I am now kicking myself that I can't remember where I keep the card.... of course worst comes worst I'll just keep the bag and keep using it, well is not worst because I do love the bag. if you can enlighten me with your advice would be greatly appreciated

You don't necessarily need the ID card as that is not what makes the bag authentic. As long as you have the hologram and leather serial strip in place, and you take lots of photos of the bag on the inside and outside, we would be able to authenticate it.

I have one more from there that I am wondering about: http://www.yoogiscloset.com/fendi-tobacco-zucca-canvas-small-bowler-bag.aspx#. What do you think of this one? Thank you!

I can't give an opinion on this one either...

There is no one item to looks for IRL that I can recommend. I have never seen a bag like this from FENDI, but that does not mean it isn't real either....it is a vintage bag from 2003/4 if the hologram # is correct....

Thank You Baglady.1 -- I did purchase this bag because it feels too good to not be authentic. Here are a few more pictures for you to look at. I apologize I forgot to take a photo of the back side of the interior zipper head but, it does have the fendi fs on the back. Do you (or anybody) know the name of this bag? Any recommendations for cleaning and restoring color along the seams were worn?? Thank You.

Do you have a pic of the hologram? There's is something that really bugs me about this bag...the hologram might confirm...

Hi accio sacculus -- the picture of both sides of the tag are in post# 1684 on the previous page - from yesterday. If you need a different picture I can take that for you.

I think it is authentic. The soft leather is Nappa (Lamb) and the serial # strip & hologram confirm that it is from the 2003 season. Great Find!

Thank You so much. Any idea what the name of this bag is and the color(name)?? Does Fendi name their bags?

No idea, have never seen this one before. You might want to PM our member FENDILOVER. She works for FENDI and might know....

Need clear, close up pics of the hologram and leather serial strip to confirm....

Hi there! New to the Fendi forum. Can someone authenticate this Fendi?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Fendi-B-bag-Used...item4a9bfe83c7

What should I ask the seller to show me as far as more pictures go? Also, I noticed the seller has sold other high end purses slightly used. But two or three of the same slightly used purses. Let me guess... fakes?

Hmmm...doubtful, but would need to see clear, close-up pics of the hologram and leather serial strip to confirm...

The seller says she can't find the hologram--even on the inside pocket. Does this style have a hologram?

This is what she said:

i am sorry I do not see it. I bought this bag at /eiman ?arcus so I am 100% i have seen a hologram in the newer Fendi purses but not in the lighter styles. do you have a store near you that you can go and check? I will go to my Neiman Marcus as soon as I can today to check. I also looked on ebay at other totes from reputable sellers and no hologram. rgardless you can rest assured this bag is authenti or i will refund your money.
