I'd love to hear people's opinions.
I currently own a red mini Peekaboo in nappa leather (first attachment). I really like it for its classic silhouette and the rich colour but there are two things about it that annoy me a little:
1. When I close the turnlock, it pulls at the leather on the face of the bag. I've seen people mention this same issue on Youtube. Consequently, I feel I have to wear the bag open and I really like the look of the closed turnlock on more structured Peekaboos. Keeping it open is not the most secure way to wear the bag.
2. For whatever reason my interior stiff partition (the handle) tends to lean more to one side, meaning the bag can look slightly unlevel when I carry it. I doubt anyone else would ever notice but it annoys me.
I bought it last year on my birthday. I actually went in to the Fendi boutique just to look at the black nappa mini again but swooned at the red and my boyfriend and SA convinced me to buy the red on the spot. Normally I like taking my time and sleeping on things before commiting to a purchase. I had panicked thoughts about returning the red for the black but the boyfriend kept reinforcing how lovely it was (and is!)
So here's the dilemma:
I still want a black Peekaboo! I know I definitely want a more structured Peekaboo that will close properly and look more sleek and trapezoid in shape. I feel like the nappa minis look slightly too rounded.
I can't decide between the medium regular and the Essentially (see photos attached). Also, (maybe for a second new Peekaboo) I love the mini Selleria as well as the X Lite medium size!
Thoughts on these bags? Which one will likely keep its structure better?
Problematically, Melbourne has been in strict lock down since March (we only had a month or so where shops opened again in June) and shops won't open again until 26th October so I haven't been able to try anything on in the Fendi boutique. It's obviously driving me crazy haha.
Back in June I only managed to try on the medium Regular in black and compare it with the black nappa mini but couldn't decide. Then everything shut!
Well done if you made it to the end of this long post! Xxx
