Guys I've decided not to go with a mini Chanel - honestly everyone has one here in Paris, locals and tourists, plus those who have fake ones. It's everywhere and has become very basic, plus I have to admit I'd only get it to be part of the gang, which is stupid. The classic flaps (in all sizes) really doesn't represent who I am, if you know what I mean, like I don't see myself with it and don't LOVE it. So I'm going for the Peekaboo mini black nappa OR Lady Dior mini black lambskin. Both are the same price here in France. Going to try them on this week! Will post pics + final choice. Thank so much for your replies! Viva purseblog! xx

Where I live there are no designer bags, so I have to travel. My Fendi kan i is my first designer bag and I looove it. I went to Neiman Marcus in Charlotte this weekend and looked in their chanel store but the bags didn't look special at all to me! I know they have different finishes but often the leather wasn't impressive, the insides were just so plain. Plus like you said, so many people have them - I think I decided not to try to get a Chanel when I saw like 20 girls at a party on Real Housewives carrying their's around (20 dramatic, loud, overdressed girls). I think peekaboo or lady dior sound like such a better choice!! can't wait to see pics.
 
I came back from Paris last week with a new friend and I'm completely in love and obsessed! Meet my new mini peekaboo! It's ivory nappa leather, the strap and handle are water snake, and it has the bug eyes in the interior! I debated between this one and the classic black mini peekaboo for what must have been 15 minutes in the store (haha). I am really adverse to white/ivory bags for practical reasons, but I loved the bug eye interior and the contrast between the ivory and the black. Thanks for letting me share!!

I love it! The eyes and snake details are so cool!

I suggest not always using the Twilly around the handles, because it covers up the snakeskin. I know that the scales may lift a tiny bit over time if you use the handle without a Twilly, but that's the hallmark of real snakeskin and It think it adds a bit of character.
 
Guys, how is it with wear and tear on your peekaboos? I have one mini in nappa and one in selleria and even though both leathers hold very well, metal parts are pretty easy to scratch. It really bothers me, bcs anytime I reach for something in the bag, I can see a new scratch ... :hrmm::huh:

Thank you!! I'll try to let the handle breathe once in a while, but I just want to keep it perfect for a while longer. :biggrin:
 
Hi everyone! Just wanted some thoughts on the Fendi Peekaboo in small in selleria leather. I'm so in love with the bag, but I think the hefty price tag threw me off. I know I'm in the Fendi subforum, but do you think that this bag is worth the almost $4k price tag? It is beautiful and well made, but I somehow just can't justify the price tag. Thoughts?

It's an investment piece. The bags are so carefully crafted and wear beautifully. All of the fendi bags i own have aged perfectly. I never have to worry about glazing issues or uneven stitching when it comes to their bags. I think that while the Selleria is a bit pricier, its totally worth it in terms of durability. It gives the PAB an edgier look while still keeping its classic shape. I also think its important to mention that Fendi has the best customer service i have ever experienced so know that if anything is wrong with your purchase, they will be more than willing to help.

I absolutely agree with everything you say! I understand what you mean about spending that much but after I got my Peekaboo...let me tell you I’m actually more happy wearing her than my chanel or LV to be honest [emoji7] I would say go for it if you still can’t justify the price there’s always the chance to return [emoji28]
