It is a spy glass hobo in Tribal Colors. I'd need a few more pics...but so far no issues noted. :smile1:

Hmm, so the seller says that there is no hologram in the bag. I have a boutique-bought Spy bag from a year or two before it looks like the "Tribal Colors" came out and it definitely has a hologram. Is this style supposed to have one? I can't seem to find an answer online. By the way, seller sent what I believe are the same photos so no point in uploading seperately from my phone :-(

Edited to add: seller wants me to pay via Venmo or Mercari, hence the hesitation. From what I can tell there are no fees for her but no protection for me.

Hoping for some advice from one of you experts on here! I've never purchased a Fendi, but have been wanting to. Is the authenticity (or lack thereof) obvious? The seller posted a photo of the hologram, but not the serial tag. She doesn't have 100% reviews, and she provided a "its real" response when I asked her questions. She has other luxury bags listed at significantly higher prices (that I can't afford...ha). This bag is hard to find already, but I can't tell whether this colorway was ever created as I can't find it on google. Any advice is appreciated!

Name: Fendi B Mix Baulotto

Pictures are available under ebay listing (I can't get them to load here):

I know nothing about those payment options....but the hologram tag should be there....directly across from the leather serial # strip she shows....can't help you without it. ;)

I hope this gets to baglady.1 Yikes!!

I'm new to the site and cant seem to get into Fendi authenticate portion of the site.

My real question is about a Fendi SpyBag which was given as a gift in approx 2002. Used only twice. My research tells me hologams weren't used on their bags then. Can you help?????? Thank you thank you

I've attached the pic of the gold plate and lining and leather embossed serial number. I'm so sorry; having difficulty figuring how to submit all of this.

I spoke with realreal.com and my local Fendi store and apparently there were no holograms used then?? Your opinion on the holograms????

You are in the authentification spot now...LOL!:D

Your research is totally faulty I am afraid. Not sure why such Reputable places would make such a statement.
In Fact as a rule, FENDI SAs don't makes such statements at all.
Maybe a mistake or ??

Only FENDI bags produced prior to 2003/4 were non hologram.

The spy bag came out in 2005...so just do the math. :thinkin:

Also, the bag is obvious fake for many many reasons beyond the hologram issue.

Sorry! ::flowers:

but Gifts of $2300 MSRP bags are well, you get what you paid for.... :whistle:

Many TIA for any help putting my mind at east about this wallet. My main concern is someone cut off the rfid tag! (why??). While back I also bought a previous edition of the monster wallet off ebay which I posted on here and it came back fake - though there were some giveaways , overall it looked pretty close to my eyes, scary! So a big thanks to all the authenticators!

Yes -- it is misleading that the RFID tag has a picture of a scissors & dotted line just begging to be cut off...yet it helps us to authenticate it! :noggin: I don't know what FENDI was thinking with this RFID system - it is an epic FAIL on helping to authenticate their bags. Plus Retailers don't have the RFID scanner either...! :panic:

That being said, the wallet looks good to me. It feels like real saffiano leather...correct? ;)

Thank you so much baglady.1!! Yes it feels and looks like real saffiano leather, I compared it to the key pouch which I got from nordies and its a good match whew :smile1: Thanks very much again, I always wondered what the rfid tag was actually good for since no one seems to scan it or anything in stores.
