Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available, if not, provide source):
Attach photos


Pics needed to authenticate Fendi:

1. Clear pic of entire bag / accessory
2. Clear close up pic of hologram tag (front and back)
3. Clear close up pic of leather serial tag
4. For older vintage items - need a clear pic of serial stamp
5. If bag / accessory is constructed of Fendi Logo Jacquard Fabric - need a large area close up pic of the logo print
6. Clear pic showing a nice large swatch of inside lining (lining does vary by style)
7. Any hardware logos, rivets, underside of zipper head
8. If available pic of authenticity card
9. for Selleria bags, need to see a clear close up pic of the silver Selleria plate

**Close up shots can be tough, best way to capture: camera needs to be set on super macro (little flower icon), tons of light, no flash and a very steady hand, press down very lightly on the shutter to focus and take the pic. You might have to take more than one, sometimes at different angles to get the perfect pic**

Additional notes:

Hi all,

I am going to post a few pictures of an older set of suitcases which has been found during a house dissolution. They wear the Fendi Zucca logo all over but it nowhere says Fendi, so I think it’s fake. The only thing which gives a lead to origin are the combination locks. They say “amiet” so I focused on that.
http://www.amiet.com/index.php/about-us
“Since 1945 Amiet has been developing and producing locks and accessories for the leather goods industry. Amiet stand for superior quality, long experience and leading technology. All Amiet models are patented worldwide...” So that seems to match to a luxury brand somehow.
Googling Amiet + suitcase I found several suitcases which have the exact shape as the FF one and many with the same locks but are for example Louis Vuitton or MCM branded. The last two pictures are references to that which I found online and which are stated to be authentic. This confuses me a bit.
Has anyone ever seen these kind of suitcases and knows something about them? The build quality isn’t what I would expect from a Luxury suitcase nowadays, but maybe times have changed and once this was acceptable. Thanks for any hints.

Best regards Annie

Hi,

Would be really grateful if someone would be able to offer advice on a bag which I have recently sold and the buyer has told me that she believes it to be a fake. It is a Zucca Mama Baguette and was purchased from Off Saks Fifth Avenue in Orlando in 2004. The buyer commented that it was the strap which initially started her concerns. It isn't a soft luxurious leather but quite a hard, almost shiny looking strap, the colour of plain chocolate. Is anyone au fait with this bag who would instantly recognise that feature as being a red flag? Because of where I purchased it from, I am really shocked to hear that it may be a fake but having researched the matter on Purse Forum, I read a thread about fake Fendi being allegedly sold at Off Saks in the early 2000's. Any help would be fantastic. Thank you.

Hello! Please help me authenticate this vintage fendi purse. I bought it from Poshmark. Thank you in advance.

 

[Saniano]

Hi,

I’m hoping someone can help me ☺️. I’ve recently received a vintage Fendi Zucca bag from Etsy.. generally it looks good but I’m just concerned about the authenticity as there’s no stitching on the strap. Please could you kindly advise if this is real or a fake-I’ve included photos of the hardware etc below. Thank you so much in advance x

 

[Saniano]

Here’s a few more of the strap etc x

Hi,
I’m sorry if I haven’t followed the correct format for displaying this item for authenticity purposes. If you let me know what I have done wrong I will rectify it. I would be so grateful for your expertise in this matter as I really do not know where else to go for such advice

 

[Saniano]

Just so I’m following the correct format:

Item name: Fendi Zucca Mama Bag
Link: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/16...oEh5xBXkV1&eaid=19100648620&x_eaid=71137431f7

This was the original listing on Etsy.

Photos: Please see photos from my post above.

If you could help authenticate, I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much in advance

If you look through this thread, you will see that the authenticator pops in when she can, but is quite busy in her real life. I would suggest your find a paid authentication service to handle this for you.
I believe that authenticate4u is a respected service. You can google them

I looking to buy a Fendi authentic bag, so I’ll be posting here the multiple bags I’ve found so far on the same site! I hope at least one of them is real. The site is basically the equivalent of a Mexican EBay but with no auctions. It’s hard to guide the sellers to take better quality pictures of the details! If there’s any more pictures you guys need to verify the bags, just let me know.

Item Name: Fendi Zucca jacquard baguette

The seller told me the bag doesn’t have the hologram tag, since the bag was purchased before 2004. She says the code on the bag reads: 2262-8BR042-028
