CLOSED Authenticate This FENDI

[bobo2002]

The hologram is something Accio & I have massive files on & know which is real and which isn't for the most part. It varies by season & there are many fake holograms with codes & some without codes....so it is best to have us look at it....

I just received it though the mail and I took a few clear pictures for you girls to see. I am not too certain if this is authentic or not because there are few things that seems off compare to the one from the official website. " Fendi made in italy" is embossed rather than a gold plated hardware on the wallet , and below the hologram does not have authenticity number. I saw that other similar product has both elements. The seller insisted that she brought this wallet from neiman marcus, i didn't end up research further. Is it possible to have different model for this wallet?

Please kindly help me again to verify if this authentic or not. Thank you in advance.

It don't know why there is a difference, but this is definitely an authentic FENDI wallet.
It is dated 2014-5 -- so maybe it was an earlier season production.
Think Yellow is not available now maybe?
The embossed is the traditional way Fendi has made their wallets, so the gold plate is new enhancement.

Thank you so much for your quick response. I was just worry cus then it appears to have a slight difference with the same wallet( yellow) on nordstorm website. and even past season wallet has gold plate. Should I be worry?
I also have a side questions. I saw that some has sewed authenticity number below the hologram tag. How come some do not have authenticity number below the tag?

Normally I get an authentication before I bid, but I have an event and this was very last minute. I won this today, but haven't paid yet. Please authenticate. TIA!

Name: Authentic Classic Fendi Baguette White Sequin Body w White Leather Silver Metal
Seller: fashionfairy*godmother

:help:

Would need to see clear, close up pics of the serial number and hologram (if it has one) to confirm...

this is what I get for not following my own rules. There is no hologram and there is no serial number. no strip inside the pocket or anywhere. The pocket zipper pull is metal, but the zipper teeth are not metal. I am assuming this is a fake bag, yes? Guess I will have to return it.

Check to see if there is a serial number embossed in silver or gold ink on the lining of the zippered pocket...

I did. I even reversed the entire bag looking for it.

I'm pretty sure it is a fake baguette...be it a really good one.
Return it for a refund....

so I filed my not as described, and pointed out there was no serial number. I got this response: "The serial number is on the front snap closure, ". Seriously, has anyone ever heard of this?

Tell her that is not a Fendi serial #, that is the Patent number for the snap left by the Snap manufacturer....which is not consistent with authentic FENDI BTW. Simply tell her that the bag was submitted to the purse forum and The authenticator found it not to be authentic. It is not necessary to tell her any more details. If she still does not OK the return, I suggest you accelerate the request to Ebay after waiting the allotted time to correct the matter. Ebay has been quite good about these situations lately....

Hi! I read post 1, I don't know much about this bag, it was found in my mothers closet, and looks to be a vintage. I have attached the photos, but am not able to provide any name or info! Thanks for the help!

 

[icydipndots]

More pics!

Need to see clear, close up pics of the hologram to confirm....according to the serial number on the leather tab, it was produced in 2004 so this is not vintage yet. I have my suspicions on its authenticity though...so a pic of the hologram will confirm....

Hi everyone...

I'm a newbies when it comes to Fendi. And I came across a good deal on a Grey Petite Dujours through a local personal shopper. However, she mentioned that the bag is missing its hologram sticker and have only a single cloth tab (that piece of cloth tag sewn to the inside lining of the bag) instead of two.

Further details on the bag: it was bought during an excursion in Italy. Thus it was missing the original receipt and she's thinking of exchange it with the Italian boutique instead of the local ones. But I could have it at a good deal if I'm ok with it not having the hologram sticker. And she could have it hot stamped with my initials (further proves that the bag is an original since Fendi would not work on fake ones).

My questions are...
1) Is the hologram sticker important?
2) Is there any other clues that would give me some ideas that the bag is indeed original?
3) If there should be any need for a repair (knock on woods), would Fendi be willing to take it in..even without the hologram sticker?

Thanks everyone..

We would need to see clear, close up photos of the black fabric tag that the hologram would have been on, the RFID label, the serial number on the back of the leather tab, the entire bag and any other photos you can provide of the hardware, zipper pulls, etc. to confirm...

I don't know if Fendi would repair it.

the seller wrote to me: "The serial number is on the front snap closure, all photos were why was shipped, please provide your scratch photo. This handbag was preowned and used."

Tell her that is not a Fendi serial #, that is the Patent number for the snap left by the Snap manufacturer....which is not consistent with authentic FENDI BTW. Simply tell her that the bag was submitted to the purse forum and The authenticator found it not to be authentic. It is not necessary to tell her any more details.

I highly recommend no one EVER buy from this seller. She is giving me a really hard time and has NO respect for TPF. I pointed out that the snap number is not the serial number. In the previous message, she says the serial number is on the snap. Note that now she says that there is no serial number. she wrote: (bolding mine)

"The purse forum is an opinion, I will not use that as a valid form of authentication. The snap is the same snap that you bid on, if you believe that this is not the correct shape for an authentic fendi handbag then you should have not bid on it originally. Also, Please send the photo of the scratch that you stated in the first message as I do not recall any major scratches on the buckle. If you had questions regarding the serial number those too should have been addressed before you bid. I did not include a serial number in the listing as I did not have one. But prior to 2004 they did not put holograms in the bags and where they did put the serial numbers was in the inner lining of the inner pockets, I have seen many authentic fendi handbags used that had these numbers partially rubbed off from wear."

when I pointed this out, she wrote: " I am sorry you feel this way but name calling will not resolve the issue. The bag is exactly as stated in the listing and if you had questions about serial number it should have been addressed before you bid and certainly before you paid. The bag is authentic and to prove its inauthenticity I ask you to please not turn to opion based sites but to take the handbag to fendi directly and ask them as they are the experts on their goods. Do what you must but I stand by my items."

I'm assuming she means opinion. Since her story changes from message to message, she obviously knew it was fake. I can't take the next step with eBay until the 29th, which really sucks cos I have a major event to go to, and I usually get a new bag for the occasion, but I sure won't be taking this bag out in public. ugh.

This matter has sort of moved to a subject that should be discussed in the Ebay section of the Forum. Fendi does not give statements on authenticity & she knows it. I will PM U if you don't mind on my personal advice. While the Purse forum is an "opinion" -- she should not disrepect it - many trading sites use as authority that "opinion".
