These '80s bags did indeed have serial numbers printed in ink on the lining of the interior zippered pocket. It may have been rubbed off over time, but there still should be some trace of it, if she looks hard enough...Ok this seller when on and on about the history of Fendi bags and that there were no serial numbers of 1980s bags. She even forwarded me an eBay link which gives all info on Fendi bags and how to avoid purchasing a fake bag.
As I only trust your expertise, I am not going to purchase this bag. Thanks for your help. It's greatly appreciated!![]()
