Thanks a lot!!

Manola, I'm sorry, I don't have the e-mail address for Fendi! But did you buy the bag from a US Seller? If yes, check out the Internet Fraud links below.

Also, contact your local post office or police in Finland, they may have some helpful suggestions.

You can report Fake Merchandise to eBay & file a Claim with PayPal as well:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...unterfeit.html
http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/paypal-protection.html

If you paid with a Credit Card, you can file a Claim with your Credit Card Company. (This is better than PayPal because PayPal has a Deductible for the Claim and has a Maximum Coverage of only $1000, or something close to that amount). There's usually a time limit for your Credit Card Claim (30-45 days), depending on the company. Give them a call, Good luck!

That bag is fake. I am almost positve everything that seller has on offer is also fake.

Fendi never made an all zucca B Bag.

Edited to add - there is a new all Zucca Bis bag though which is similar to the B bag but with the buckles on the side!

Real? If not, why? I would like to learn a little about authenticating Fendi bags.
Thanks!

They are both fake albeit better fakes than the usual.

The main difference is the leather. Compare to:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUTH-SOLD-OUT-...QQcmdZViewItem

and

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100-2006-Authe...QQcmdZViewItem

which are authentic versions of both bags. It shouldn't be hard to see the distinctive leather.

Price is also another giveaway. Aside from the fact that the seller is also selling a really bad fake MJ Stam.

andrearod · Jul 17th, 2006, 01:32 PM

The format of the hologram serial tag number is wrong. There should be a number; it's just not the right format.

olg4 · Jul 17th, 2006, 02:33 PM

andrea, the leather itself is so wrong.

andrearod · Jul 17th, 2006, 02:41 PM

thanks everyone! I'll keep trying!

Hi, I bought this bag about 2 years ago thinking it was authentic, but now I'm kinda scared it's a fake. Can anyone tell me if it's real or fake? Thanks
BTW I noticed alot of the other handbags had hologram tags. This bag doesn't have that. Is that a big sign it's fake?

P.S. Is the handle suppose to do that? -------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^

Greendrv · Jul 18th, 2006, 10:31 AM

MOMY,
I'm afraid that the thing that is giving away the fact that your bag is a fake IS the fact that the handle is doing that. Authentic Fendi baguettes use genuine leather handles, and the leather should not crinkle that way (the crinkle indicates it's pleather). I'm sorry!

Hi,

I'm a new member trying to learn about Fendi's... any chance this is real? The user feedback is so positive, I'm tempted to bid! He offered me a "second chance" for $131... should I get it? (Item #250007105876)
