There should be a number on the back of the RFID tag right near the seam... Would need to see a pic of that and the serial number imprint...

Hi, Thank you all for the reply. BagLady, it looks, feels and smell like real leather and there isn't any tag or description card that came with it.

I had checked the wallet and missed out on this number that is printed on one of the compartment. Please kindly take a look on the 1st pic below.

The number is: 8M0299 - 1DR - 158 - 7032.

There isn't any serial number printed behind the RFID tag after the scissor cut off line though (pic2).

Hope it's enough to tell if it's authentic? Fingers crossed! :confused1:

In my humble opinion, it is authentic FENDI. Although the seller was "negged" by a buyer on a similar wallet...sometimes buyers just don't know what their talking about. It is unlikely for a buyer to go into FENDI to test authenticity, very few Fendi outlets & most peeps buy from retailer or online....so much easier to get an opinion here. Anyway....I can tell you from seeing both real & replica pieces that the Saffiano Pleather in replicas usually falls short when examined closely.
Enjoy your wallet! :smile1:

Also, when you provide feedback on the seller....let peeps know it was deemed authentic by BL.1 @TPF....;)
I hate to see a seller brought down wrongly for their sales...jeesh seller even accepts returns! Buyer's neg & comments were uncalled for!:cursing:

Hi baglady, I am so glad to hear that it's an authentic FENDI wallet that I had purchased and what you said was correct, I started to suspect the seller as she had too many of the same wallets for sale. That caused my suspicion on the authenticity of the wallet so when I receive it, I checked and was unable to find the RFID behind the tag. That scares me and also, the inner side thread sewn on both side of the wallet is not straight. Did you notice that? Here: http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Fendi-Qutweet-Wallet/10038027/product.html as you can see, the side thread sewn is straight. But mine isn't:

The model number is different too. Can you double confirm it's authenticity by looking at the thread sewn at the side of my wallet again please? Shouldn't it be straight? :sad:

As you knew too, there are too many fakes circulating and they made it so real that it's hard to tell whether it's authentic or not.

The seller showed me a pic of 1 quantity of the wallet that she bought for $400 and said she managed to sell it at $500 and made a profit of $100. So she went down to Fendi store to get another 5 of the same wallet to sell but 2 didn't pay for it. So after I bought this wallet, she should left with 1, but when I returned to see her listing, she had 2 more to sell. I guessed another 1 was returned back? IDK! Anyway, will leave positive feedback for her after you had doubled confirm it's authenticity ;)

My first thought when i received the wallet, was to get it authentic here by professionals as I know bringing the wallet down to a Fendi store, they will not provide such service like authenticate their own brand which I think it's ridiculous even for many luxury brands.

Hope to hear another good news from you.

Thanks for helping all the way!

Regards!!

Yes, I noticed the error in the sewing...I think the wallet may be a reduced item/second quality due to the defect...probably why she has a few. A defect does not make it nonauthentic.
The model ls number is style 8MO299 on both wallets (overstock & yours) .Any other coding (numbers, letters) is not relevant IMO. HTH :smile1:
