and tailoring is very nice. There is a fabric composition label at the neck but no other labels on the item at all.
The buttons seem slightly out of place so I'm figuring they may not be the original buttons.
The lining of the blazer seems synthetic. The material of the blazer definitely has wool I'm it, I would say a wool mix.

Any insight appreciated
X Grace

Thanks for the reply Victoria. The label says as far as I can read, because the kast character is faint. "COLLECTION : 214" or maybe "Collection: 21A"

I'd love to know what kind of era it's from or which designer would have been in the house at that time.
 
I associate these hand written labels with the 90s and they usually had a two digit year and then a letter for the season so A would be for autumn. That could mean that 21A is 2021 Autumn but the style of this jacket or the label itself doesn’t look like 2021.
Let’s see what others think
 
Thanks Victoria, it could be collection: 91A
The writing is kind of looped and then slightly faded as well so it's difficult to make out. The first picture is the clearest with ghe writing
