Unfortunately FENDI has made changes that make it near impossible for us to give opinion on 2015 bags....
Need pic of serial # on leather strip, hologram tag & RFID tag. These may be attached to the lining of the interior pocket.
Understood. I think it's OK. A helpful TPFer responded to my question in the Monster Tote thread and they said the bag they got at Nordstrom had the same details and no hologram tag, either. I also saw another person post their new petite 2jours with the same dustbag. I just don't get why Fendi would stop putting in the hologram tags. RFID is all well and good but most of us don't have RFID readers at our disposal.Unfortunately FENDI has made changes that make it near impossible for us to give opinion on 2015 bags....
Anyway, did you have an opinion on the cyclamen wallet? I think that's from 2013 or 2014. Here's the photobucket link again in case you missed it.

Just to add on the hologram issue: I recently bought a 2015 Fendi zucca shoulder bag from the online store of Al Duca D'Aosta (an authorized Fendi retailer in Italy.) The bag is splendid but has no hologram, just the serial number and the RFID. Customer care lady from the store told me that Fendi hasn't stopped making holograms, though...

The wallet looks fine (2013-4 season).
I don't get why FENDi did that either.
But I have seen too many fakes sold with real Fendi Cards & dustbags & receipts & tags....and they are getting much better at making the replicas picture perfect. Without a hologram tag, we just can't accurately give an opinion on these here at the AT at this time.
However if you have the bag in your possession -- it many be obviously real or otherwise. Photos can be deceiving.

It looks good, it should have a serial # imprinted on one of the leather compartments, sometimes a bit out of sight. If you can get a pic, it would be helpful....but so far it looks great!
Well, I didn't mean just the tags and cards were correct. I meant that I wasn't familiar with those white ones and was worried that there was no hologram tag. Other than that the bag seems OK to me. It looks, feels, smells OK. I do have several recent Fendi bags and SLGs for comparison, at least. And Overstock is a fairly reliable source for Fendi. I'm just going to have to trust my instincts and Overstock, I guess.The wallet looks fine (2013-4 season).

I can definitely understand why you guys can't make a determination on the 2015 from pictures alone. It's unfortunate but I certainly get it!
Thank you for the help on the wallet, btw. I really appreciate it.
This is my first time on the purse forum. I was recently having a discussion with my mom about how she may have felt some of the things on RLL and Hautelook might not be real. But I assured her that they guaranteed 100% authenticity. But the idea of buying something on there that was fake stressed me out so I did some research and found another thread on the purse forum that RLL had sold some fake Fendis. And it stressed me out so much that I wanted to verify that mine was real. I bought it in 2012; so it's been a while and I don't think they would reimburse me 3 years later, but I have to know! Help!
Note: There are a couple dirty/scuff marks because I use to carry it all the time.

I've uploaded the photos; I hope they work.

Just a side question. I just started reading about the hologram throughout the forum. I read that there is supposed to be authenticity number below the hologram. Did Fendi change it recently to have the authenticity to be imprint on the leather? Cus i didn't see any number below the hologram sticker for the wallet and I have already won the bid and paid.It looks good, it should have a serial # imprinted on one of the leather compartments, sometimes a bit out of sight.
