Their customer service was great! It took a bit of back and forth for me to get them to take it in for repairs though. I live in Wyoming in the U.S and am very far away from any Fendi boutiques; so all of my customer service was done via the phone and email. It took about two weeks to get an address to send it in. I should mention for keeping it's shape, when not in use I keep it stuffed, and i mostly keep the side buttons latched rather than going for the sag that gives you the Peekaboo look.
Ahh.. i suspected as much. Thanks!! I've just been itching to buy something! LOL!
I know exactly what you mean!
Maybe you're looking at the older Peekaboos (1st generation ones) released years ago. They were constructed very differently, without the edge-dying that you see on the current ones. The leathers were also thinner back then.Hi all!
I have a small question about peekaboos.. I have liked Fendi as a brand for a while now, but do not own any items from Fendi (yet). I have been contemplating getting a Peekaboo (medium/regular) one for a while now but I actually never saw a peekaboo in real life (we do not have a Fendi store in the Netherlands) but during a business trip in Jakarta I fell in love with a grey one..!
As it is a big amount to spend for me, I have been doing some research, i.e. looking up more information on Fendi leather types, but also have been checking out some pre-loved sites in order to see how they hold up. Now this is where I am doubting a bit. When seeing the Peekaboo new in store and in pictures also from the forum, they look very pretty and quite structured. - This is definetly what I am looking for, i.e. my holy grail bag is a Kelly Sellier, but I do not have the finances yet to fund a Kelly. I think this is also what attracts me to the Peekaboo, even though quite different, it reminds me a tiny bit of a Kelly and I heard that the craftmanship exceeds Chanel's at the moment and is almost on par with that of Hermès (or is the latter statement only applicable for selleria leather bags)? - however, when looking at used Peekaboos online, they look very slouchy to me, some even pretty battered and with quite a lot of creasing...
Is this something that I needto take into account with Peekaboos? Or does it mostly depend on the type of leather and/or size (medium vs. large)? In the mean time I have been lurking the Fendi website everyday now and I might treat myself to a Fendi WOC for my brithday this month. Nevertheless, I always end up checking the peekaboos again on the webiste.
Iwant to make an educated purchase with having the right expectations... hope you can help me with my question
The new Peekaboos should maintain their structure over the years, even if you choose to drop the front down all the time.
Here is the old Peekaboo with the thinner leather, no edge-dying, and internal side seams:
Here is the current Peekaboo with the edge-dying and external side seams (this actually gives the bag more structure, too):
Notice how the leather is very different, and much more structured in the current models.
I will recommend the long strap, I got this by mistake but i still like it and I can use it for other fendi bag!!

Hello, just wondering if you have received your bag and if you can share your thoughts. Are they legitimate? Thank you!
Yes they are legit!! I don’t buy used bags or sell the ones I own, they are all part of my memories and it takes me back to when I bought them. I love the monster collection and I think the fur quality and leather is very nice, but the metalware is the only imperfection compared to Chanel.
Mine sits right next to me! 
Yes, the Peekaboo is a heavy bag. Hmm, well I have a selleria mini Peekaboo and a medium Kan-I, so it's not quite an apples to apples comparison. For what it's worth, the mini Peekaboo weighs in at 1 lb 7.5oz and the medium Kan-I is 1 lb 10.25oz (I weighed them!
) including the straps, so they are almost the same weight despite the size difference. I suspect if you want the smaller Kan-I, it would be lighter. My medium Peekaboo, with the whipstitching and grommets and the original strap (and not the Strap You I usually wear with it) is 3 lbs. Does this help?Oops! I just realized my son's iPad Mini was lurking in my Medium Peekaboo when I weighed it.
It's more like 2 lbs 2 oz! That makes much more sense... Thanks for your help! I have really bad back problems to begin with and now I’m afraid this bag is just too heavy for me, I haven’t even used it once since I got it and now I’m stuck with itYes, the Peekaboo is a heavy bag.

hopefully I can sell and think about a lighter bag, I love structured top handle bags which is why I was drawn to the peekaboo, hopefully I can find another alternative! Thanks again xo
