Hi all,

After a really terrible and disappointing VC experience recently (which dragged on for nearly a month) where l ‘tried’ and failed to buy a mini peekaboo, the bag has played on my mind to the point where now l am considering buying it straight from Fendi to avoid any kind of repeat of this last experience. The bag l wanted off Vestiaire is no longer available on the Fendi website so l have narrowed it down to the following two bags -

1. Lilac Mini Iconic (Selleria)
2. Brown Mini Iconic

I was originally looking for a nice brown or burgundy peekaboo as l don’t currently have any brown bags and was looking for the perfect autumn/winter bag. I’m not sure on this shade of brown though. Does it look like tan (which l like) or is it too orange? What do you think of this shade? I don’t want a dark brown shade, but wonder if this is a bit too chestnut or dare l say it ... diarrhoea coloured? Am l being silly? I wish l could go to a store to look at it in person but that is not currently possible for me due to distance and Covid.

I see the lilac bag as more of a spring/summer bag because it is so light and fresh looking. I do really love the colour on this although l expect that l would need to be more careful with it than the brown one due to colour transfer. I have some protective spray, does anyone know if that helps stop colour transfer on this type of leather?

I would want to use the bag frequently as an everyday type bag that will last me years. I love the design of the Peekaboo, particularly in the mini size, and love that it is a classic bag which won’t go out of style. This is how l will justify the cost to myself :smile:

Anyway, l feel torn between these two bags. Which one do you prefer and which do you think you would buy if you were me?

Definitely the tan! I loooove this tan color. It is so versatile and classy. It will go with so much more than the lilac, which is also pretty, but not really a “staple” color.
 
We have such similar taste! Both these bags have featured on my Peekaboo wishlist. I too am unable to see the bags in person due to retail closures and strict stay-at-home lock down restrictions which have carried on for months.

While the lilac version is mesmerising if you're looking for an everyday bag I would suggest the tan calfskin mini. It is stunning and would go with far more outfits. The lilac is unique and super pretty but has spring/summer warm weather vibes and I'd personally struggle wearing it all year round.

I recently watched a great Youtube review where the tan (I think it's the same bag) featured:


I certainly don't think it looks too orange. It looks amazing on the girl in the video.

Let us know what you decide on! Xxx


Thanks, yes, it’s sooo much harder when you can’t see them in person isn’t it. Thanks for the link, l didn’t see that one when l was researching the bag. It looks really lovely in the video and l can now tell that it will match the colour of my favourite boots. Having said that l still love the contrast stitching and the colour of the lilac one so still trying to figure it out lol.
 
I saw the lilac in person it really is so beautiful! However it really is a spring/summer color.
What will you get more enjoyment out of? A more practical or more frivolous one? What will make your heart sing longer? Will you regret being practical? Or regret having a bag you can only use a few months of the year?

Just fyi it is very small inside.

Yes, exactly, thanks for helping me work out what the issue is. My head is telling me tan and my heart is saying lilac. In reality they are both gorgeous bags and l’m sure l’ll be overjoyed with either of them. l think l’ve just l’ve just been worrying about whether l’ll end up regretting the bag l end up getting.

Sorry I'm not quite helpful but I do love both. Personally I love bags of various colours and don't have an everyday bag as I switch out twice a week. If you want an everyday bag then the brown would be a better option. Wear also wouldn't show up as obvious on the darker tone.

Thanks Firstfullsteps, yeah sorry, l meant more that l wouldn’t want to just keep the peekaboo as a special occasion bag but one that l could wear regularly and rotate in with my other bags.

Thanks, yeah, l think you’re right that it will work much better with my wardrobe than the lilac (even though the lilac is so pretty).

I’ve really been going back and forth on this over the last few days and l’ve come to the conclusion that l won’t truly know until l’ve seen the bag irl so l’m just going to have to order one of the bags. I’m going to order the tan bag as l think that once l’ve actually seen it and tried it on with my wardrobe then l’ll want to keep it. However, if l don’t love the tan or find myself still undecided then l still have the option of returning it for the lilac.

Feeling really excited now l’ve decided what to do. Yay :) Off to order the bag now :)

Will post some photos when it arrives.

Hello guys, does any of you own Peekaboo ISEEU Medium or have seen it in real life? Our government has closed all the shops, so I can’t go to Fendi boutique to check it myself.

I’m definitely getting Fendi Peekaboo for my birthday, but I’m still undecided about the exact model. I had my eyes set firmly on Peekaboo Medium in Dove GreyCDFFBEC9-3D25-48E3-BAFC-80349CCA6E04.jpeg

but then Peekaboo ISEEU was introduced and now I’m torn between these two.


ISEEU looks more modern and it seems it will hold shape better, it’s more structured than the traditional Peekaboo Medium.

Sigh. Now I’m back at the beginning. What do you guys think? Which one would you choose?
 
Hi Cherryinbloom,

I have seen both in real life, the leather is still pretty similar and its the method of stitching that gives it a different shape. Unfortunately , as the ISEEU is a newer model , there arent many used ones to take reference of how the leather and new silhouette will season over time.

The iconic bar (tortoiseshell or gold in the ISEEU) still remains, but i think what is essentially different is that the custom pockets add that personalized bit to the bag. The tortoiseshell finishes are iconic to the dove grey/custom event and I would still pick that over the ISEEU because of the tortoiseshell and the custom pockets doesn't do much for me as i have a custom one. Perhaps one of your deciding factors could also be between the options of the bar and the custom pockets to help you with your decision. If the bar aint important, you could also consider the essentially, which is lighter :)

Hope you are able to make your decision ! :)
