Thanks. Could you tell me how it is a fake? It's not that I don't believe you but the place I bought it normally doesn't do returns and I would like to return it but I need to know what to point out to see how I can get my money back.

Thanks.

We don't normally like to list the things that make a bag authentic or fake, as this helps the fakers make better fakes...I can tell this bag is fake just by looking at the leather serial strip...can you tell me if there is a hologram tag inside the bag as well?

Fendi only started using the hologram and leather serial strip combination in 2003. Any pre-2003 bags will have a serial number embossed in the interior lining or inside pocket in either silver or gold ink. You are welcome to take some photos of your bag, exterior, interior & the embossed serial number, and post them on here for us to confirm. :yes:

On the inside it says Fendi all over it. Let me see if I can get some more pics. I really just want my money back since it is a fake. The store that I bought it at normally only offers credit so I am hoping they will make an exception and refund it.

Hi,

No there is no serial number to the lining of the zippered pocket. The only number that it is on it is the one in the picture. I was told that this was an older bag not that makes a difference. Thanks for all of your help. I appreciate it and I hope I can get my money back.

No, then it's most definitely fake then with no serial number....where in HK did you buy it??
Click to expand...

actually it was bought in a Fendi boutique...through your experience, do bags more than a decade old have serial numbers? there is fendi sewn all over on the inner bag and the lining does look neat to me though...

unless the staff sold me something that's not authentic? i researched that Fendi bags in the 80s does not have serial numbers but what about mine? *gosh*

so sorry for the trouble...thanks for your help and advice.
