Got her pre-loved all soft and smushy. Dressed her up with a scarf and another peekaboo hahaha. Love the look of peekaboo on peekaboo!

I love the color of your bag! I've seen a lot of pre-loved peekaboo in that leather which has lost its shape and become very soft and smushy. Is there any ways to avoid that from happening? I feel like it can look very beaten up if its super soft. I do like a bit of slouchiness but if its too smushy, I feel like it doesn't look as good? Is it just me or thats just how peekaboos will all end up like that?

I've been seriously looking into buying the burgundy mini Peekaboo in nappa leather, and was wondering if some of you mini Peekaboo owners out there could advice me on how yours is holding up? I just stumbled upon the exact same bag on Fashionphile, and got a bit worried when I saw the wrinkles around the lock. I tend to favour more structured bags, and realise the Peekaboo might not exactly fall into that category. But I'm fine with a bit of slouching, I just don't want the sides to collapse and the leather to wrinkle and crease all too much.

Here is a link to the aforementioned bag: https://www.fashionphile.com/fendi-nappa-mini-peekaboo-satchel-bordeaux-206264

Hi guys! I have a question: should I get a Peekaboo mini OR a Chanel square mini? This will be my first big handbag purchase, and just for info both bags are the same price where I live. I absolutely love the Peekaboo, but am wary of its low resale value (it's rather an important factor to me), and of the way the leather will move (or rather slouch) over time. The Chanel mini square resells better I think, and is more likely to maintain its shape. It's also a classic, but I don't care for that because the Peekaboo is amazing and so elegant. What do you guys think??

The peekaboo quality far surpasses Chanel mini quality. Plus you have a top handle and I use this all the time. The mini won’t lose its shape as it’s just not big enough. In terms of resale I think if you got one you would never want to sell it. I adore the mini peekaboo, in fact I keep mine on a drawer unit in my bedroom because it’s so stylish.

You're so right. I am so torn! I know the Fendi quality is superior to Chanel - you're paying for leather craftsmanship vs. a name. You can play with the chains of the Chanel to make it top handle but yeah, it's never going to be a Peekaboo. In terms of fragility though the PAB seems more vulnerable, and I'm not one to baby my bags. I have my eyes on either a black regular one, or a pink python one that is pre-loved. I feel like python would be better, more resistant. Thank you for your reply xx

The PAB is definitely not fragile and I have a light coloured one in nappa. I don’t abuse mine but don’t baby it either. One day I laid it down on top of a bunch of keys and the shape indented onto the leather. I moved it and come the morning there was no indentation at all. I’m no expert but I’m not sure python is more hardy, perhaps someone else will chime in. I forgot to add that you can fit heaps in the mini PAB, it’s very deceptively roomy. Look forward to your decision [emoji4]
