Im almost positive this one was purchased in 1986 from a Fendi store in Italy either in Trieste or Udine. I found the serial # on this one - hope its clear enough:

I'd like to see a serial # which may be imprinted on pocket lining or bag interior somewhere. Also I'd like a pic of the strap metal clips that attach it to the bag. - clear & close up. TY. :smile1:

Hi Ladies - Found two old Fendi bags while cleaning out the closets and am fairly certain of origins but not 100% since these go back to the 1980's. Would love an expert eye on them.

1 of 2:
Im almost positive this one was purchased in 1984 from a Fendi store in Italy either in Milano, Trieste or Udine. I couldnt locate the serial # on the inside, although I read somewhere they may not have been using them at this time:

These are difficult, because so many good fakes out there. I need a complete pic of hologram tag (they put thumb over the code). Also pic of underside of closure buckle/snap. Finally, what are the last 3 numbers on the serial # strip, I have 0__9 - need middle number. :smile1:

Hi baglady -
Thanks for your response on this one too.
I checked the bag again and am just not seeing a serial number. Can you tell me when Fendi began using them in their bags? I'm sure it was purchased at a Fendi store in Italy in the early/mid 80s, 1984 at the latest.
Thanks for your expertise!

Hi! Could you please give me an opinion on this messenger? I have no idea is this autenthic or not. Has been in my aunt's closet for years and she pretty much just gave this to me and even she had bought this as second hand. I don't know what to do with it now, lol...

Have no clue about that. I am no expert on vintage bags, bear in mind I own several but only started collecting in 2006. In many cases a bag may be vintage, but we cannot tell if real or not without serial # - like this one. In others, even without serial #, we know or suspect it is not real. I own 2 bags that are real Fendi that do not have serial #, but it is obvious to me they are real FENDI just by features. Sorry I cannot do more.:smile1:
