I'd need to see a serial # imprinted somewhere on the coin purse to authenticate. A bit confused by the authenticity card that clear mentions materials & colors that don't seem to apply (browns & Zucca vs Zucchino).:smile1:
 
Pretty sure this is real vintage wallet. Does it have a serial # anywhere? If so, I need a pic of it close up. Also, what does it say on the snaps. :smile1:
Hi thanks so much for the reply!!

I don't see a serial number anywhere. I have checked the cash compartment and all the card slots.

The snap says "HATO*HASI" or ...Hasi Hato?:smile1:

Thanks again
 
Need close up pics of snaps 0showing engraving & the metal tag/emblem inside wallet. Is it made of leather or plastic? Need pic of any serial #. Might be imprinted on compartment where you keep the cash, or lining of wallet.:smile1:

Hi, I'm finding it hard to get a clear shot of the snaps/tags but hopefully this helps. The snap says "Guang Tong" and the tag on the zipper says "Fendi / Roma / Italy / 1925"

The inside of the wallet is leather and the outside is some sort of canvas (?) or perforated material. The leather inside this one for some reason seems a little higher quality than the black one in my first post.

Also, with this one I can't find a serial number either. Not sure what that indicates... but please let me know! Again, I really appreciate the help :smile1:

Hi, I am new here. I got this vintage 80s Fendi Envelope Clutch from a charity sale. Can you please tell me is it authentic? I did my research too, but I think I need your opinion on this. TIA.

May be you guys know already about that but I thought it may help also to id the bag:
from eBay Guides
"...•Fendi Zippers: If the bag has one, ask about the zipper. Fendi’s zipper slides usually have the FF logo underneath, even on the inside zip pockets. (see photos) There are some exceptions to this rule and a few of the Fendi leather styles have RIRI on the underside.
•Spy Bags. Ask for the measurement of the Spy Compartment. Open diameter, from center hinge to hinge is 5 1/8”. I have not seen an variation. The replicas I’ve looked at ranged from 5” to 5 3/4". Take a look at the hinges and the pin holding them in place. Screws should be placed as shown in the photos in Guide II & III.The ends of the pins in the hinges should feel slightly rounded and smooth to the touch.
•When looking at the front of a closed bag, FENDI will be engraved on the bottom of the woven handle upside down and backwards. FENDI will also be engraved on the top front of the woven handle hardware. Directly on the back of the hardware behind the right side up FENDI, engraving should state MADE IN ITALY on three lines, centered, in upper case. Engraving should be clean. A replica may have the MADE IN ITALY engraving, but if you examine the print carefully on a replica, it may look darker in the crevices of the engraving.
•The top right side of the woven handle will have two small flathead screws, one larger than the other.
•Look for two-tone color hardware, light gold and silver. It’s difficult to determine unless you’re in the right light.
•End Cap of the Braided Handle is Engraved FENDI in gold and placement is at the bottom close to the hinge. The entire end cap is covered with a transparent and raised piece of Glass. It is nicely beveled along the entire edge.
•The black hologram tag inside is folded and sewn into the bag. The hologram is heat sealed and will not easily peel off nor will it do so from "sitting in a warehouse." The inside of the fold will be neat and smooth. The print is easily discernable. I’ve found the inside of the tags on the replica handbags sloppy. (see photos in Guide II and III) On newer authentic Fendi Spy bags, an alpha numeric code will be on one line on the bottom of the tag. Older Fendi Spy bags may have the A on the top of the numeric code. No need to worry if an authenticity card comes with your bag and the label is not entirely straight. No need to worry about the letters FOG on the card. It is a myth that this denotes a counterfeit bag.
•An alpha numeric code that includes the style number will be embossed on a leather strip inside the bag. The style numbers will be on the Authenticity card, but not the other alpha number code...."
 
pleae authenticate this,,
