I was looking at the black peekaboo the other day and the SA showed me how you can buy one of their short straps to add on to the peekaboo. That way you can have an all black bag when you want, but add a colorful short strap when you are in the mood. The only reason I'm bringing this up is because I bought a gray/blue peekaboo because I wanted a color, but now I regret not get a more classic color and then embellishing when I'm in the mood. Good luck deciding! It's a great bag!

I find that Fendi Peekaboo has one of the few bags that come with great practical accessories that transforms the bag. I am highly thinking about the black peekaboo mini.

Do sellerias only come with silver hardware? I have been eyeing these and the regular mini in nappa leather but I am scared that the regular mini wont hold its shape over time, also scared of scratches. I’d like my purchase to have gold hardware (I have a zucca strap you with gold hardware I plan to use with it) but cant seem to find any sellerias with gold hardware.

Yes. I have the regular peekaboo and have had it over a year. It has held up really well. If you want the gold hardware, definitely go for the regular peekaboo. I made the mistake of not getting what I wanted (husband talked me out of the black with gold hardware), and I am still lusting over that bag. So go for want your heart desires!

Ahh thanks! Yes, I def want a black with gold hardware, I’m just scared of the smooth leather. I have a Celine Nano Luggage with silver thats more casual that I wear all the time but wished I had a black bag with gold hardware on certain occasions (I have Chanel mini flap in black and gold but I can barely fit much plus is not very casual). I have been eyeing this for a while and saw some pics of it with the zucca strap you that kind of sold the bag for me. I just fear for the leather as I don't baby my bags, everything I have has some texture to the leather except for my Chloe Faye and I barely wear that one bc of that reason. I don't overstuff my bags, which is a good thing to begin with but I am not the best at storing them properly. How do you store yours? Thanks!

I am pretty careful with my bags, but I do use them without worrying too much about them. I do remove their straps and place them back in the bag and then place the bag in it's dust bag. I enjoy my bags and don't baby them, but I am not rough with them either. I hope that helps!

Does anyone have the regular Peekaboo in large size with smooth leather and occasionally puts a laptop (e.g. macbook air 13') in it? Wondering if the leather/bottom would loose shape if it was used as a work bag for several years. I like the look of soft leather, but not the bumpy surface I see on many used pieces on Ebay and vestiaire...

I recently bought this peekaboo in ginza 6. I am in love but I'm normally a black tote kind of girl so this is forcing some adjustments to my everyday carry.View attachment 4271215

Hi,
I am looking to purchase an exactly same bag as yours but the seller said the tag has been gone. can you take a picture of the serial number of your bag? I would like to compare it to the bag I am eyeing. thanks so much!

I have similar questions. I'm looking for a new everyday bag - in black. How well do these bags wear in the lambskin? A lot of them look rather shapeless on the resale market. I love how classic this bag looks but am curious about using it as a daily bag?

to be honest i am not sure about lambskin. I have been wanting a peekaboo bag for ages then eventually i decided to go for it. I am quite disappointed with the wear of lambskin. This is the least used bag in my collection like 10 times in the last 2 years and yet has shown the most wear. This is already the status. I still love the peekaboo but perhaps not the nappa.

I think you might be looking at older models on EBay etc. They used to be significantly floppier with, I think, possibly different material, and definitely different construction making them less structured than they are now. The seams used to be turned in, now they are turned out and glazed. The older ones look like thinner leather to me, but I haven’t seen one in person so I can’t be sure about that. I don’t know how far back it changed. I have black Peekaboos bought in the last 2 or 3 years new, used regularly and holding up very well, not showing any wear at all. They recover their shape fine if I’ve carried anything lumpy in them. I can’t say for sure how they’d hold up with a regular load of a laptop, as I haven’t carried anything that large regularly. I have my iPad in them with no problem. I treat them quite well but I do use them as bags, not mere decoration! I have a large Selleria too, which I got to be that touch more practical and robust for travel (thinking of potential scratches sustained when pushing bags under the airline seat in front) but my heart belongs to the beautiful smooth ones!

I’m also considering a Mini Peekaboo and loved the Napa leather as it makes the real light. I’m still not sure about the color and I noticed several times when I check the bag that the quality is not perfect !
And your comment worries me more ..

I was thinking of getting a Mini Peekaboo or Medium Lady Dior and leaned much more toward the Peekaboo as it is more functional .
But I’m worried about the quality of the bag because it is still an expensive bag for Fendi .

I went with a peekaboo but it is a runway version so it is not lambskin, super hard to find. I am still waiting for it so we’ll see when it comes in. I lusted over a peekaboo forever but this is what stopped me, the lambskin is beautiful but it doesn't look like it will hold its shape and scratches easily and I am not one to baby my bags. Most pictures I’ve seen always look all floppy after a few years and that worries me. It is a beautiful bag in lambskin but i’m very clumsy and that worries me lol

If you like silver hardware consider a selleria tho, they are even more beautiful imo and seem to hold more of their value. I prefer gold hardware, although the runway version i purchased is silver lol (but it has a confetti bar and with a wrappy the silver wont show as much!) but if you like silver I’d consider that.

Btw- a lady dior is next on my list lol twinsies!

Thanks for your input.
The runway bag is real cool! Great choice...enjoy it!

Yeah, I want silver hardware but the selleria feel little heavier. But you are right it might be a better option.

And yeah, a Peakboo should come before The Lady Dior is it is much more function and easy to use.

Thank you for the explanation! In that case I'll take a look at them in person.
