All Things PEEKABOO - post pics, ask questions and chat here!

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

By the way, I think, at least currently, it’s only the mini that is sometimes lambskin, which people seem to worry about. It would make sense for the size, the softer material would be more appropriate for the smaller bag as the smaller frame would hold the shape and the softer material would make the space more usable. I have a mini, holding up nicely. I think that the regular (medium) and large Peekaboos are all calfskin. Mine certainly are, anyway, regular and large. Some have a lambskin lining inside the calfskin. Selleria is different again. My large Selleria Peekaboo is much floppier than my large calfskin Peekaboo, I just have it for situations where sustaining scratches would be much likelier and the Roman leather would show it less if it did happen. You can see all the leather descriptions on the Fendi website so you should be able to pick the one that meets your needs!

Thank you so much! Yes, the large one I'm looking at is the calf leather. Glad to hear it holds its shape well

Are items from luxurynextseason authentic? I purchased one the bags from a seller who said she bought it from her, the mini peekaboo runway edition with the confetti bar that has been popular here and on instagram. I sent the pictures to ***************** and they deemed the item not authentic with the following statement “The reasons this item is not authentic include but are not limited to:
SERIAL NUMBER”

Any experience with either luxurynextseason or ******************?

Great question! I purchased a bag from LNS and the confetti bar that goes around the clasp just fell off! I hardly used the bag and it happened after maybe 10 wears? I want to take it to a cobbler for repair but I can't believe a real Fendi bag would do that.

Thanks for your response, I have read that she is a reputable seller that has ties with Fendi and that is why she is the only one selling that particular bag but idk. I don't own many Fendi items other than a strap you, when i compare the branding and stitching it does not appear to be fake but I still went ahead and paid to have it authenticated since it was my first time purchasing from a reseller and not a boutique. I dont have a reason to believe the seller lied about purchasing from luxurynextseason since that is the only place I’ve seen the bag being sold and everyone who owns it has bought it from there. I used a reputable authentication service (not sure if the forum will automatically star out the name again) but bc the bags are supposedly “runway models” idk if that matters?

I contacted the seller and waiting to hear back. It struck me as weird how luxurynextseason always had “another bag that just came in” or “the last one being sold” when someone emailed and asked about this particular “rare” bag. But they also state in their website “ We urge all of our clients to verify the authenticity of their product at any Official Designer Brand's Stores or Authorized Retailers to resolve any doubt they may have. All designer brands have serial numbers of their products, which can be easily verified.” So idk, ugh.

Yes this!! They always had another one available.

I own many different luxury brand bags and my Fendi from LNS feels and looks real. It's just put me off the acrylic plate fell off so easily. I haven't had time to have it authenticated and plus I've owned the bag for a little over a year so it's a moot point for me to authenticate it now. I'm not saying it's fake but I am not too happy about the bag anymore and probably wouldn't purchase from LNS again.

Update:
This was the response she got:
“It’s a sample bag for fashion shows. That’s why authenticators don’t want to approve sample bags, they only bless store goodies. Designers don’t sell those sample bags in the market, they change serial numbers combination in order to prevent it from the retail market. That’s the reason.”

She also sent her a video of a girl who bought a bag from her and so did one of her subscribers and apparently she was selling the bag to fashionphile who flagged it as a counterfit. Apparently Penny called fashionphile so the girl could get her bag back and not be destroyed. She also offered the seller help selling the bag as they have a “huge waiting list”.

Wait, they are still selling this gray sample bag at LNS?!? Wow, they sure made a lot of samples
I believe it's supposedly from 2017 season? Shouldn't Fendi have caught on and cashed in on this bag themselves? Hmmm, very interesting and thank you for sharing arivera0817. Interesting that my "sample bag" broke so easily.....

She has it listed as out of stock on her website, before I found this seller I had emailed LNS since many people said they had luck emailing her asking about the bag and she told me they had one “they just received” , I asked if it was new and she said they only sell new items (ummm). Either way LNS was asking for $2900 for the bag, considering a new peekaboo is a few hundred more I decided to go with the seller I found and get it authenticated which led me here. The bag is from 2016 I believe which is why i find it weird she has so many available for something that was not produced to the public. Like I said- the item doesn't appear to be fake, the whole thing is just fishy.

I had bought the same one from her before, and when the package arrived, it wasn’t just feeling right. I thought I was buying a legit bag from Fendi through her, but the hardware was wrapped in blue clear tape, and the leather has very distinct smell. I thought it was very weird, so I examined inside for the serial number, and it was hollow!? What!? Hmm and then I checked the booklet it came with and found QR code, so I quickly scanned it and it took to open WeChat app which is a messaging app mainly used by Chinese people. This just made me wonder if the bag was made in China... I’m not sure.

My instinct told me something wasn’t right, so I DMed her and asked her about the serial number to which she replied pretty much the same like it’s a sample bag blah blah blahh. I just told her that I wanted a refund and she did. I will never buy this particular bag again. It’s a $2,700 dollars bag and is only sample bag. Why would I want to pay a sample bag so much that I can just buy a bag that comes straight from the store without any doubts of authenticity. What if I need a repair, will Fendi deem it as an authentic bag and repair for me?

Sorry for this message, but I really want to share my experience with you after reading your posts.

No thanks this is very helpful. Its odd, like I instastalked her and saw that she gets invited to showrooms and workrooms by Fendi. Just recently she got a personalized selleria with her name engraved from them, so I feel like the bag can’t be fake cause they would know... but it just doesn't seem right.

Yea... I just can’t wrap my head around that... I wonder if anyone ever tries to bring that “runway” version peekaboo to Fendi store and asks for a repair and what they will say.

yknow ladies, i am also eying that edition peekaboo and i've shortlisted a seller on my local resale site. she mentioned she got it from LNS too! also randomly googled and a lady on YT also mentioned she got hers there. how is that possible that so many pieces are being sold on that platform?
